I have the commander compass app too. Would be nice if we added a telephoto lens to the camera, and make it a compass enabled monoc. I use mine to orient where the launch will happen up on the north end of Merritt Island. You can position points of interest and make sure you're watching where it will be launching.

So far I have not had problems with the compass on the iphones or ipads.

It also lets you put points in space, so you can do look angle tests to check for trees and other obstructions blocking the view.
