    Have tried various map apps on iPhone, the best so far are NZ Topo50 followed by iHike. Can be discrepancies of up to 20degrees compass bearing if you don’t calibrate phone/compass before taking bearing same as you do for some dedicated gps units. On iPhone I seem to have to recalibrate compass every time I open app. Always check accuracy against handheld compass or known landmark for peace of mind.
