Fantastic Cross Country Navigation App. I've always been very pleased using this app to navigate while hiking. Easy to add waypoints and destinations and the base map is very useful.

Everything a good compass can do but…. Years later and I still live this app. I also still wish you could orienteer like a real compass. All it needs is a direction of travel line, and an orienteering arrow (that little house to keep the needle in) and a way to turn the bezel to a specific azimuthal (without moving the map). Happy to resend screen shots of what it could look like if that helps. Original review below: It lacks a direction of travel line and an orienteering arrow. You can certainly shoot an azimuth by setting a way point, and can see direction of travel once you start moving but… It would be nice to be able line up the direction of travel, the needle, and orienteering arrow; then two finger turn the bezel to say 10°, turn your body until the needle is inside the orienteering window and walk following the direction of travel line. Should be an easy UI update. It also lacks a ruler, which I imagine is harder to implement with all the different screen sized (or need to calibrate it) and wouldn’t be easily used with a paper map (and not needed for a digital map). This is a full featured compass that makes use of all the phone sensor data and map data and nicely integrates gps, gyros, and accelerometers. it even emulates a site glass when you hold the phone 90° and “look” through the phone screen.

Too Complex with Useless Arcane Options. While I have had Spyglass for a number of years, it has never been a go to app. It is just too complex with numerous useless and cumbersome options. I have successfully used Spyglass as a clinometer in the past, but tonight it would not work. I could not get it to work with the camera tonight as it used to to get the elevation of a thunder cloud. Frustrating!

Best purchase on the App Store. I bought this app many years ago. It’s incredibly useful and fun to have. I was surprised to see there was an update available for it today. Not many developers stick by their products to this degree. Amazing! Thank you for staying with it and delivering more than you promised.

Perfect compass. A iPhone with compass must have period thanks for the update I have both wanted to support this developer this is what the iPhone compass should be just get it.

Must have if you’re in China. As you may notice iOS had disabled the it’s own compass app,and made this app a must-have tool, although the interface of PRO version could be simpler and easier for amateur like me. I wish I can copy-paste my location info (incl. GPS coordinator) to SMS and other apps.

Brilliant!. The amazing Spyglass is an extraordinary tool, tapping iPad's geolocation capabilities with the kind of precision that can save a lost hiker, navigate treacherous terrain, and aid ordinary navigational needs. It's depth of features and functions should be a benchmark for app developers everywhere. If Columbus had this, he’d be in India.

Unique & Handy. Spyglass has many unique and useful features setting it apart from other navigation tools. The use of virtual reality display, offline capability, and datum library add-on shows great potential. I am disappointed in the accuracy of the waypoint display compared to other VR apps like my star finder. Otherwise, I would use it in my search & rescue operations. I recommend that the developer build on this great concept and improve the accuracy.

Wonderful App!. We have used this App In all the national state parks that we have visited - and where I could definitively mark the spot where I found a new dinosaur foot print up in the Delicate Arch trail which was great fun. I only wish whoever made this app could make a replacement for the Intellicast computer weather site which is now gone. Thank you for this wonderful app who ever you are. My husband who went to MIT (astronautics) loves this app also.

Great. Bought this app ages ago, still use it, it hasn’t changed and is still supported.

App to have. Bit of a learning curve but not too daunting. Sweet to have this level of functionality right in your pocket. Can’t wait to see what future options and upgrades bring us. You know the developers are not done maxing out this app.

One compass to rule them All. This is a powerful app without crass commercial distractions. It is a powerful navigational tool. Valuable to hikers, hunters, rock hounders, cyclists, automobile GPS, boaters, and any others who wish to use the most comprehensive compass based navigational tool for iOS. Built in accurate calibration with celestial objects, moon, sun, and Polaris (viewed thru your device's camera) is in addition to the GPS compass toolset that other navigational apps use. Great map overlays, satellite maps, and ability to share locations to other spyglass users. You can also share to users of tomtom , wayze, google maps, and other GPS and maps systems. Very cool. As long as you have battery life, you will never be lost with this app. There is a learning curve. If you can read and comprehend on a 20th Century 7th grade level, then you can learn how to use Spyglass. Great videos and comprehensive manual. Use them to get the most out of the app. I rarely leave reviews, but this app deserves its props and unabashed accolades. Bravo to the Spyglass team. Top quality, the definitive compass and navigational tool. Buy it and be done in this genre of apps.

Can’t do without it!. My favorite app by far! Being a pilot, it gives me aviation quality navigation on every hike.

Spyglass works well. This app works very well for a variety of functions. Useful for finding your way day or night. The interface is pretty intuitive, and with some practice, it works very well.

Update waypoint management. While this is one on the most impressive of navigation apps on the market, it’s waypoint management is severely limited. Requires iTunes to get data into app. With iOS 11, iCloud, and files app... PLEASE update the waypoint management and import function and utilize these new modern methods. Many folks don’t even use iTunes anymore.

Godsend for my son. My 18yo son is visually impaired. This app helps him get around in new places, such as camping and mission trips. He’s headed to college in the fall and is already inputting locations to help him navigate campus. Thank you for improving his quality of life.

Way points seem to disappear after updates?. All of the way points I had saved are no longer there. Makes it difficult to get back to my back country hunting spots.

3 Stars, Here’s why:. No “map only” function. Sometimes I just want to view the map without the compass blocking my view, and also have the altitude/coordinates track that marker live. Which brings me to problem 2, a huge one: you better be on location to mark a waypoint, otherwise this compass has no idea what the elevation is. Leaving you to completely guess how much of a climb something is. This isn’t a replacement for proper orienteering, but even on my day hikes I’d like to know if a certain planned route is doable on app, since it’s more than capable of accessing the elevation data. This is a glaring omission by the developer(s), who have otherwise done an excellent job. Leading to Point 3: elevation difference on target marker is a forgotten feature as well, apparently. Why I would only want to know straight line distance is beyond me. That’s practically useless on its own in the mountains. So I’m 700’ off target but have a 1000’ elevation difference (55°grade). PRETTY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. Please fix these inconveniences and I’ll update the review with to reflect this excellent utility.

Was good. This was a good app. I even paid for the full version. Then one day I launched the app and was met with “your Subscription Has Expired.” Basically saying, you paid the price we ask for our app, but now we want more money from you. How about NO! I will bought a hand held compass. Buy once and done. Just like the original agreement I had with this developer. I hate Subscriptions for apps, especially ones I already paid for.

Consistently does it’s job. This consistently allows me to take photos with location, direction, and time stamps. It is very useful for journaling in the field!

Elite Quality App. This is one of those rare apps that you come across every so often that truly demonstrates the power of what an application on a smart phone can do. I personally have only come across a handful of apps that are what I consider "elite". This App works flawlessly. The design is very slick and minimal which I equate to quality. I could honestly see this application being something that you would see on a screen in the cockpit of a jet aircraft. After using this app for only a short time, it becomes obvious that the creator of this app has the Swift/Objective-C programming language mastered. I honestly wish that the author of this app would create a Celeste you'll start tracking app as I know it would be five stars as well. By this up with confidence if you are looking for a top-tier application that turns your smart phone into a precision measuring instrument.

Fascinating app.. This is unique so far as I know. It is my go-to for latitude and longitude. Also elevation. There are lots more levels that I have not learned to use. I wish the documentation were more extensive.

Outstanding Product. Well thought out and designed. Easy to use with training assistance. Have used it many times in remote applications. Very accurate. Easily worth its minimal fee.

Very disappointed, not recommended at all!. I truly feel is a ripoff too unless it syncs up with Google Maps, that would surprise me and if the compass could be set up as a screensaver or wallpaper for the background. Until then this is a total rip off and I fully regret it! Thought it was something truly impressive and extraordinary. My bad!! 😞

Spyglass App. Started playing with map and compass again after several years. Spyglass provide great info for current location and being able to take a screenshot is super fun. Way good. YoMikeB

Quality app for any outdoors person.. This is one those apps that I bought early on in my iPhone usage and have never regretted my purchase. It is a very versatile and useful tool for any type of orienteering.

Professional Navigation Level. This is "the real thing" in terms of professional navigation. I highly encourage people to buy the Spyglass app bundle!! This is a superior app. Thank you devs.

Now for ..... Great work. The compass gets in the way sometimes. It would be nice to turn it off sometimes. The only other feature I would like to see is the ability to enter a saved point and specify another saved point as a destination and it give a distance. At present I have to enter my saved points into another app to obtain a distance, big pain. This is the only reason I cut a star.

Very good app. This up one of the few apps that last very long time! it’s very good app are use it for hiking, waypoints, reading altitude.

Good documentation. As apps do more and more, and become increasingly complex, it’s essential to have some sort of user guide if you’re to use all the capabilities. Spyglass does, and has done so for years. I appreciate that. In addition, the Spyglass developers keep the app up to date, and add *real* improvements periodically, not just pretty pictures that take up space but don’t improve functionality. I appreciate that as well. There’s a small but steep learning curve to use this app. But you’ll quickly see what it’s all about, and you’ll start nodding your head and smiling, as I did when I first used it.

Not holding saved location. I just downloaded this app for remote area use in a very vast forest hunting area, but first I decided to test this on my property because getting lost and not able to find your vehicle is a very scary feeling!!! I put up a post holding it up in the air with a concrete block, I add the current location as taught by the videos, I walked 200 yards away, the app showed the post that it was on the ground in front of me on the ground when the post was 200 yards behind me. At first I thought I did something wrong, I tried it again marking the post area from the ground or to the tip of the post in the air. Still same result, I tried a different target which was my personal vehicle, this time I saw the marker to my truck literally glitch slowly moving to the east. I thought this app would help me get to my vehicle i mean it said off road, wilderness, but I guess they DIDNT MEAN OFFLINE! I was shocked that this app wasn’t dont what I thought it would. I’d like a developer to contact me, in the meantime I’ll be buying a map a REAL ALUMINUM COMPASS, and ranger beads!

Worth the price. The free app is so good that I bought Spyglass because the developer deserves to get paid for the tremendous work put into this application.

This is the one. The ONLY thing that’s a drawback about this app is that if you’re truly out in the middle of nowhere without internet service, the map overlay won’t work. But that is not Spyglass’ fault, and everything else here is *superb*. This is a professional-grade compass, and then some. Sextant, inclinometer, rangefinder, and other goodies. Oh, and the maps issue? You can download offline ones if you plan ahead. Highly recommended.

Spyglass is amazing. We use Spyglass to keep track of where things are and it's amazingly accurate. Used it for years snd would not trade it for the world!

Quit your unsolicited ad prompting, dod gamnit!!!!!. I am personally offended by intrusive advertisements! This would’ve been a five star app. Unfortunately, like way too many other venues, they seem to think that aggressive intrusive advertisements are the same as having someone stick their finger down your throat! Because I get really pizzed when I’m trying to look down on this app real quick at a stoplight and this full-page dam ad covers the face of the app until you shut it manually! And it doesn’t do it just once it is artificial stupidity as opposed to artificial intelligence! I don’t know maybe these ad developers are on crack or some thing.

LOVE IT!. Absolutely invaluable. An absolute must have for military. Fantastic for hunters as well. I am an officer in the National Guard and I use this app constantly in the field. Absolutely fantastic!

Photos not working. I used to be able to take a photo of something with the data overlay on the photo. I am now unable to do that. All I can do is take a photo of the satellite view of my location.

Phenomenal UI. Such an interesting and helpful source of information on long drives. However, I have one suggestion: in car mode, using trajectory for bearing is essential. I hope the developers will incorporate a similar function for horizon calibration. Since there is no reliable mount that will eliminate shifts in a phones vertical movement, a user can never be confident in the accuracy of the horizon calibration. I imagine a calculation with the shift in elevation could provide adequate data. I would prefer reliability and consistency over precision with this feature while enabled. Thanks for reading!!

Pretty Great but…. I’m having a lot of fun and getting plenty of use from this app but I’m wondering about a couple of things which annoy me to the point that I can’t give it five stars. When adding a new destination via a map location, is there a way to also have the correct elevation of that specific location included? When I add a location, the correct GPS coordinates are there but I believe it is using my current elevation and not the elevation of that desired location. Also, I read the manual and it mentions a Car Mode but I do not see that option in settings. Has it been removed? Is there an alternative? It appears the manual is a bit outdated. I’m still trying to learn the full Protektorat of this app. Other than what I mentioned above, I’m loving it!

Spyglass. I am very happy with this app and have used it for years. I am a very basic user so it has way more than I need. Regardless, I’m able to figure out the settings that I need. I especially appreciate the support on an ongoing basis that they have provided for this app. Over the years they keep updating it and making it better. Thank you!

The best navigation system on the App Store. This is well worth your money. I haven’t been able to find anything that is even close to SpyGlass on the App Store or on Google play Store. Hands down the absolute best full featured GPS system with much, much more than you can expect.

Free app does a lot.. The only thing I would like is a better way to see all of your way points.

Does not work in iOS 14. Until now this app was fantastic. Now, the compas does not work at all. No change in settings. Edit: The app Is working again. Developer responded quickly. Thank you!

What happened to the Open Street maps?. Back to normal with OSM maps after an app deletion, reinstallation. It may have been a map caching issue. Funny thing is, I had only been using OSM maps. Once the app was updated to the newest version, the USGS Topo maps were there and enabled. Toggling to OSM maps numerous times, restarting the devices did not clear the issue. This was on two different devices…both devices required the app deletion, reinstallation to get them back to normal. App rating changed back to 5 stars. The “Open Street maps” that I used exclusively are now gone and are now instead USGS topo maps…what happened to the OSM @ Happymagenta maps??? Sorry guys but I dock you three stars for removing a great map option with an “update”.

It could use updating for iPhone XR. The display notch in IPhone XR and others cuts off the top line displays of coordinates. Otherwise it a perfect app.

Amazing. I love this app! Whether I’m in the Northern Territories of Canada flying in a float plane and have more information on my phone with this app than the pilot did on his instrument panel, or being on a golf course and arguing about if a green is higher or lower than the fairway this app shows up and does it! The combination and features is outstanding and one of my favorite apps on my phone.

Fun on the Train. I use this app on the Amtrak Acela. It’s great. I just leave it open. Shows the speed and the map of the areas, towns and cities is great!

iPhone XR issue. The version 3.9.9 of Spyglass does not allow one to read both the north and west GPS coordinates at the same time. Due to the XR’s screen configuration, either the north or west GOS coordinates are blocked from view. Otherwise, it’s a nice GPS app with a lot of uses.

Excellent. Spyglass provides more information than I expected. An excellent program.

Great tool. Calibration using visual land marks, satellite aerial map and sun make this a very accurate tool. Accuracy is there if you know how to set it up. Metal is no longer an issue when finding an azimuth. Remote tree and building heights is another favorite use of this powerful tool. Take the time to learn this app. Still using frequently and am really impressed. One improvement would be an option for large text for Bering. Or a separate azimuth mode with larger bearing text. Update: Years later I still use this app. In fact, it’s only app I pay money for. It is worth it to me. I install communications equipment, and when I have to set specific directional antenna path, I use this tool where I can literally put my phone on the back of the antenna and hit the target, after a local calibration. It works so good.

Great for Sailing Navigation. An exceptionally useful App to support navigation while sailing. The Gyrocompass is a great option for checking the accuracy of any installed magnetic compasses. Using an iPad mini mounted on a bulkhead the app provides a great touch screen navigation tool using the maps display option for coastal passage making. The current speed and bearing displays are large enough to monitor accurate course keeping. The celestial object default indicators for sun, moon and Polaris combined with the sextant functions are an easy to use bonus. Great value for a relatively small outlay!

Great program. Great program, does everything I need it to do

Excellent app. I wanted an app that overlays current position over the google satellite photo. This is important for 4WD tracks that don't show on maps. You can spend $180 and still get a lousy map without the tracks. This is a gem, it's the Google photo, so all the tracks are fully visible... Excellent app, excellent....

Excellent. Very impressed with the capabilities of this one. Even useful for getting a fix on astronomical events.

Great app. One of the best apps I ever bought regarding functionality, price, stability and documentation. Congratulations, good job!

Wozza1958. What a great and useful app! Works well and its a lot of fun as well as being practical.

Great App, highly recommended. This is a brilliant app. Use it extensively, great through Central Oz and anywhere else I've used it. Well worth having.

Winner. Sick app, delivers much more than expected. As said, better support would be appreciated. 5 stars though (Y)

Incomplete. Needs ability to add remote waypoints via maps or google earth... Otherwise; Brilliant.

Never provides a correct direction direction. iphone 11. The iPhone compass will point South not North. It’s a pain but consistently 180deg out. Spyglass can be anything from 20-90deg out.

very interesting. Very nice and interesting gadget. Very useful too for determining where to go without being distracted. Well worth having.

Brilliant. To have all this capability in a phone app is just amazing. Well worth spending the time to learn all the features

Not intuitive. I've found it too unintuitive and complicated to be really useful. I've read the manual and that isn't much help - it just reinforces the confusion. I'm sure it's very clever but I wouldn't buy it unless you are already familiar with all the instruments. The Polar Star isn't that helpful in the Southern Hemisphere. Should be a crux alternative.

Mr. I have to agree with jarjah on this one. Fantastic app but pretty redundant without updated maps. Especially in an up and coming place like Darwin Australia. Lotta places here that aren't on the map. Not really good enough yet.

Help. The camera needs a switch you have keep tapping to many times How do use the stars /star? I need a help line before I bin it Dissatisfied Mkie

Excellent Mapping. I found this app to be very useful to map and relocate land subdivision points. Could be a bit more use friendly with saving to Dropbox or other iCloud backups.

Love it off line functionality. Great nab app that works off line

Great App. Highly recommend

Great app. Really good, accurate and works wherever you go. I was in the Antartica and the app worked as well as the ship tools.

Excellent. I used to like this app, but after the recent update I absolutely love it! Heaps of new functionality added (and refined). A polished and incredibly detailed tool. I does so much, I don't know of another app that could rival it's versatility. I only wish I got to use it more.

Totally cool app. This app is really cool just wish that the map it uses was a bit more up to date but yes have to give a 4 star 5+ if they update that map :-)

Gardeners friend. Just the handiest app gadget I own. If you are a gardener/horti-type - get one!

Rangefinder for archery. I purchased this app to estimate target range and angle for field archery. After some time reading the user guide to work out how to use that feature, I discovered that you need to know the size of the target for the calculation to be correct. Fortunately targets are a standard size, so this is possible. Once I get a chance to measure them, I intend to test the accuracy at my club! This is a very cool app with many features to show off.

Practical and well designed. Very practical way to help you get around in unfamiliar places. Interface design is also excellent.

You have to know yer stuff!. As an international airline pilot, I am fascinated with this app and am OK with most of the technical jargon ....... but to the layperson you will probably struggle with it a bit, and no, I am not bignoting myself, just an observation. I doubt the zoom is really 5X and at that setting everything is very grainy but this may be more due the camera on my iPad2 than the app itself! So what use is it? Probably none as the are much better GPS apps out there but if you like this sort of thing to play around with, go get it! There is plenty to keep you interested!

Spyglass. Awesome amount of easy to follow info

Excellent !. This is a very useful tool for navigation

Handy little app. Very useful for finding your way around

Nice app. Can't say I'm using it to its full potential yet, but it seems to be doing all the right things

Awesome app!. Totally worth it for the price, very useful when out and about

Mr. Fantastic App, use it to find my way around my massive mansion!!!

Rather unimpressive.. I expected more from this app. The compass works ok but no better than the free version and the colour control is just daft. The maps are not saved, so the app is useless for navigation when beyond wifi range, which is where something like this would be of most value

Spyglass is Great.. This is one of my most used Apps. Compass, Level, Sun/Moon Locator are the functions I use most. Plus it looks extremely cool and is a great way to show off your iPhone to your buddies. Solid.

Spyglass compass. Does not hold position. Cannot reliably track target bearing and distance. Loaded onto iPhone 13.

Awesome App. Although I am not an international airline pilot, I can still appreciate this app without struggling. I am not big noting myself either.

Fun. Just a random fun thing to have on your phone. (mainly just to show off)

Fantastic app!. Love this app. I use it to find all my fishing locations. Keep up the good work! :)

Brilliant app. Excellent for giving elevations and distances in many different applications

Great stuff.. An excellent app. I had it years ago on the iPhone... Utilizing the map interface and pre-set waypoints allowed me to navigate through dense undergrowth and deep valleys in a National Park North of Sydney, Australia without adhering to trails. Just going headlong into the scrub, frequently checking my bearing, and intermittently referring to the maps allowed me to pop out on tracks and trails with pin-point accuracy.

great application. I am a professional aviator/instructor and can recommend this application to any navigation enthusiast for lots of fun as well as serious hobby

Great little app with huge features. G'day to all, I have had this app for a few weeks now and it is like an onion, I just keep finding great way to use the app. If you like map and the like you will love this app. Richard

Awsome. Well worth it. Does everything it says it does.

Keep Clear. Verry dissappointed, the concept is amazing but the compass aftera short duration stopped working altogether. Itried unloading and reloading the app and now just does not work at all. As for the map side of things, the app wont let me put the loacator over half the world. In a (box shape) it takes in a slight part of the eastern sea board of the US as far north as the southern tip of Greenland and south as cape horn tracking east to in line with the middle of the Indian ocean up to a central point in Russia. As for the Star/Sun tracking locator, this side of things just did not work at all. As i said, great concept but way too many glitches or what I should say...... That it just does not work! To my fellow app users, Stay clear untill it is sorted!!!!!!

Useful App. Lots of great features! Even works as a GPS out of range. Looking forward to fully utilizing this nav tool.

Spyglass. Basically liked it. Useful to have a compass and to know the location. Bit disappointed that the big arrow is not there when you are out of wi-fi.

A very cool app! when it works.... Fantastic idea and extremely useful for the ones who know about navigation. The only problem is that sometimes the map function does not work. The rest is really fine.

Fantastic App. Easy to use and great accuracy. Can even use it to find my car in a large carparks!

Disappointed. Upgraded from compass commander to get the new features which are good. BUT I can’t transfer my waypoints into Spyglass as IOS Catalina does not have iTunes and Spyglass cannot find the file that was saved there in the equivalent place.

Really useful app. Could the “tiny” sun and moon symbols be larger (ie readable), and could the app use OSM maps offline that are already on the phone.

Feedback. Screen freezes when attempting to open setting, etcetera, after last update.

Has it all plus. I use it for sailing, construction, you name it. I am glad I found this app before I wasted money on others. The rangfinder is fantastic and quick.

Spyglass does what the author says.. It works fine. It's actually pretty straightforward, and the software manual is helpful and clear. All this is about as good as it gets in iOS land, don't you think?

Navigations final solution.. The absolute best Apple App Store purchase I’ve ever made.

Does not seem accurate. My GPS in my 3GS is accurate. My compass is also accurate. But unlike the screen shots shown in this app's description, objects like the moon and sun do not appear as shown ... they are 20 to 40 degrees off. Waypoints that I create do not seem to account for altitude. I created one at work. When I went home (home is uphill from work) my work place was shown to be higher than my home. Disappointing. Wish they had a free version of Spyglass I could have tried before purchasing. Would have saved me a few bucks.

Magnificent. I'll be busy ... Wicked App!!

Love this APP!!!. Awesome anytime u need to track your way back. Very usefull and fun tool.

Good app. Functions as advertised... Will keep trying products from this company

Amazing, fun, and Accurate. Get the full app, read the manual and thoroughly enjoy this amazing navigational app!

Useful and Accurate. Very nice application. Great range of effective features. Requires the user manual available from the developer's website to make full use of the application.

Spyglass. I love it! It fires my imagination...I am planning some off roading in Montana and Alberta with it. Very helpful stuff.

Great App. Buy this app, it is awesome!!!

Amazing navigation tool. This is all you need. Still trying to figure certain parts out. They need a more helpful PDF help&faq file. Knowing how to properly use each feature would be nice.

Awesome. This is a great tool to have. Love all the features

SpyGlass. Very cool and great for daytime astronomy

Not useful for real reality.... The app is inaccurate because the compass built into the iPhone 5 is inaccurate. One minute it shows the sun 15 degrees to the right of its actual position, the next minute it's 10 degrees too far to the left. Same thing with bearings and waypoints. This being tested far from magnetic interference. Also the battery lasted less than an hour on a full charge and the phone got very hot since all of the sensors were activated at once. This would not be useful for anything beyond taking the dog for a walk. I will stick to my real compass/map. They show more information, more accurately, and in a shorter period of time than any cell phone ever will. This app could potentially send you off in the wrong direction and put you in a life threatening situation.

Lastupdate2015??. I love this app- had it for years! PLEASE update it to the current higher resolutions & ios & if you can, *More colors, or green glow in the dark effects or something would rock😉👍 It is so disappointing when our favourite apps are abandoned by their developers..

Brian. Awesome App. Really cool

Great app. Highly recommended, more features than you can imagine... It does take a bit of time to fully grasp.

Pavel is a god. These series of applications are worth buying, every single one. This app specifically has so many features it's hard to even go through them in one sitting. There is basically no point in getting any other 3GS locator. This one does it all, with every piece of wonderful information the 3GS can provide. Not a pointless spartan list of bad design that requires endless page flipping: there's plenty of screen real estate on the iPhone and this app uses it. Beautiful: well done Pavel.

Excellent. Très complet, presque trop complet même.

cool App!. Love it! fun

Damn Cool. I've bought a few AR apps now and this is my favourite one so far.

Simply the best. Need I say more.....1000$ utility for a couple dollars.....mmmmm, a real no brainer.....buy it. The arties(army artilery)pay 10 grand for half of what this does, buy it......dude is a genius and he doesn't even know it......Pavel, you can be selling this to LM or any other Artie makers......our program is a nasty beast, thank u eternally......some work on the range and such, will take this to a whole new audience......like the Army coders.

Nice app. Great app with nice features. The see through effect makes it a great compass for orienteering.

No UTM coordinates. Not suitable for UTM requirements. Difficult set up. Not intuitive. Good compass.

Outstanding.. Feel like a pilot without leaving the ground.

Best app ever. Do the job and more.... ;)

Bad orientation. This app doesn't show at all the right orientation of waypoints or stars or planets. It's at least 30 degrees off the right location. I regret buying this. My feedback is that it only looks cool to see those numbers floating around but the actual orientation of objects and the angles don't work as intended.

Spyglass. Junk

Review. Spyglass is a good tool to teach you horizon flying positions and more

Well done, but has calibration issue. For those looking for a sophisticated compass/direction/bearing app, this is absolutely fantastic. For those more typical users who still haven't used their devices built-in map app to guide them along roads or sidewalks showing their movement and the direction they are facing live on the satellite image view, I'd say this more advanced but also very limited/specific compass app would be of no use. Note that this is not a full/typical navigation app as most people think of them (and it is not meant to be, so that is not a drawback), it will store locations, but only use them for showing straight line bearing/direction/distance from your current point. It is basically an advanced compass, it has amazing features and capabilities, making it probably the ultimate compass available. It also includes a few additional compass/angle/elevation related tools. As stated in the app description, it will store the location of your parking spot or hotel, but it will not guide you there (unless you can walk/drive there in one straight line through buildings, etc), and it will not track movement - it is an advanced compass, you will have to manually navigate using the map. If an advanced compass is what you want, this is it - with one issue - calibration is extremely difficult to do. I don't mean calibration of the compass/direction, that works great (and in most cases automatically), I mean horizon and elevation, which mostly affect the HUD, the main feature (as I see it) of this app. If you don't care about those aspects, this is not an issue. To fully calibrate, you have to calibrate six orientations, each time manually positioning your device on two axis at the same time to references you find/create (e.g. horizon level side-to-side and device also perfectly vertical) then pushing the button. It works, but is a real nightmare and a great deal of work to do. I found my camera is oriented perfectly within the case of my devices (iPhone, iPad), but orientation sensors were a bit off (around 5 degrees) on both devices, so it did need calibrating. It would be far better if the app could be calibrated like the many 'bubble level' apps, no external references needed, and super simple to do, and actually far more accurate as well. A quick way to check if calibration is out in one orientation (my way to check, not the authors): lay device flat on a table, and tilt it around very slightly, the angle reading should hit and max at -90 degrees, if not, you're out. Great app (but please redo/improve the calibration method)!

Excellent. Great app. Been using it lots.

Spyglass. The YouTube videos are vague but I'm sure this is worth every penny once you figure out how to use it I messed around with it seems ok

Good augment reality app. Not bad for the price. A little gimmicky but solid.

Awesome!. I've been looking for an app that does well offline for travel and navigating in developing countries with no data, or where roaming makes data very expensive. I can bookmark a location and find my way back, see which direction and how far, and bookmark locations from a map when I am online or from raw coordinates. This was very useful on my last 2 trips, because I did get lost, and easily found my way. Also, you can keep cabbies honest with this app!

Northern BC Oil & Gas. Very usefull

Fantastic app. But why do all my documenting pics show their location in France when they are taken in Ontario, Canada?

Very cool. Good work.. Good woork

Very useful!. Found this app very useful and use it often at work. On collision scenes it is quick to open app and take screen shot to record all the relevant information I need from coordinates, orientation and elevation. Worked good on vacation too to plot hotel and places to visit. Agree with other review to be able to add captions to pics

Complicated. Before purchasing I would advise going to their website and studing the manual. I suspect this is an amazing app but is going to take a lot of patience to find out. And the buttons are far too small.

Pretty good but. Maybe I’m a little older, maybe I’m travelling in a bouncy 4x4 - it would be nice to have an option to make the fonts a little bigger. On everything. Status, menus …

Apple Watch Please. I live in a reasonably remote area, Fort Saint John, BC, Canada. What remote users NEED is an offline solution for our smartphones and now Watches. I’d easily spend $50 for an offline Apple Watch Series 3 solution, offline. It’s a great app and fun to use when you’re a passenger on a plane too. Great app, keep improving it. Very useful, but offline is very important as well, please.

Not accurate. Closing and reopening the app doesn’t give the north at the place from one time to the other. Less accurate then Apple Compass!

Good job.. Needs more instruction on how to use it. Very cool app. I keep finding new ways to use it.

Great App. A really good multifaceted app that seems to be quite accurate. Easy interface but needs to be brighter for sunny day use. Well worth the money.

Spyglass. Très bon compta très précis et de bons outils A+++++

Universal App. Everybody will benefit from this app. It helps you understand your position relative to points around you and the stars! Will also increase your IQ :P

Excellent.. Very good.

Awesome App. I used it up north (Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord). Very accurate and easy to use.

Fabulous. Once in a while an app shows up that really amazes me. The first was Shazam and Spyglass has the same effect on me. I recommend this to any sailor or budding astronomer. Thanks for the cool tool!

Great app. I love the features and that it even works with airplane mode

Great app when your hunting. This app is perfect for me during hunting season and as a met firefighter it’s great to have when you need a medavac landing site

Great app. I found using this not in military and civilian life has been instrumental to Mission success love this app keep it coming

This App is Amazing. This App is One of the Best out there

Outstanding app. So much info at ones finger tips, a pleasure to use

What happened. First got this compass was awesome, but now for some reason it stopped working, won’t rotate, just like a real one that’s old and beat up. I payed for this one too.

The Best APP. An all-in-one navigational APP. Excellent practical features. Good value for money.

The best. One of the most useful devices I’ve use on the phone thanks

Amazing App. It’s it’s hard to imagine that my iPhone can do everything is that provides

Spyglass true North fail. True North and magnetic North were the same. Tried several things to get it to change over to no avail. Other aspects seem to be fine but true North was why I bought the app.

good. never had to use it but I know it'll be great when I do

Great App. This is one of the few apps that immediately gives your position in decimal degrees This is a super feature for 1st responders, esp. wild land fire fighters.

Roland Salerno The Diver Underwater Maintenance, LLC. I had this App for so many years it always works and it’s an invaluable tool...🔵🐠🔵

The map overlay is fantastic.. A Very clever we sail in west Michigan it is very handy when going into new ports to help find slips and food etc. a full 5 stars.

Outstanding. If I was at war, lost in the middle a forgotten battlefield, I would use this app to save my life and get me home. New Mexico

Useful. Handy app to have. So useful it is hard to know where to start. If you have a scout troop this is what you need

Great App. I like having the camera to mark coordinates.

Great tool. This is very handy and furnishes great data!

4X4. This app is a cool way to glance over and see info you want to know.

Don’t buy. Worked ok then crashed. No way to change map styles as advertised.

Has it’s limits. Perhaps it’s the limits of the iPhone, but trying to find property marker pins it consistently had me going in circles within 30’ of the correct spot. Even when I found the pin and hovered above it, it told me my spot was 10’ to the west, then 16’ to the northwest, then 13’ to the southeast, etc.

Great compass plus. This is a great compass, is there a watch version coming? I hope so!

Perfect Companion. For either the Pro or the Novice this app is indispensable. Its flexibility and multiuse options make it indispensable for the nature buff as well as the casual occasional observer. It seems to be accurate and repeatable.

Awesome navigation tool!. Great app when off the map.

Best one navigation. Rating 5 star

Great Multi Use App. I have used this app for many years for Photography and hiking. It’s the greatest!

Awesome. Excellent app. Really like the sextant function. Detailed instruction manual. Functions well on my 5s. Recommending to all my friends.

This app is fantastic!. This app rocks if you learn how to use it you will never be lost.

This is spot on. Altimeter is spot on also

Nice app. Could do more. Could add date and time to data for each waypoint. Could easily add a mode to record points per time elapsed--e.g. 1, 5, ... minutes.

Love it.. The product is great and continues to improve over time. Great job.

Poor instructions.. Instructions for use or confusing. It is hard to understand the instructors English.

Can’t get any help. Had to get a new phone number and now I guess I have to pay again for the upgrade I have been emailing support and they won’t answer me so I guess this is worth 1 star. Only because I can’t get the help I need. Sad because I really liked this app.

Still the one. The best Apps for Planetarium, thanks.

Love this app. I have had this app for a long time and love to show it to people!

Captain. As a retired airline, I certainly enjoy the real-time information..

Great tool. A must have app for the outdoors enthusiast

Mission accomplished. This is my favorite land navigational apps !

Bread crumbs. Really like it but wish it would track your routes ie bread crumbs so can reroute back again

Destination “Beep”. Everything works fine, except... no “beep” when approaching/arriving Target Destination. Please fix.

Great for metal detecting. I love the app for marking my favorite spots and logging of any finds.

Found issues. I have been using this app for long and I love this app. But since a month ago, I am getting following issue; 1. Speed meter is not working. 2. Own position is not showing accurately. Hope these issues will be fixed shortly. Thank you

ziggy. That’s perfect update! I didn’t use for wild! Opened on the Gvadelupe Pik ! Flat works perfectly

Very capable. This app can do so much -- much more than I know how to do but am learning. Wonderful and powerful app.

Great app. The altitude reading Is very good for navigation using a contour map.

Great app. Had this gor years. Still great.

One of the best apps. Great app for navigating in any setting. I wish my GPS was set up like this.

Spyglass. Very useful application. Great for locating mountain praks and such like.

Great App. Outstanding VR app! This is the best out there…period!

Get used to it!. Takes a long time to get used to it. But it’s worth it!
