The app can be used to take a bearing, set a bearing, set a bearing from the map, and triangulate. It also has features like clearance bearings to a point on an approach.
The app is based on the iPhone camera, and the image specification at full zoom compares favorably with a 7x50 pair of binoculars. The app should only be used for basic navigation assistance, and the user is responsible for the prudent use of information provided by this application and must not use it for direct navigation.
The app requires an iOS device with a back-facing camera, magnetometer, and accelerometer (GPS is optional). Battery consumption can go up considerably when the iPhone's GPS is enabled, and Compass Eye allows you to turn off location display to preserve battery life.
The app's terms of use and privacy policy can be found on the developer's website, and support is available via email.
