Ratings and reviews

The instructions on how to calibrate your compass works perfect. It's amazing how it knows what Address I'm at, it even has my elevation of my location where ever I go. This app is a must have, I love it . Great job on all the other features also. It even has settings that you can tap on. It also has the info on you're longitude & latitude readings. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. Great job, thank you so much .

Very good compass. I love the Taskbar indicator. However, I wish there were more options for it, such as displaying the current direction in letters (N, NW, S eg.). Also an option which instead of having the pointer always pointing north, it points up for north, down for south, left for west, ect.. Depending on the facing direction (this is what I originally figured it did until my confusion was settled). Overall, very good app.

Used to be just a simple, elegant and functional compass app with few required permissions. Hadn't been updated for a good while and now there's updates again it's got tailored ads, fullscreen ads, ad ID permissions, etc. you have to wade through before you can actually use the app? Sure you've got to keep the lights on somehow, but you can't tell me this doesn't negatively affect the usability of the app.
