I'm so disappointed it doesn't work on my pixel 4XL. Instead it completely locks it up and I have to reboot! This was my favorite go to compass. You can see this is not been updated since 2017 so it may be OS related..

This thing is always 90 to 180 degrees out of sink. Worthless.

Save big $$$ if you use see through function. Makes a great hand bearing compass. Its accurate enough for any use . All depends on quality of phone. Used for sailing for years. The gimbal is a great help. And with the new see through screen its the worlds best. If the see through screen was telephoto it would be perfect. This is as good as it gets on a phone

I didn't calibrate that... so I got a bad result... after calibrating, this app indicated the right direction in comparison of my real expensive compass... the difference is only 30-40 degrees... not bad indeed... ☺

Mostly works fine. Sometimes, it shows wrong reading. Rarely. But we cannot expect more than this from a smart phone app. Its better than most apps. I recommend to download it.
