Comments on Compass for Android

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Rudra Bajaj ยท Nov 7, 2025
No ads, no purchases, just a simple, perfect compass. Perfect. Nothing more than required
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜… Simon Ho ยท Oct 4, 2026
An excellent compass app! Very functional, does exactly what it's meant to do without any annoyances. Works offline, so no ads, no in-app purchases, no theft of personal data. Optionally uses Location permission to show True North, no other permissions required. This app is Open Source (on GitHub) which typically indicates a trustworthy app, as anyone can check the source code to see what it's doing. Summary: If you want a compass app, use this one.

Simple, no nonsense, lightweight compass app with no adverts or unnecessary data collection.

North is facing easterly which is strange as another compass app says it is East.
