Ratings and reviews

After the third time this app told me that the sun wass rising in the north I uninstalled it. EDIT: Apologies to the developer. I had never had occasion to use a compass app before, so calibrating one wasn't something I knew about. After the developer's response suggesting it, I calibrated the compass & now it works very well.

App is wonderful, works great, clean UI etc. Everything you could want from a compass app and more. One thing I would add though, is live Coordinates and Elevation. (if it's possible, I'm not entirely sure.)

I once saw the compass app on an iPhone, and thought it was very nice. I was surprised that I had trouble finding one for Android. When I heard about this one, I downloaded it, and it is just what I had been looking for. Simple, has everything you'd need plus a nice bubble level. It all looks great, too.
