"Limited functionality on Russian devices". Compass core function seems to work fine. Coordinates label is displayed, but red cross instead of values.
Please add: [1] option to change color of compass and text to red (night friendly), [2] sunrise/sunset times, [3] pitch/roll (degrees°), magnetic field strength (µT) and magnetic declination (degrees°), [4] picture-in-picture mode, [5] WearOS support. Thank you!
Wow its so smooth and accurate I'm surprised! Really dig that clean minimalistic design, works well and even goes an extra mile with another measuring instrument! Still GOOD at 2022
Not at all good. I opened it to find it around 90° out, North is not where the sun rises in Spring! So I calibrated it, and now it is around 120° - 130° out, claiming North is somewhere around South East.
No options, configurations, calibrations, no anything on the wearOS portion of the app. Just a compass that's always ~60° off. Tried doing the move in an 8 thing to calibrate it and I sometimes get either 170°off or 20°off for up to 15 seconds before it reverts to 60° off. Update: Managed to calibrate the system somehow in Google maps, so it's perfect in this app, but this app now always tells me it needs recalibration because it's no longer 60° off.
Exceeds the iOS app for which I sought an equivalent. Really great for hikes with no cell connection. Makes navigating on foot more fun and less frustrating; and encourages creativity in navigation, something I wasn't even looking for, but for which I am deeply grateful! P.S. As a software developer myself, I would love to contribute to this as open source. If this would be helpful, please get in touch!
it could be s great piece of software but needs to fix a bug which makes it useless for today (april 2019). i run it under sndroid one and if i switch it into background mode and then turn my phone , then switch back to the application it displays sides of the world as they were before i turned the phone which are no longer correct. it is nice that theapplication shows address of the current point.
Excellent. Good app without ads
Very good app! Basically a copy of the Apple compass app, but that's not a bad thing - it's well made. One small disappointment though, color on the level doesn't change color when you leave it level. No a huge deal but a nice touch that the original app has.
The best tool for navigation
Finally someone made a good clone of the iOS compass. Love the minimalist design. However, please add the key feature of tapping to calibrate the level at any angle, like in iOS. Also, more options and info in the settings would be nice and would not break the minimalist feel of the application itself.
It's very amazing app with very clean user interface and there isn't any ads so really cool app. It even shows the current address and can see the direction of any city or area by searching it in inside navigation and when we finish navigation it again shows north side. Very useful features.
No ads, great functionality I would reccomend. A suggestion to the developers would be to ad a camera view to the level tool maybe with a few options for on screen rulers and lines together with a well placed snapshot button to so as to avoid nudging the phone while performing a awkward screenshot action. A camera view option for behind the compass screen could be great for Instagram pix etc.
Very good app. Tried other apps and had to uninstall those. The compass needle turns better than others i.e. is more responsive and is more consistent. Also includes inclinometer/ spirit level detection. Haven't seen any ads which is another plus point. Would recommend this one.
To tjaz did u do the set up. Cause this app spot on every time .if you don't do the set up u will get bad results so DO THE INITIAL SET UP Just roll that ball even if it takes 5-10 min. Cause the outcome is a great compass app without ads and a bunch of BS. Some of the others either didn't ask you to to do the initialization or depending on which way I held phone coordinates changed. This app developer has done the compass justice built a great app without being a Richard. Thank you. Excellent
Installed this app on an LG V40 Thinq, it would start up just fine and it looked promising. I liked the clean and simple interface, it reminded me of the compass app by 🍎. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the compass to successfully calibrate. I'll have to try something else...
Best compass app for Android. Always has been anyways. Would be nice to see a comprehensive calibration set up screen that walks you through the steps of calibration and gives you a comparative end result.
This compass should really be higher up in the app ranking charts. Its a compass with no ADs and does what a compass should do. Great on amoled displays with a clean minimalistic feel. Thank you for making such a great app, I truly appreciate your lack of greed.
The app is great, moreover it's add free. Simplistic yet usefull. I would only suggest an addition of live camera feed on spirit level which may be helpful in checking of horizontal line of sight on vertical facade.
It's a great compass app. It actually look like iPhone but I like it a lot. It doesn't show any ads. It works great on my Android. I never had any issue. The app also load very fast.
No ads App is great, I love it. Same as iphone compass But, the balance level feature is missing from main compass, please add it. The levels are shown when we swipe right, but it should be shown below the compass too...
This is a really good app I've used in a really long while. It's so intuitive and perfect, effortless is the right word for it. It does the job just fine, no ads. Loved it! Kudos to the Devs.
Shown Direction changes everything. Totally Unsatisfied
Clean experience, hats off to the developer.
Compass is an essential app that should be on every smartphone. Kudos to you man! The perfect compass app for every phone that doesn't get one from the manufacturer. Ad free too!
This works well with no ads anywhere and the edge to edge rendering for Android 10 gestures is really nice to have. However the interface is a complete rip off of the iOS compass app. It would be nice if the devs could come up with their own theme or at least make the app UI closer to Material Theme (MD2)
As someone else said, its about 60 degrees out making it usless! I know which way our house is oriented as the sun rises into our bedroom window, according to this app our bedroom faces NW!! Downloaded another compass app which works fine, checked against an orienting compass. Don't just download this app and assume its giving you correct info without checking! Have uninstall it!
