Notice This app requires a magnetic sensor (compass sensor) to function.
Calibration Magnetic cases or nearby magnetic objects may interfere with the compass sensor and cause inaccurate readings. If the compass direction appears incorrect, check whether the device is affected by nearby magnetic objects. For optimal performance, the magnetic field strength should ideally remain between 30–60 μT. To calibrate the compass, move your device in a figure-eight (∞) motion several times. If the sensor accuracy remains low, rotate the device repeatedly in all directions (left/right and up/down) to improve calibration.

Not that I think that I'd use it, but the morse code flash input seems a bit. Confusing to use.
★★★★★Jim Shepherd· Jul 6, 2025
The Morse message feature needs variable speed setting and sensible message editing. The flash rate is way too slow to be useful to any Ham or Aldi Lamp operator. The message formatting should allow spaces, so a message can be properly composed. Spaces should be ignored by the LED. It should also allow pasting from the Clipboard, which currently doesn't work.

The compass is very good, however if you show the gps location coordinates then use a format which is easier to use NN.nnnnnnn The possibility to share these coordinates via blue tooth would also be useful.
★★★★★Patrick Hilley· Oct 9, 2024
I am very pleased with this app - it matches the direction of my real compass, so I know it works.

Compass is way off. No way to calibrate. Unacceptible
★☆☆☆☆Keith Pecoraro· Apr 12, 2026
Inaccurate. Can't tell if it's the app or my phone.
★☆☆☆☆Istvan Fekete· May 11, 2026
Useless. Utterly. Accuracy is shown as "bad" and it is a perfect description. No attempt is made to show how to improve compass accuracy. I recall it being a whole thing on phones I had before. Maybe not these days, which would require an entire separate rant, but that does not make the application useful in any sense.
