On older iphones the compass app was great, but the newer ones have an inbuilt magnetometer which is affected by all magnetic sources. I have to take my phone out of its case, which has a magnet in it to keep it closed, before I can get any sort of accuracy with it, even then it seems to be a few degrees out when using the SkySafari app.
