## Simply North Reviews in United States

### ***** "Update"
Resolved
-- Yahoo Eh, 2018-07-08

### ***** "Works great on my iPhone 6s Plus"
This app is simple to use and it works great on my iPhone 6s Plus. I have not experienced any crashes or issues. I am running iOS 11, the latest version at the time of this review.

The app shows the latitude and longitude. I can choose between true north or magnetic north. 

A good utility app to have in my pocket.  No ads and no bloatware. Thank you!
-- badkitty_, 2018-06-04

### ***** "True vs. magnetic"
The feature included is the choice of true north and magnetic north The Pacific Northwest has a magnetic deviation of 22-degrees or thereabouts. Can be a critical in emergencies
-- Tom98370, 2018-06-04

### ***** "Beautiful"
5 stars! Not only is the app beautiful to look at and use.......
More importantly, it’s very accurate.

Thank you!
-- Maui Kid, 2018-06-04

### ***** "Love The App"
I&#039;ve had this app for quite some time &amp; love it. I keep a log &amp; need to record my latitude &amp; longitude. A simple touch of the latitude &amp; longitude on the app &amp; it copies it to the clipboard so I can paste it into my word processor. Unfortunately since I recently updated both my iPhone6 &amp; my iPad Air to the new IOS 10.0.2, the app just crashes when I touch the latitude &amp; longitude. Now I must write it down on paper &amp; type it into my word processor.

### *---- "Always wants access to my location."
Always wants access to my location. Why? Why isn&#039;t access while I&#039;m using the app good enough?
-- TomTh@!, 2015-06-21

### ****- "Bangkok or Europe?"
I frequently use the app and it points me in the right direction. However, when I showed it to my husband, he noticed that the GPS coordinates are way off, placing us in Europe, not Thailand. I can use other apps for GPS, but you should remove the GPS coordinates if they are not right.
-- Summitpost, 2014-10-10

### ****- "Nearly Perfect"
It&#039;s very nice and straightforward, but it would be perfect if it showed the magnetic declination (like in little numbers below the bering when the magnetic compass setting is on) and the elevation along with the lat/long. So close. :)
-- NMBob, 2014-10-08

### *---- "Doesn&#039;t work"
Doesn&#039;t work on iphone 5 running iOS7
-- Atomatica, 2014-09-07

### ****- "Best I&#039;ve Seen Yet"
Great app - good clean display, easy to use, simple UI. The only thing missing is a landscape iPad view. If it had a landscape view on rotation, I&#039;d give it five stars.
-- PoSouthernRube, 2014-05-28
