This is a nice phone compass. I use an actual compass for maps and mapping, but this suits what I use it for perfectly. It is a good looking compass, easy to use and pretty accurate. If you are looking for a nice phone compass, look no further. You're here! My compass says so. 😁
It is a simple application, it reads the magnetic sensors on your phone and tells you which way your going. No ads, no bells, off line with no cellular signal or wifi needed, and no extra stuff. Just a compass and it loads quickly.
Installed easy. Compass is easy to read. Does not check for a magnometer upon installation (Which it should). Calibration proceedure is somewhat vauge. When calibrated the ap is 180 degrees out of phase, will not calibrate even with re-start. The ap needs to be updated. Will notify ap store of this concern.
I like very much the detailed, accurate and smoothly working interface. I would like though a small desktop widget displaying on top of other apps as well. Moreover, an indicator showing the status of calibration would be very useful.
Fast, not dependable and not over featured with superfilous features. It actually has stopped showing true cardinal points. I'm lost. Looking for a solution, and I even bought the Pro version.
I like this app. It seems work better than the other compass apps I have tried. I say seems because I settled on this without spending much time with the other compass apps. The only time I have had trouble is when I forget to calibate by moving my phone.
Great app, as I suspected by the name. I think a good idea would be, present hyperlinks (buttons) to open various GPS navigation maps, e.g. Google Maps, AllTrails.
Works fine, accurate with no ads @$1.99. It's a backup/checkup for my old fashioned military grade Compass, I've had since Marine 0311, active duty-1980.
Simple. Effective. Know how to read a Compass. No hands held yet when you see True North - it's accurate for me. No extra bells or whistles- just good old fashioned Accuracy.
Description reads, "We bring updates to Google Play regularly to constantly improve speed, reliability, performance and fix bugs," yet the last update was over two years ago. Makes the developer suspect in my estimation. At least their English is decent.
Exactly what's on the tin. If you're just looking for orientation and don't need to do particularly precise orienteering, this is fit for purpose.
Its layout is super simple (really like this), friendly user, no ads & the reading is accurate but the compass movement seems not so smooth hope the developer can fix this. Overall I like this apps
Not used in the field, but it seems good. I got a message saying that the application was made for an older version of android, it would be worth updating the app. It seems to work anyway.
Does not work motorola G power. No controls or any way to check for anything. My phone has a compass according to the literature.
just installed after several years of not using it. it's really improved, calibrated very easily!
Pretty decent compass. I've tried a good hand full and finally settled on this one. No problems for about a year now.
It would be better if I had some time to use the app to evaluate it, instead of being asked a few minutes after I'd installed it. Based on perhaps 6 minutes experience it works well.
Not accurate maybe Same app both phones in the same position. one on an Samsung S7 and one on a OnePlus 7 S7 reads 158 S OnePlus 7 reads 227 SW Same with another compass app though.
Like a real compass! just what i was looking for looks study and solid and very percise.
Best simple app that does not ask you permissions not needed, so no network, camera or other options asked. Just download this safe and simple app.
very good application. I am using this sop to train my students on how to use the compass underwater. I like this application because simulates the behaviour of the compass we are using underwater.
Very handy, loads fast. I recalibrate it once or twice a year, and it never let's me down. Thank you for a great, simple to use app!
So tested this app while driving around town & to my surprise, it was pretty accurate, excellent app to have!
No updates in 2.5 years? What the hell. If an app isn't updated in 6 months, it should be removed from the play store.
Simple yet seems effective. Will update rating on further use.
Clean and simple. Just want you need in a compass.
Starts with calibration instructions, works great and is very attractive. Love it
I really love this because it works in airplane mode, without GPS, and in places where there's no signal. There are no ads, and apparently no required permissions. Easy to read at-a-glance. Has the look and feel of a real compass. Clear orienting lines and easy-to-dial bezel. However, I think the app only works as well as your device's magnetometer. My phone's magnetometer can be sensitive to nearby interference, and sometimes is just "off" for no apparent reason. But that's not the app's fault.
