If you turn around quickly enough, it will skip the haptic indication of crossing a cardinal direction. Otherwise cool app.

by Alex the 9/4/2009

Its cool

by Bethpd the 8/16/2009

Speech component doesn't work. Just an odd buzz sound

by Mars the 8/5/2009

Not sure if it always gave right direction. Voice always worked. But just dont need it. I'd like to see a talking daytimer come out

by Igmu the 7/25/2009

Voice interupts itself. Would be better if voice plays once a second or just by touch.

by Shiva the 7/10/2009

Didnt work for me either

by breann the 5/29/2009

Doesnt work at all!

by Tianon Gravi the 5/25/2009

The compass works alright, but it hides the statusbar for who knows what reason, and it just vibrates on a new heading instead of speaking.

by nathan the 5/11/2009

It works but graphics are very plain. Maybe put some color options.

by Randy the 4/30/2009

Does what it says. Takes a hell of a shaking to calibrate. Could use *some* kind of graphics... any graphics at all besides the needle. Sounds great.
