UPDATE: I just updated to Version 5.52 on my Android 11 phone.... thank you developer for fixing the frozen Marine compass issue I had in version 5.46.... the app is working great again! Here's my review of the app: I'm in real estate and use it for one of my listing photos.... really helps to differentiate my photos, and also looks like I hired a professional photographer :) Gives buyers a great visual of which way the sun rises and sets in relation to the home.

I purchased a Level 1 Full License on November 11, 2019. No, the app is asking me to spend $1.99 to purchase an update to be able to record. I'm not interested in this added update. Is there a way to refuse the update?

On an android 11 Moto G Stylus the compass appears canted to one side. I would contact the developer, but there is no contact info either here in the Play Store or within the app setting.

Just installed and it seems pretty good. Why doesn't the marine compass rotate automatically? I have to tap the compass to get it to rotate. The Rose compass rotates when I spin the phone around

If you are implying this can be depended on for outdoor navigation I seriously disagree. In fact, I would consider it dangerous. I understand the disclaimers you have about the compass being only as accurate as your phone, that is why I have compared it to other apps. When the phone is held flat it seems to get a true reading. But when I turn it at a 90° angle (upright) so that I can see the compass along with the landscape from the camera the reading is off considerably.

I paid for the full version years ago, and now it wants me to pay again.
