Comments on Digital Compass for Android

★★★★★ Liberty Toad · Feb 28, 2026

Works very well. Easy to use. Shows your location on Google Maps if needed. Modest fee to remove the ads. One of the few compass apps that displays the correct altitude. Worth the money. Little/no jitter. My phone is off about 2° and so is this, so it is as accurate as the phone which is good, so it is usable in an emergency. I wish it defaulted to True north when started.

★★★★★ Aditi Singh · May 8, 2026

Very easy to use and give accurate directions by stating the direction along with degrees

★★☆☆☆ Bruce Tellier · Feb 1, 2026

Since the ads on this app block the button on my phone that closes the app I'm considering deleting it if this isn't changed.

★☆☆☆☆ shubham pendam · Mar 19, 2026

Latitude longitude accurate not showing

★★☆☆☆ Chris Bough · Apr 19, 2026

Continual ads so annoying I rarely use the app.

★☆☆☆☆ Jay wade · Mar 4, 2026

The North marking doesn't always point North

★☆☆☆☆ Wayne the Brain · Mar 4, 2026

It has to overcomplicate things with magnetic fields and such, I just wanted a basic compass and this isn't it.

★☆☆☆☆ Jack Morin · May 3, 2026

Nowhere near accurate. It indicates East as being SSE.
