Comments on Compass for Android

★★★★★ Philip White · Apr 20, 2024

An excellent basic compass without a lot of clutter. Been using it for years, should have reviewed it long ago

★★★★☆ First Last · May 2, 2025

I'm not interested in allowing location accuracy, yet every time I launch this app it wants me to enable location accuracy. No, I'd rather just uninstall.

★★★★★ Ida Wolk · Jun 6, 2026

06-05-2026 3:28 am. JUST TURNED IT ON SO, SO- FAR SO- GOOD DETECTING MY DIRECTION PERFECTLY. I INTEND TO USE IT MORE AFTER HIP SURGERY WHEN I HOPE TO GET HIKING AGAIN. MEANWHILE, I WILL LEARN ABOUT ITS FUNCTIONS AND HOW TO PROPERLY USE IT, EVEN AROUND TOWN. I HAVE NO SENSE OF DIRECTION BUT I THINK THIS WILL KEEP ME GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BTW I AM USING ON A MOTO EDGE 2025 IN CASE THIS HELPS. THX

★★★★★ Tom Driscoll · Apr 30, 2026

Easy to use and seems to be fairly accurate

★☆☆☆☆ Nima · Sep 25, 2024

They make you agree to sell your data to 100s of companies, which if you opt out, you won't be able to use the app. What a scam

★☆☆☆☆ Steven Zusack · Dec 23, 2024

It's a good compass, but it's a tracking app that sells your info to anyone who will buy it. Read the privacy agreement. I appreciate that they do state it plainly. It's just not for me. I just wanted a compass.

★★☆☆☆ boltgolt · Aug 8, 2024

Requires tracking ads (app used to be called" Compass free & no ads"). Downgrade to version 5.3.2 if you want to have the original intention of the app again
