Awesome app This compass app has all your directional needs, it gives you many themes which can be simple and just a plan compass all the way up to gps tracking which gives you speed, direction of travel, the road your on, the altitude, your pitch and roll. Also when you make a nite it lets you keep a tab of all of that. This is by far the best compass app around only beatin by one thing, a real compass.

Sell out Like most other great apps, this one sold out for ad revenue. Notes? Seriously? Has anyone ever been using a compass and thought "you know what this could really use? A built in note taking function!" The answer is no. This app needs notes about as much as it needs to play music, set alarms, or read a contact list or calendar entry. What is it that makes developers think "how can I take my simple and functional app and ruin it?"
