Deleted the app, rebooted and reinstalled, still crashes. So it does not work on the most recent OS 18.3.2. -- J85Elm, 2025-04-07 ### **--- "Used to work great, now crashes" It used to work great but now it is crashing with latest iOS 18.4. I tried contacting dev but their website is down and they don’t take support through App Store. -- Languy99, 2025-04-02 ### ***** "Perfect" Exactly what I was looking for and it works great! Thank you ! -- snova72, 2022-04-20 ### ***** "I see Rockets!" Great to find direction to look for far off rocket launches. We live 230 miles from Wallops Island Virginia launch facility. This app help make sure we are looking in the right direction to see viewable launches -- fjbmiller, 2021-06-15 ### ***** "Best app to aim a TV antenna!!!!" Easy to use. Find the address or lat/long of the transmitter and your done! Thank you! -- wa121, 2018-11-14 ### ****- "Like it" I have used this quite a bit and really like the functionality. I asked customer support if the heading given is true heading or magnetic- haven’t heard back, software could do either by taking the current location and applying the declination. True would be better. One other thing in the way of a suggestion, you get to select between DMS & lat/long. Most EMS/Fire services use degrees and decimal minutes, to be able to select that mode would save a conversion step at least for me. Happy with it will continue using, thanks. -- BB Bray, 2018-07-20 [View all Bearing Compass reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Bearing Compass Discovered Keywords -
