Simple Compass shows you where north is – the moment you open it. No splash screen, no sign-up, no setup. Open the app and see your direction.
Lost on a trail? Wondering which way your windows face? Setting up a satellite dish or a tent? Your phone becomes an accurate digital compass.
Where a compass app comes in handy:
• hiking in the mountains and forests
• cycling, kayaking, sailing and camping
• finding your way in a new city
• aligning a satellite dish or solar panels
• checking which way your balcony, garden or plot faces
• teaching kids the cardinal directions
Why Simple Compass:
• A reading in under a second – the compass is the start screen
• Big, smoothly rotating dial with a red north needle
• Degrees (0–359°) and the full direction name: North, Northeast, Southwest…
• Air pressure in hPa from your phone's barometer
• Vibrate at north – feel the direction without looking at the screen
• The screen stays on while you use the compass
• Low-accuracy warning with a figure-eight calibration hint
• Light theme for bright sun, navy for the evening, or automatic; three text sizes
Privacy
Simple Compass doesn't ask for location access and needs no account. Compass and barometer readings are processed only on your phone. The compass works without internet – on the trail, in the woods and abroad.
No subscription
The app is supported by a small banner below the dial – never on the dial and never full screen. You can remove it with a one-time purchase.
Good to know
• The compass points to magnetic north.
• For the most accurate reading, hold your phone flat and away from magnets, speakers and metal.
• Air pressure is shown on phones with a barometer (most mid-range and flagship phones have one).
