On my iPhone 5s this doesn't seem to work all that well. The outer ring rotates twice as much as I physically rotate my phone. Otherwise the raw numbers are roughly the same as what I get in the Compass app on my phone, as expected from the Orientation API (the gps on my phone doesn't work well in my current location - maps gives my location about half a degree north of where I am with an error of +-120 km)
Plus, the demo is counter intuitive - the needle should point north, not where I'm pointing my phone. That's how a magnetic compass works. I'm not Jack Sparrow.

On the other hand, I've got to give props to what is clearly a project someone worked hard on. It's got a very attractive design, despite it's technical difficulties (that may be surmountable!).
