Doesn't show directions in-between the main ones and can't change style of compass. Other than that, all good.

Such an entertaining app genuinely my screen time is hours
★★★★★Salvador Hernandez· Oct 19, 2026
Seems to be very accurate and more useful than expected.

After one day this app has exceeded my expectations in a good way!

Completely and totally wrong! Showing north when I'm going south. Non-stop ads, even ads for compasses that take up whole screen and then make it almost impossible to determine which is the app. I have, and which is the app on ad. There's tricky ad buttons that make it seem, you should push that button to open the app you have installed when really, it's a button for the compass on the ad. But most importantly is how wrong the compass is. it's opposite polarity to what is correct.

The app shows an ad for porn along the bottom. Awkward and unnecessary. We all know where to get porn. I don't need that from a simple compass. Uninstalling.

A bad compass is worse than no compass at all. I set this compass in line with, and a couple of feet away from, my old reliable Scout compass. If I turn this app off and on, or open and close the settings page, without moving my phone, the reading changes. Sometimes it's right on, sometimes it's off by up to 16 degrees. There's no calibration feature in the settings page. I tried the standard figure 8s, and circles, with no improvement. Since I can't trust it, I'm deleting it.
