Description
This application is a magnetic compass whose main goals are the reliability and the ease of use. Sensor data is treated by a Kalman filter in order to obtain superior stability in readings. The design is simple without unnecessary glares and shadows to improve readability. This compass is intended to be used in horizontal position.
In order to keep this as a 100% free product please give it a positive vote if you find it useful.
The application makes use of gyroscope sensor data on devices having this kind of sensor. If the gyroscope option is grayed out, your device does not have this kind of sensor. Do not give a negative vote because of your device lacking such sensor.
If you are experiencing any issue, please contact the developer by mail. Otherwise, it is impossible to get the necessary information to solve the problem. Strange behaviours (such as continuous rotation) are due to sensor problems. Calibrating the magnetic sensor or rebooting the phone does usually fix these problems. The application just represents the data gathered by the sensors.

★★★★★
Great compass app. VERY steady indicator dial and totally accurate. Simple, small footprint (not a larger than necessary program) & does not require any special permissions.
★★★★★
A great way to use the phone's compass sensor. A simple elegant app to use the phone's compass sensor. It's as accurate as your phone let's it be. A great way to make the most of a phone in one more way. Wouldn't rely on a phone compass sensor unless I had to, though. Don't use this on your expedition to Everest.
★★★★★
Perfect !!! Works. No Ads. No unnecessary permissions. What else can you ask for a free compass?
★★☆☆☆
Nahhh you said in the chat forum that the steady compass will give you gyroscope. For the game pokemon go when it goes to the camera you cant see the pokemon so it says turn augmented reality off which is the gyroscopes job and then its just on the screen of the phone then and not using the camera to see the pokemon. So tbh i would give you no stars if i could. You sed that you app would lfix the problem and it didnt

New Permissions Why do you now require location and WiFi permissions? Should not even need location, if purely a magnetic compass. Originally never did. Harvesting data or building mapping without disclosing?
★★☆☆☆
Tracks your location Recently started randomly using GPS during the day. Privileges include internet access and automatic launch at startup. THIS IS CREEPY!
