This compass app has everything I was looking for, including a FREE THEME for night use. The readings are very accurate, and, compared with other compass apps, this one is very lightweight.
Best of all compasses. Happily paid to get the pro. Calibration and true north options are very important. Highly accurate. I just wish that North would be marked more clearly in a different color.
Great as long as you go west. Says I am going west no matter what direction I am going. Update. Found out my Android phone does not have a magnometer so I really can't rate the app. Suggest an error msg would be helpful.
Very poor app. Does not give accurate info...intact each time you rotate your phone- the directions change
Not accurate. Looks like the want people to use the paid version
Good straight forward app, easy to use
Worthless app that gets bearings wrong.
Basic tool use.
technical is best
Does exactly what it says it does, and simple to use.... Perfect when you pop out from subway/tube and want to get your bearings
Useless, swung only between NNW and NNE no matter which way you turn.
The red night hunt dial looks like something out of the Predator movie. Fantastic!
This app doesn't work on my brand new phone. Too many ads.
This app shows the same bearings irrespective of when I ask it to show direction according to True or Magnetic North. Its a good idea to have inclination data and night mode
Loud and intrusive advertisements. No leveller
very informative and it works.
Ads are too intrusive
Best!!!
Not working at all doesn't move?
Plus, it runs smooth, fast, and accurate, without requiring permissions.
Hey, drop the cost of your pro app for the Holidays and I'll definitely buy it! I don't need the extra stuff, but I'll feel good contributing to your dev efforts — and there's no better feeling than getting "a deal"!

this app gives my employers easy way to cut the wood.
Simply amazing! Motorola sensors work like a charm here!
Sure you can upgrade to pro, but when there's so much competent competition why wouldn't you just switch?
Declination adjustment would not work. Maybe it is a pro feature? Not worth paying for that.
Have upgraded to paid version.
Highly Recomended
Saved my day in the mtns
I really wanted to like this, even with all the ads. It seems accurate once the internal compass has been calibrated by another app or the "figure eight" method. It has decent graphics and features. However, keep it set to report magnetic azimuth and adjust for declination yourself. I could find no way to adjust to true azimuth. I've never heard of a 82 deg. west declination but that is what it was reporting, in my 13 deg. east locale. Calibrated, it works as a magnetic compass ONLY. Be sure to account for your local declination. Too bad, because it has promise otherwise. ON EDIT: I missed the easily overlooked manual declination field on the top of the settings page. It is not the toggle! Once set to your local declination value the compass works as it should, I like it, will upgrade to the paid version and adjust my rating accordingly from 2 to 5 stars. My only recommendation would be to place that field under the toggle for magnetic/true.
