Android App Analysis and Review: Compass, Developed by PixelProse SARL. Listed in Tools Category. Current Version Is 6.2.5, Updated On 15/06/2025 . According to users reviews on Google Play: Compass. Achieved Over 3 million Installs. Compass Currently Has 39 thousand Reviews, Average Rating 4.6 Stars
A magnetic compass with magnetic declination correction for best accuracy. A compass is an instrument used for navigation and orientation that shows direction relative to the geographic North. Geographic North is computed given the magnetic North and the magnetic declination at your current location. In some places around the world, the magnetic North can be as far as 20 degrees from the geographic North.● Use of GPS or Network location for best accuracy
● Magnetic declination correction
● True altitude above sea level
● Altimeter
● Elevation computation use EGM-96 model
● Supports multiple coordinate formats UTM, DD, DMM, or DMS
● Show Latitude and Longitude
● Sunrise and Sunset times
● Easy calibration
● Show angle in degrees
● Clean design
● Install on SD
● Save places for tracking them
● Create multiple lists of favourite places
● Show shorted path to a place
● Search new places by name or address
● Qibla Compass (find direction of the Kaaba in Mecca)
Place tracking allow you to save your current location for later find its direction from anywhere else in the world!
Note regarding horizontal accuracy:
The device location has an horizontal accuracy that depends on the quality of the GPS signal. The smaller the horizontal accuracy is, the better the location is accurate. In some cases, the horizontal accuracy can be so big that other information can be inaccurate : altitude, distance and direction to a place that is very close to you. Refreshing the location after a few second can give you a better horizontal accuracy.
Note regarding device calibration :
Smartphones use magnetic and orientation sensor in order to compute the direction of the magnetic North. Sensor might be in an unknown state when the application is started. Sensors requires a lot of values to reach optimal accuracy and precision. To do so, move your phone in space in a ∞ figure pattern until the accuracy turns to high.
This application requires permissions in order to compute your location and the magnetic declination for a better accuracy of this compass and to provide you with further information such as true north, true altitude above sea level, direction and distance to any place in the world.

Not impressed that when I uncheck than when I confirm my choices, it returns to selecting them again, so I see that if I accept them, which I do not want to, then it would allow me to use the app. So I will be uninstalling it. Unless you sort this ridiculous update out. It worked perfectly OK until the recent update. Now uninstall and have a better compass app without any issues good bye. And good riddance.

I thought it would be handy to have just in case, especially where I live. However, it seems to have issues if you're in just such an area that would need it. I live in the mountains and it has difficulty staying accurate and the compass moves extremely slow trying to keep up with even minor movement or jumps well past the amount moved. Small enough app that I'll keep, but I'd recommend having an actual compass if you plan on needing one.

Why am I not drowning?, Screen GPS data, is showing altitude of -22m, yet I'm looking out over tidal water as I type. Clear steady compass. Free version sems ad free so far, and I don't need extra features in pro version. App icon so hard to spot, this making me look for replacement. Icon's just a N in a red circle, wish it looked like a compass but no setting to do this.

I use it to align the satellite antenna on my RV as we travel around the country. It's precise and works like a champ. I appreciate that it gived the azimuth in magnetic degrees instead of true North. Being abke to plug in lat/lon coordinates or a city would be an improvement, but one can fond their location on the map easily enough.

I am truly familiar w/my city, but not all neighborhoods . Due to several frwy onramp closures, Waze kept directing me further away from my comfort zone, and my sense of direction was off. To redirect myself, I pulled out the app and it FAILED! Nothing I did could make it work. I was lost, scared and frustrated 40 miles from home, alone at 2am. Why 2 stars? Im giving it the benefit of the doubt. Why, i dont know.

My first impression of all apps is how easy they are to use and how quickly one can follow the instructions and start using the app. I gave this app a 4 instead of a 5 simply because I couldn't figure out how to delete the useless directions to cities around the world that I simply didn't need and that took up space. I finally came up with a hard press. Delete the useless major cities directions and I'd be giving it a five.

I already know which direction is north, and this app indicates approximately 57°E as being North, which isn't even True North. And that was just the first time. I've done as the app directed to try to calibrate it multiple times, closed and restarted the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, and every time, Not only that, but this claims to have "No Ads", so why doee it include in the annoyingly frequent pop-up request for Location Access: "Location Access will allow to provide relevant ads"?

No unnecessary garbage, just works, easy install and small app, no ads. Edit: few months later, trying to use it, the compass indicates pure garbage, even if calibrated multiple times. App became unusable. Cannot have N in front of me no matter how I turn around.
