About Unwin Compass

This is my first actual good looking app.....ish. Made to teach myself about Android Sensors in app development only took me about an hour to make this. With the help of our team graphics designer - Josh Greenhough who made the compass design.

Shows different direction on watch. Update: @Frank Unwin- "I think other wise"? A user has a complaint about your product, and your answer is to tell them they are wrong? WOW. Your app does not work on my watch. Simple fact. Update: he replied and still failed to address the issue, just asked for money. Maybe he should spend more time fixing problems instead of attacking reviews and soliciting money as stated in the post rules. ZERO STARS!

Isn't this supposed to work on wear? I have a z3 and it works fine, instantly turns on and works when I open the app on the phone but when I open the app on the watch which is a huawei watch, it just stays stationary. Please advise if I'm doing something wrong thank you

I gave ya a 5 for your next program !!! I didn't expect it to work on my pendo pad 7 android 5.02 good luck with your projects :)

The watch moto360 is exactly 90 degrees off of a real compass. Phone is right. Seems unlikely that is a hardware limitation if it's always 90 degrees off

On my phone (MotoX 2nd Gen. / Android 5.0) it is accurate. However on my Moto360 (Android 5.0.2) it is way off. When it says north I am actually facing southeast. I have tried it several times, followed instructions on trying to increase accuracy, but will not calibrate correctly!! Why??

R70%
by R####:

Just simply doesn't work. Re: it doesn't point north. And when you rotate or move at all the needle doesn't stay in place. It moves with the phone and when I stop moving it doesn't point back towards north.

Big deviation

K70%
by K####:

The compass works in vertical and horizontal orientation (makes use of the 3 axis hardware) unlike the Hiker watchface on the LG G watch R and tracks accurately even after waving in front of magnets.

Useful tool but UI needs to upgrade.

A70%
by A####:

Looked nice but didn't't function, could see it on the phone, all the compass points were there but the pointer didn't move, tried it a few times. As the app was listed in the Android Ware section, I was expecting it to appear on my watch.

It took a while to concur with my nexus 5 but it got there in the end

V70%
by V####:

Compasses don't consistently work on the moto 360 due to an different hardware limitation. My understanding is this is not the developer's fault. 3 stars as it doesn't give the bearing in numbers on my moto 360, just the compass needles.

In phone it points to North correctly, but in my Moto360 it doesn't. Useless.

The display on my Moto 360 lacks N, S, W, E, indications.

(Le)terally the best app I've installed

K70%
by K####:

No cardinal points, just the compass "needle" by itself. Without the cardinal points, it's hard to know for sure, but assuming that the needle is supposed to point north, either the app is reading the sensors incorrectly, or the watch's calibration is way off. Tried the usual 3 axis calibration trick on the watch that works on phones and other devices, but with no luck. Android Wear 5.0.1 (LWX48T).
