About Compass Calibrator
Get the correct calibration of the phone's internal compass using this simple application.
Using sun position at each instant, North orientation is automatically calculated, taking into account parameters such as latitude, longitude and time.
Usage is extremely simple. You only have to place your phone in the direction of the sun so that the plate of the compass is showing north position.
It also has an additional indication of the phone's orientation sensor to calibrate the same until it matches the calculated address. Orientation sensor is aligned with Earth's magnetic field, but the app corrects this magnetic declination, so that the compass needle should point to the real north, once calibrated.

This does not calibrate, or fix anything. It just assumes you're an idiot and that you can't tell in which direction things are. So if you're trying to fix your pos phone(like me) don't bother. If you are too stupid to be able to find polaris, well........

As others have said, it works well to test the calibration, but it does nothing to actually calibrate the compass.

I'm not sure how this app calibrates anything since there are no directions and nothing in the interface with which to interact.

Thank you for this app, reassures me that my compass is accurate and that an external magnetic field during some areas of my commute is affecting my compass

It sucks. No settings. No calibration.
