About Steady compass

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.

Works great...! Update: why does it require run-at-startup? Please, we just want it to run when we need it, 3 stars then. Last update: have decided to remove.

Flip my phone in different directions and its different every time. Sucks!

The app when not use is making Internet connection. Why?

Worked brilliantly until Android 4.3 on my Nexus 7. Now it just goes crazy. Note that is not the only compass for which this is true. Too good to lose for long, do please update for 4.3 soon.

This is for You if you want No ads, understandable in less than 10 minutes (I'm not an Engineer) appealing interface, Indicators are marked N & S, no annoying flickering btw modes and loads instantly each time you tap it. I tried smart compass prior to Steady and it was a disaster. Only suggestion I have is rather the triangular East marker it would be more pronounced if Marked with an E, for people like me ;)

Very nicely done. I have this as Emergency way finder. Have to rip my magnetic cover off to use it for that. But that is expected.. No compass will work next to a magnetic phone case. LOL

Other compasses are all wonky. This one works like a charm on my Motorola XYBoard.

Actually points to the north most of the time but can also be horibly wrong. Do not trust this app when lost and searching your way back home

Worked well when first installed but started pointing wrongly after a few uses. Uninstalled. Samsung Galaxy Grand.

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?

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

The compass is great, but I don't understand the Car Finder. It tells me my car is 37.5 miles away. Both my current location and my cars location are incorrect. The location permission is on so that can't be the issue. My phone is paired with 2 vehicles, how does Steady Compass divine a cars location? Also, when I do the "back" to exit the map to my car the app hangs with a steady spinning circle "Loading, please wait..." and I must hit "back" a second time to get to the Compass / Car Finder screen.

This was the best compass all but now it's draining my battery quite a lot after the last updated. Never had a problem before. Lollipop on Moto X Play

L70%
by L####:

A beautiful compass, but why would I want it to automatically run at startup? As such, it is just another resource draining vampire app. So, I will uninstall it for now.

Galaxy Note Edge. Seems to have restricted functionality. No function icons at the bottom of the screen. Degree symbol is corrupted and there is no other capability other than the compass display (Find your car not working). Shame really.

C70%
by C####:

It show direction but you can not turn dial or mark headind, so it do work but is not so useful.

M70%
by M####:

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.

I have tried several. This one works perfectly. No permissions needed, no calibration. Super easy to use. Great app.

Simple, reliable and fun....... Coming up from the subway in new town a cloudy day it is my goto tool.

What can I say... needed a decent compass app... got a better than I could have hoped for compass app

Q70%
by Q####:

VERY steady indicator dial and totally accurate. Simple, small footprint (not a larger than necessary program) & does not require any special permissions.

N70%
by N####:

Works. No Ads. No unnecessary permissions. What else can you ask for a free compass?

K70%
by K####:

thus app I like for their utility

K70%
by K####:

I checked North with a regular physical compass first. This app is much like many other compass apps they appear to show north in the wrong direction so if want to get lost download this app.

G70%
by G####:

The most simple and almost perfect compass app. It just misses a compass ring you can rotate. DO NOT believe the wonky review!!! It is just one of those reviews of somebody who lacks knowledge about his phone and blames the app instead of his phone. Ratings of 3 stars or less are ratings about the phone and the owner of the phone.

Am I missing something? I like the options . . . But unfortunately, the App won't work

R70%
by R####:

I've never done one of these reviews before, but this is honestly great. I really love the fact that this app in particular doesn't take any special permissions with my phone. It's so refreshing! I really enjoy it.

Doesn't work on my Nexus7 latest Android.

Is what I needed and it is what it says (°ο°) Thanx!
