I think the solar noon method is fine, but for me it’s not that useful as you can only use it at noon. I normally get to a dark site late afternoon. I also find it a bit of a hassle with the sticks and string and all.
There are a number of these threads and I’m flummoxed why people struggle with compasses (iPhone or regular). It just has to get you in the ball park, after which you have to use another method anyway (drift, aspa, sharpcap etc).

I use my iPhone compass and a small orienteering compass. Then ASPA or PemPro, session dependent.
