5/5My travel friend
I never review apps but I had to for this one. I love this very simple pointing app. If you are walking in a strange city and need to find an address other nav tools are a pain because you can’t get the map oriented until you start traveling. This simply points to where you want to be and tells you how far. I also love being able to casually hike knowing that getting back to my car is not going to be a problem. I would have gladly paid for this app but I appreciate that it is free!

5/5Very unique nav app
Great for walking in cities, out in the woods, or even finding where you parked. It gives a easy to read distance and heading to your destination. It also clearly displays the coordinates of your current location, which is often hard to find if present at all on other apps.

4/5Handy, but Quirky
Search function to find an address to navigate to is less intuitive than I’d like. Location name goes away when I tap it so I can’t long press and paste words into it. Can’t seem to search the map itself for an address. Have to go some weird way around to do it. Please remove the image of dentures in the favorites window. It was funny for about ten seconds. Now it’s just creepy.

5/5Fantastic Navigational App
Really blown away at what a smooth clean interface and experience the develop created in Crowsflight. There is something very grounding with being able to orient or more importantly re-orient yourself in certain directions! Beautifully executed. Would love to kick a donation over!

5/5Always wanted this app!
Thanks so much to the developers for making this app. I discovered all kinds of cool things they make. Check their website. Using this to take more abstract walks and driving without worrying as much about directions.

• NEW: Share a place to Crowsflight straight from Apple Maps or Google Maps — it becomes a destination instantly. • Rebuilt for today's screens — no more letterboxing, plays nice with the notch and home indicator. • The map now opens centered on you, oriented to your heading, and keeps your destination pin in view while it follows you. • Faster launch, and the compass is ready the instant you return to the app. • Lower battery use while navigating. • Smoother destination swiping and list gestures. • Lots of small fixes and polish throughout.
