My compass doesn't work due to the magnets? Why was it advertised as being compatible with the 5S which comes with the compass app?

It work with my Apple 5. Obviously, to operate the phone, you've to pull back the cover. I have no issues!

I see you are right. Guess need to remove case for compass to work right. I had not used compass.

I am sorry about the confusion. By definition, any magnet in close proximity to a standard compass will cause the bearing readings to be off. The only solution is to remove the phone from the case when taking exact compass readings.

I am pretty sure it won't work for the 5s because I bought it for the Ipad Mini and it could not adjust small enough to secure it.

I have the 5s and the fingerprint scanner works just fine. Yes, the case overlaps the home button by a tiny bit but it does not restrict use of the button or fingerprint scanner for me.

I use GPS all the time and haven't noticed any difference. When mounted, the magnet is dead center on the back of my phone. Maybe there aren't any GPS receivers right there. As I mentioned in another post, the magnet isn't quite strong enough to hold the metal plate through a thin otter box. Maybe that is the reason the GPS isn't being affected.

Yes. Same deal for me. Didn't work with 5s until ios 7 upgrade. Still does with ios 8.

Adam, can you describe how much of a "bow" you think you have in the plate? Mine has a very slight curve, but my iPhone 5S fits and is held pretty tight. If you place a metal ruler across it and measure the mid point and have more than 1/8-1/4" between the ruler and the plate. Send it back and get a new one.

This compass does not work period. Does not calibrate, it does not matter the vehicle.

for some reason compass did not work when attached to the window I managed to use the suction cups on a spot on the dash and it worked perfectly or try using the Velcro strips on the dash

Most features work with the iPhone 5s. I was very disappointed that the Garmin App display no longer worked when I upgraded from the iPhone 4 to the 5s. Both Garmin and Kenwood say that it is the Apple Lightening cord that switched from an analog video signal to a digital video signal. So far no idea whether this will be remedied.

It sure does! I have this product and I don't use it as much because I got use to the ios keyboard. But this will work on 5s.

the iphone manufacturer certified their device to be near a magnet, but I can only assume its ok for other similar technology devices.. The only other thing, is you need to attach a metallic disc to your device to stick to the magnet.. This thing only comes with large disk for tablet (about the size of a CD), but you can buy smaller discs for phones. The magnet cradle is large for a phone, and might seat a little crooked.. They recommend you "not" adhere the disc directly to a device (probably for cosmetic reasons).. So you should have a case of some kind, and adhere, or install the disc inside the case. the iphone manufacturer certified their device to be near a magnet, but I can only assume its ok for other similar technology devices..

The following link is for a smaller size that is best with phones. My wife and I have been using these for about five years. The origional manufacturer sold out to iMagnet a while back but these are exactly the same product. You will have to attach the metal plate to your device. I keep my phone in a case and the magnet mount works wonderfully with the metal placed on the inside of the case instead of the phone.The Original iMagnet Cradle-less Universal Car Phone Windshield Dashboard Mount Holder for iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S 6S Plus 5S 5, Galaxy S6 S5, Note 5 4 3, with Official iMagnet Logo The following link is for a smaller size that is best with phones.

Sean the connections on the 5s is different from the connections on the 4/4s so I don't think it will be compatible with the 5s...

Looq g is 5.00 less than Looq S and has a yellow button and S has a red one. There is no reason that I am aware of that it would not work with I-phone 5s. Either one should work.
