Find North is a completely free, ad-free Apple Watch game that challenges your directional skills. Each day, you’ll be randomly prompted to guess North’s direction.

✅ Get it right to build your streak.
❌ Get it wrong to see how many degrees off you were.

I’ve had an absolute blast building this app over the past year! At less than 2MB, it’s a fun and educational companion to test your bearings.
Give it a try and see how well you know your sense of direction!

Sounds nifty! Always good to see independent individual developers creating new, clever apps for the watch.

Those in the mid-West, at least certain cities, and Washington, D.C., will have an advantage with their North-South, East-West street grids! 😁

I thought of an interesting wrinkle for a novel feature. For those out at night, a pop-up mini-sky chart showing where the Big Dipper and Polaris are. It'd be a hint, game cheat, learn a constellation, and find your bearings in the dark — all rolled into one!

Of course, it won't work that well for those in really major cities that have massive light pollution and big buildings blocking people's views of the night sky!
 
I´ve tried your app on my Ultra 2 , but starting at the second day the checkmark didn´t react at all.
So I´m stuck with the result of the first day. :(

Thank you for letting me know! It possible that on the second day your notification hadn't prompted yet. I've updated this so notifications are more consistent and so that when you are waiting for next notification, the checkmark button acts differently to let you know. Are you able to update or redownload?
