Comments on Compass Overlay for Android

★★★★★ KN Reddy · Sep 21, 2021
I was searching for such app. It overlays over Uber maps for identifying expected direction uber vehicle at an unfamiliar place / city.
★★★★☆ Chris Zzz123 · Jul 9, 2018
Nice and smooth, but the dark red North needle is hard to tell apart from the black South needle under bright sunlight. The red needle should be solid brght red instead of just an outline.
★★★★☆ Kevin Hayhurst · Feb 25, 2023
Useful as an overlay for Tracklia navigation app which lacks a compass. It is a little difficult to read north and south in full sunlight.
★☆☆☆☆ Dan Lo Fat · May 8, 2019
You have to make the north pointer brighter red, and make it a widget so that it's not constantly appearing of the upper right-hand corner every time I start it as an overlay. Or making sure that the app remembers where the overlay was the last time it was used so that it's not constantly snapping to the upper right-hand corner upon a new use or restart.
★★☆☆☆ Jim O'Connor · Mar 3, 2022
As another user mentioned, compass doesn't display properly when in landscape. I have a Z Fold 3. The app doesn't adjust even though the overlay works. It's still showing the compass in portrait. If you tap the overlay while in an app that is in landscape such as Waze the compass opens in portrait. I'm assuming this is why it doesn't display properly. Great idea and works fine otherwise. But being that many people would use this during navigation while phone is turned I can only give two stars.

Description by Isaac W. Davis Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Open app and click START. A small compass will be displayed which will overlay any app opened.

Click the small compass to stop the overlay.

Drag the small compass to move it on the screen.

Simple to use and very helpful when viewing maps on a phone.

This compass points to magnetic north.
