• Relative altitude: set a base point to track ascent/descent
• Compass: True/Magnetic North, localized direction text (NESW), subtle haptics
• Calibration & interference: magnetic interference detection with calibration tips
• Sun & Moon: elevation/azimuth, sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset
• Photography aide: golden/blue hour with bearings for better framing
• Coordinates: switch between Decimal and DMS; one‑tap copy
• Sources & accuracy: Auto/GPS/Barometric modes; GPS High/Medium/Low accuracy
• Pressure: live pressure with units (hPa/mmHg/inHg/psi)
• Personalization: m/ft, 12/24‑hour, language, precision display, splash animation

Design & Performance
• Large, legible typography with modern UI
• “Fast‑then‑precise” positioning and smart lifecycle for stability and battery savings

Ratings and reviews

Seems to be a premium product! A wide set of meters and gauges and it states it's not: collecting data, selling information, or advertising. A complete product right out of the box?! Truly then five stars, if so

only critique is the widget altimeter does not change units when the settings change. seems stuck in meters. but beyond that it seems amazing straight forward and easy to use

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great and Reliable Compass App! I’ve been using UN Compass for a while and it works perfectly. The design is clean, accurate, and easy to use. It doesn’t drain the battery and shows directions instantly, even offline. I really like how stable it is compared to other compass apps. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a precise and trustworthy compass tool!

What’s new

Improved compass stability across Android devices and fixed incorrect prompts to enable Location Services. Uncalibrated barometric altitude is now clearly marked as an estimate. Also includes reliability improvements.
