Pocket Compass

Pocket Compass is a focused, easy-to-read compass for your phone. See your heading at a glance, understand magnetic north versus true north when location is available, and enjoy a clean interface without clutter.

WHAT YOU GET
• Large, clear heading with compass direction (N, NE, E, and more)
• Smooth dial with cardinal points and degree marks around the face
• True north support using magnetic declination when you allow location (calculated on your device)
• Magnetic north when declination is not ready or location is unavailable
• Simple side drawer for app info—no accounts or sign-in required

BUILT FOR REAL HARDWARE
Compass readings rely on magnetometer and motion sensors. For a reliable experience, use a physical phone or tablet. Simulators often cannot provide a real compass stream.

PERMISSIONS
Location is requested when in use so the app can estimate declination and show true north where supported. You control access in system settings at any time.

PRIVACY
The app is shipped without advertising SDKs or analytics SDKs. The developer does not operate a backend that stores your compass or location data for Pocket Compass.

ACCURACY NOTE
Readings depend on device sensors, nearby metal or electronics, and calibration. Always combine with maps and sound judgment when hiking, boating, or traveling outdoors.

Pocket Compass—straightforward direction on your device.
