4.3 out of 5
CrowdMag is useless.

It has a bug with my iPhone7+, iOS 12.1.4
Its not grabbing my gps data from phone.
It has no info/help tab.
Why use a Mag model at all?? If we are going to provide mag heading, dip and uT, app could compute/derive nPole location from all our inputs. App could then plot it in quazi real time, send alerts etc.
An almost good app but...

1.7.5 cannot take location from at least some iPhones

iPhone 5s 32GB iOS 12.1.4 App never acquires location data from the phone and therefore never records data. I reported this to NOAA just last week. It would be interesting to hear from people using newer, more capable iPhones, although no mention is made of any limitations on older phones.

Makes a very nice compass app though.

Terrible app

This is king Jack and it doas not do what it was supposed it was glitchy and not correct no one should use CrowdMag it’s terrible

No location

iPhone XS Max —- doesn’t grab GPS location. I emailed back and forth with support. Known bug. Fix for 5 stars.

Needs a slight facelift

I’m always appreciative of being given opportunities to contribute to wards citizen science, I just wish they’d give the UI on CrowdMag an update. It looks best on an iPhone 4 screen. There’s so much more potential with an interface update.

Seems cool....but setting options need work

I am unable to enable background recording because my location data isn’t set to “Always” but I don’t have an “Always” option for CrowdMag in setting. Only Never and While Using App.

Drains Battery

I really want to contribute geomagnetic data to this app, but since installing CrowdMag my batterry drains in half the time. Sadly, I have to uninstall.

Excellent Info

I travel the world for a living. Knowing the correct Mag Variation has come in handy. The latest version includes an excellent compass which gives both True and Magnetic North. It is nice to be able to contribute information for this program. I find that it doesn't effect my battery usage that much.

I’m dumb but I’m sure it’s useful🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t understand it but it seems really cool and useful for researchers and Chat gpt actually recommended it to me. This is now gonna be my compass app.

Essential!

I am a photographer and I use CrowdMag to find the magnetic declination of my current location so that I can correct my compass readings to true north to match with the true north bearings given in some landscape photography planning apps.

Useful

I love CrowdMag. I'm out in the field a lot and CrowdMag allows for quick calibration of my compasses.

Citizen Science

Great use of millions of mobile sensors!

Features

Some of the other features of CrowdMag include creating your own magtivities, customizing recording frequency and location accuracy, exporting your data via email or Google Drive, and seeing generalized crowdsourced magnetic data from other users.

If you're going for a walk, run, or other outdoor activities, you can use CrowdMag to measure the magnetic data along your path and save it as a "magtivity." And, if you get a new phone, don't worry! You can export a backup of your CrowdMag data and save it on your computer.

CrowdMag also has a magnetic calculator that provides magvar (declination), the magnetic field's dip angle, total magnetic field, and other magnetic field components based on the latest World Magnetic Model (WMM2020).

Introducing CrowdMag's newest feature: Flight Mode, which lets you contribute to scientific research by measuring the magnetic field as you fly around the world.

You can use CrowdMag for measuring magnetic data during outdoor activities, while flying, or to conduct your own experiments.
