A Compass, with geographic north, true altitude, address, sunset & sunrise times
Compass & Altimeter by PixelProse SARL is a feature-rich navigation tool that delivers true geographic north, AMSL altitude via the EGM96 geoid, sunrise and sunset times, and versatile coordinate formats — all usable offline. It holds solid TOOLS rankings ( NL #113, DK #149 ) and a strong 4.32 rating from 120,847 reviews, backed by 5,000,000+ total installs and 48K in the last 30 days.
Pros & Cons
Offline functionality for compass features
Supports multiple coordinate formats (DD, DMM, DMS) and several coordinate systems (MGRS, UTM, OSGB86, CH1903)
Customizable dials and color themes, including high-contrast options
Geographic north derived from magnetic declination and true altitude via EGM96 geoid
Accuracy can be affected by magnetic perturbations and external interference (e.g., certain magnetic cases).
Address feature requires data connectivity, limiting offline usefulness of that function.
Requests a broad set of location and ad/tracking permissions, which may raise privacy considerations for some users.

Description
A simple and easy to use Compass to retrieve useful information about your current position such as true Geographic north and true altitude above sea level.
• Works perfectly offline and without network access • Geographic north using magnetic declination • True altitude above mean sea level (AMSL) • Sunrise & Sunset times • Azimut angles in deg, grad, mrad, gon • Various dials and color themes (including high contrast) • Angle measurement (with dials including measuring capabilities) • Bubble Level functionnality (available in iPhone dial) • Use EGM96 as the geoid reference for computing altitude • Latitude & Longitude in MGRS, UTM coordinate formats • Latitude & Longitude in DD, DMM or DMS format • British National Grid (OSGB86) coordinate system • SwissGrid (CH1903 / LV95 / MN95) • Magnetic field strength to detect potential perturbations • Sensor accuracy • Address of your current location (requires data connectivity)
Compass better works outside where magnetic perturbations are low. Magnetic closure cell phone cases may also disrupt the accuracy of the compass.
EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model) is used as the geoid reference to compute true altitude above sea level from data collected by the GPS sensor. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) is a system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth.

Being a homebody, and not having much of anything to compare it to, I do like this app. It's user-friendly and seems quite accurate
★★★★★Luke “Eternal Dark X” Goodwin· Jul 15, 2026
Great app, I love how it has milliradians and radians as well! 👍
★★★★★David Kelly-Durrant· Jun 28, 2026
Does exactly what it says on the tin 👌 Elegant simplicity and very accurate with a very readable display 👍
★★★★★Stephen Pittman· Apr 21, 2026
Great compass, very quick, seems to be accurate.
★★★★☆Cody Schlotthauer· May 30, 2026
Honestly it dus it's job could have a useful wig git
★★★★☆Sachin Rawat· Apr 27, 2026
It is a good app to use for basic knowledge of directions and altitude

Adware beware. If you opt out of the intense, advertising tracking and retargeting cookies you cannot use the app unless you pay or change your consent to opt-in. This sketchy methodology is called "consent-or-pay” or “pay-or-okay” and it isn't legally compliant with most domestic and international privacy laws. Consent can't be freely given if it is forced. I'm surprised a lawsuit hasn't been filed yet.

After forcing me to click through almost 200 advertising-related permissions, which I rejected, I was forced to either accept data collection and targeted advertising, or pay for a purchase, to be able to even try the product. Rejected. Useless scam.
