Ratings and reviews

For a cup of coffee, this app is great, one of the best features is you can minimize it over other apps while driving or browsing so you can see where you're heading, many thanks to the creator, imo this is the best compass app on the play store. while driving you must use gps/Satellite mode for accuracy, because your phone’s magnetometer gets distorted by electronics and metals in your car, that goes to all compass apps.

A compass app that actually works like a real compass with no overcomplicated settings and no ads!! And yes you have to calibrate the compass every couple times you use it, but it only takes 30 seconds at most, and no compass app would be accurate without calibrating every couple of times if not every time you use it, considering all of the metals, magnets and electromagnetic fields that our phones get exposed to throughout the day.

Best compass I've used. Shows either true or magnetic headings, multiple color/display options, and local magnetic field. Adapts to location easily, great since we now live in a location that does not have straight N/S or E/W streets. The biggest issue is the fact that every time I use it, it must be recalculated, which is a pain. It goes from "high" accuracy to "medium" or "low" in one cycle of on-off-on. Not consistent...
