Comments on Compass for Android

★★★★★ IgShuko · Jul 30, 2025

What I like about this app is that it gives me a choice between true north (geographic north) typically used in maps and magnetic north (that a magnetic compass points to). And the app is ABSOLUTELY FREE! I had to recalibrate the compass sensor on my Motorola G24 Android smartphone (so that north on the compass aligns correctly with the top of the screen), moving the phone through the air in a figure-8 pattern and (IMPORTANT!) rotating it around multiple axes. Then the compass app worked OK.:)

★★★★★ J D · May 20, 2026

Clean, simple design, no bells or whistles. The most complex it gets is the option to switch to true north (requires internet), and a reminder of how to calibrate your phone's sensor. Mine often gets mixed up, so that's pretty useful. It followed my phone's 'dark mode' setting, didn't request any permissions, and just got on with telling me what direction my phome was pointing.

★★★★★ Michael · May 3, 2026

Simple and perfect. Includes the ability to adjust to true north. Thank you for providing this

★★★★★ Shmuel Leib Melamud · Oct 18, 2025

Exactly what I wanted: a simple app without ads or in-app purchases that does one thing and does it well.

★☆☆☆☆ Gtwo Ohtwooh (JMG) · Mar 28, 2025

Now, 90 degree error. No fix, no suggestions found. App functioned on day of installation.

★☆☆☆☆ George Oppenheimer · Mar 21, 2025

Does not show the north (wrong by more than 90%, making it useless). I am using Galaxy S24 and compared it to a few others compass apps - all others show the north.

★☆☆☆☆ Shreyansh Sen · Dec 15, 2025

It's pole direction is totally wrong. Worst digital 🧭
