Bought it,wish I could see it,only works on new iPhone not itouch. Plez make an itouch version. Thanks! Looking forward to playing with it when I get a new iPhone.
I ran across this app while thinking of other mapping apps and really am happy I stumbled on to it. I love the design And features and hope to see it progress even further. Thanks for developing a great app.

Some bad moments

Looking for a compass. This one is off by an altitude of 30 meters. No compass heading.
Compass works fine, but the barometer doesnt function on my iPhone 6. Tried reinstalling and iPhone power cycle with no joy. Uninstalled it. Will try a different app. Lost a $1 in the Apple Apps casino.
this version crashes immediately upon startup; it cannot be used!
Very elegant and with all the relevant information to explore the world!
A very simple yet useful (and beautiful) app Ive tried other compass apps and this is the one I use the most.
Do you REALLY need ALWAYS on setting for location services? That is just potential for battery drain. You should change to ONLY while using app. Not constant polling. No iPad version.
