5/5Works in areas without cell coverage
I suppose I should say that obviously the compass does point north just as it should when you are in areas with cell coverage. Of somewhat more use is the fact that when you are in the Yosemite high country/back country where there is no cell reception the compass still points north and is fully functional.

4/5Compass
Compass is a simple yet well designed and effective navigation application. Upon purchase if the free version users will get a classic compass interface that displays above the main design your location and the compass itself the coordinates steadily changing dependent on your movement. The app also has a paid version that will allow you to customize the compass interface using different themes and removes the ads as well. Compass works well as a guide for those who are using or are dependent on an iPhone or iPad device.

5/5Crash on launch
The app crashes on launch on my iPad 3 using the final version of iOS 9. None of the later versions of iOS can be installed on an iPad 3. The app has been updated and now works on my iPad 3. I increased the rating to 5. A very nice app and support is outstanding.

5/5Beautifully simple
This works fast and well, and gives GPS coordinates too, which I use in my water well business. It is the opposite of bloatware, and infrequent updates are fast. I wish more apps were like this.
