GoBack: Return Compass

BinaryBears

About this app

Keep the way back on your wrist.

Save your starting point, head out, and use a clear compass arrow and straight-line distance to return to Start. GoBack runs on your compatible Wear OS 4+ watch without a phone companion for navigation.

The app interface is available in English, Italian and Spanish. This Store page is translated separately.

START. EXPLORE. RETURN.
1. Enable precise location and notifications.
2. Wait for GPS READY, then explicitly save Start.
3. When it is time to head back, choose direct return.

ESSENTIALS AT A GLANCE
• One simple compass style: Trail.
• Direction and straight-line distance to your active Start.
• Natural and higher-contrast Sunlight appearances.
• GPS accuracy, compass status and battery details.
• Active-session recovery and an ongoing activity for quick access.
• Optional screen-on behavior during return guidance.

NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO MAP DOWNLOADS.
Location and session records stay in private app storage on the watch. GoBack has no app network access, advertising SDK, remote analytics SDK or automatic route upload. Android and Google location services operate separately according to device settings.

WHAT THIS EDITION INCLUDES
GoBack focuses on going out and returning directly to Start during the active session. Manual checkpoints, an accessible archive, other compass styles and return along the recorded route belong to the separate GoBack PRO app. There is no automatic data transfer between editions.

Ending a session makes its Start unavailable for navigation. Completed private records can remain stored locally. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes its local data; ending a session does not delete it.

BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT
Test guidance in a familiar area and check GPS, compass and battery. The arrow indicates a direction, not a safe or passable route. Readings can be inaccurate and system restrictions can interrupt tracking. GoBack is not an emergency service or a replacement for suitable navigation equipment and judgment.

Requires a compatible Wear OS 4+ watch. No maps, road routing, SOS or cloud synchronization.
