iArrow provides navigation where there are no roads. The app will show you the way back to your car, campsite or hotel and help you reach the nearest settlement if you get lost. This app features a built-in database of 2,000,000 localities around the world and does not require internet or cellular connection.

Unlike navigation systems that show a blank map, iArrow instantly launches and very clearly indicates the direction and distance to the destination. The app consumes little energy and saves battery power.

The app is useful for travelers, fishermen, hunters, including anyone who engages in recreation and works in the countryside. It is a reliable and easy navigation tool that fits perfectly in your hand.

With iArrow, you can quickly save the coordinates of attractions, objects and key points along your route, and share them in any convenient way (SMS, Email, Twitter, Airdrop, etc.). You will be able to enter and send coordinates in a variety of formats and import them from the clipboard.

Pros and cons of iArrow app for iPhone and iPad

iArrow app good for

Its a really interesting navigation application with many features. Works well as designed but takes a few minutes to figure out everything.
Read the manual in the about section to learn ho to use this app. It has a number of amazing features, and is one of the best of its kind. Perfect outdoor Offline Nav app. Thank you very much for the app!
Good app. Needs capability for Search to access Contacts database.
This app should keep you from ever getting lost in the woods, at sea, or even a large parking lot again. The app has a complete user guide that explains, with illustrations, the many useful features of this app. Just go to Settings and click on the "?" .
I recently purchased the app and really like it, but I have a few questions...Can someone tell me how to contact the developer? Thanks...
This app goes way beyond the basic features of a compass, showing you distances and directions to nearby places and points of interest. I like to leave it open while traveling to get a better understanding of the geography of an area!

Some bad moments

Im choosing a point in northern direction and app tells me to go south west. I open the app and it tells me Im heading northwest, I close and reopen it and suddenly Im heading northeast? Wtf is this?
When I opened the app it was fairly accurate. After trying different functions and going back to the compass the correct direction was not shown. Within the first 5 min I had it saying that west was east
this app completely replaces devices such as bushnell backtrack or d-tour, globalsat gps director, chinese mini gps and added to the unbeatable variety of ios navigation options the iArrow app completes it with a simple and effective hammer for breaking the everyday parking or holiday hiking geo limits. please no applause for my speech i am still buying a d-tour.
Please update your user interface to fully compatible with iOS7.
Store a list of favorite locations. Pick a favorite and the app will point the direction and tell you how far. This app is awesome. Great for iPads also. Just wish it supported landscape mode also. Works well on iPad Air with ios 7.1
Needs the ability to select addresses from contacts, then itll be excellent.
