IMPORTANT NOTE - DEVICES WITHOUT A COMPASS
From v2.18, we have made Solocator accessible for incompatible devices that do not have a compass. These devices are without a magnetometer (magnetic sensor), which means the compass and some direction features in the app won’t function as designed. However, when you change/update to a device with a compass, all directional features will be enabled to work as intended.
