After calibrated to my location the compass is working great! Compared to actual handheld compass' it hold the correct reading. Best one I have found so far. Along with upgrades and the designs available I would say check it out!

# Not just bug fixes, update adds permission re-order running apps. This should be communicated to users #

★☆☆☆☆ Doug Lee · Feb 3, 2026

It is an excellent compass when it works. I can no longer calibrate it and so it becomes obsolete. It remains on low strength.

★☆☆☆☆ Rambow Ninja · Feb 9, 2026

Gaslight compas. Says one thing then you move it a tiny bit, and it moves more the opposite direction. Was pointing due south, and it told me.I was south-west, then after moving it was south-east (all after calibration btw).
