Comments on Digital Compass for Android

★★★★★ Ken Pic · Aug 1, 2026

I have tried several compass apps and this one is the best free one found. I like that I can point it in a direction, and it gives me that heading directly.

★★★★☆ Henry Lee · Sep 27, 2026

[EDIT] Please bring the "Red Bearing Marker" feature back, & get 5★ Rating back! Thanks! [/EDIT] | Excellent App. I've been using several Digital Compass Apps, and this App is still one of the Best (could be the Best). Its full-packed features, accuracy, qualities, reliability, stability, stability, compatibility, & ease of use make it great & worth it. • I bought it & quite satisfied so far. Low price for high quality. • I really appreciate the hard work behind this App. Big Thanks to Dev. Team

★★★★★ Sharief Starke · Aug 10, 2026

I didn't realize it could be set to True North, and it had a Qibla finder after having been on my phone for so long. A really 5-star app. Ads yes, but not intrusive. Could you guys please make this app compatible for Samsung Watch!

★★★★★ Laurie Mac · Oct 15, 2026

Easy to use and read. Simple and accurate.

★☆☆☆☆ True Believer · Sep 12, 2026

Does not work, it tells me that east is west and north is south.

★☆☆☆☆ Nick Miller · Aug 5, 2026

Mine is not working, point north instead of west
