Known problems and solutions
The compass may move too fast or inconsistently. While this may be a bug of GPS Status, it has been proven many times to be a calibration issue. In order to properly calibrate your compass you should hold your phone one-handed and then move and twist your hand to virtually draw an 8 (eight).

2 ★ Tried many times to calibrate using figure 8 motion but it makes no difference. North points almost due West. Update: Now that I've rated it, it is closer to spot on. Speed 0 ✔, altitude ✔, lat/long ✔. Will see if maintains to add stars.
1 ★ Uninstalled due to its Android notification it sent. I don't tolerate spam.
1 ★ This is the worst application ever. Every 30 sec to 1 min there comes a pop up to rate the app. If we don't rate it, the app closes
5 ★ How to use it coz the compass still static not appointed position
2 ★ This app pesters you to review it. If you refuse, the app closes. Unacceptable.
3 ★ Ok but the compass is useless. It rotates when the phone is tilted. It needs a level indicator to be of any use.
1 ★ In-app ads or pay to remove ads are ok, but ads in notification area is not acceptable!
4 ★ Its very nice and light app but please add an option the bookmarks that we save the location can open on Google map i am waiting for your positive reply.
5 ★ Very fast and easy. Now if it could measure distance from point A to point B. Then we would have to give it 6 stars!
