Description
This free app turns your phone into a reliable heading guide, letting you see where you’re pointing without digging through complex menus. The clean compass interface shows your bearing, azimuth, degrees, and cardinal direction at a glance, so you can focus on the journey rather than the tool.
True North vs Magnetic North
Switch effortlessly between magnetic north and true north. True‑north calculations factor in your location to adjust for magnetic declination, giving you a more accurate sense of direction whether you’re trekking a trail or checking a room’s orientation.
Pinpoint Your Spot with Coordinates
Tap a button to pull your current latitude, longitude, altitude, and address. The app also opens a map view that places a marker on your exact spot, letting you see both the numeric coordinates and the surrounding geography without leaving the compass screen.
Explore the Map and Your Surroundings
With location permission enabled, the map shows your position relative to nearby landmarks, roads, and terrain. The compass overlay stays visible, so you can keep your heading while you explore the area.
Extra Tools for Everyday Use
- Qibla direction – An optional marker points toward the Kaaba based on your current location.
- Slope and level – Measure the tilt of your device and calculate slope angles for construction or DIY projects.
- AR compass – See compass data overlaid on the camera preview for a hands‑free navigation experience.
- Flashlight – Activate your device’s light to illuminate dark paths or check directions at night.
- Custom settings – Tweak compass behavior, direction label style, and display options to match your preferences.
When to Use This Handy Companion
Whether you’re hiking a mountain trail, setting up a campsite, navigating a new city, or simply checking which way a room faces, this app delivers the essential directional info you need in a straightforward package. It also supports educational activities that explore Earth’s magnetic field and bearing concepts.
Keeping Your Compass Spot‑On
Phone compasses can be thrown off by nearby magnetic fields. Stay clear of magnets, magnetic phone cases, metal objects, batteries, speakers, and other electronic gear while taking a reading. If the accuracy indicator drops, move away from potential interference and follow the in‑app calibration steps. Holding the device level also stabilizes the displayed direction.
What Your Phone Needs to Work
A reliable compass reading requires a magnetometer and an accelerometer. Devices lacking these sensors can’t provide a trustworthy heading. Location‑based features need permission and depend on GPS signal strength and surrounding conditions. Make sure your phone meets these hardware requirements for the best experience.
