Ghostieguide (App Store AUS)

- Very polished and well designed app.

- One of those rare gems that make you wonder why no one had done this before. This perfect floating compass is fascinating. Obviously a lot of thought went into its layout.. Johnny Ives would happy with the transparent black background option. Great work.

Cary Groneveldt (Beta tester)

- Holy Jesus Christ .... 

- lol I was astonished when I first tried HIGH QUALITY: the compass spun around butter smooth and with each systolic blood pump in my wrist, the compass moved *exactly* with it! lol And the level of detail is *insane*

- This is but a small taste of a masterwork 5+ years in the making. Yet this "small taste" illustrates beautifully tne ultra-exquisite detail that has gone into "WOTA: U-96" both outside, with the graphics *and* inside, with the mechanations of the spacepiece itself! Go on, zoom into the compass's spinning dials. Deeper .... Deeper .... Look at that detail! The markings depicting 10ths of a degree are razor sharp! And, again, this is only an indication of what the rest of the simulation will be. That if the compass is this insanely great, just imagine what the entirety of this desktop-quality u-boot simulation will be! GET. THIS. APP. NOW.

Helio Peixoto (App Store Brazil)

- An excellent work

- Its an app for everyone who likes WWII, specially the submarine warfare. Keep the good work!

- A Must For all U-Boat Captains

- When I set sail in my U-Boat, I always like to bring along a compass. It's handy to have for navigation as well as plotting torpedo solutions for any merchant ship that might happen along.

In the past I've always used a physical compass, be it gyroscopic or magnetic. But those depend on physical phenomena like such as the earth's magnetic field and axial rotation. In this day and age, who can depend on that? This app requires neither -- at least as far as I can tell. All you need is 178MB of space on your iOS device and a source of electricity to recharge.

Plus, at only $.99, every member of your crew, from the lowliest swabbie to your First Mate, can afford to have his own!
