Does exactly what a compass should. Just accept that you must calibrate the phone (easy to do) for accurate results.

Works stable and incredibly smoothly. Better than any real compass I have used so far! Thanks for adding the possibility to switch to the true north mode!

Seems not to work as well with my galaxy note 4 as it did with the s4

I like being able to see true direction and the magnetic direction. It can make a big difference in PV solar design.

Great compass app, best I've used. Accurate and well maintained.

The best I've found on the Google play store. Always accurate. Like the features. The ads Can be distracting. Paid for the ad free Version. Only made it better. Thank you.

This is gorgeous and easy to use. Only slight niggle is... do I trust it as much as my Silva compass? If it's as accurate as I hope then this compass is fab.

Unknown error -24 when installing .. please fix it. The ad supported one install without issue .

Works perfectly on SGS4 with CM11. Uses network to determin location to calculate (or get from the Internet) the declination at your current position. Thus it shows both true and magnetic north - both really accurately where I live (Vienna). You can set the sensor update frequency to low (which is enough) to conserve energy. Totally recommended! Nicely done programmers!

I have two compass apps on the same phone (S5). This one never knows where North is.

S70%
by S####:

Works stable and incredibly smoothly. Better than any real compass I have used so far! It would be nice if there was a setting to let the compass rose point to true north instead of magnetic north.

S70%
by S####:

Accuracy is great and really smooth. It also works without location services, which is nice.

Great app. Here are my suggestions: Remove your logo, the calibrate and rotate buttons from top, and put them in the three dot menu, as they are basically just clutter on the main screen. Sort out the gps coordinates at the bottom: (the left justify, in full width container just looks wrong). Sort out the landscape orientation view (or remove it), as you have lots of unneeded bits showing up there. Finally, maybe look at adding an azimuth feature, 'compass' by RHB is a really good example of implementation.

After a lot of compasses used , this is the best ever. Great app with great accuracy.

S70%
by S####:

Very disappointed, after paying for Pro version you need to open free version and then click the pro icon every time you use it. Seems a very underhanded approach to get advertising revenue on first opening . Bring back the dedicated pro icon

Haven't tried in earnest yet but this compass fires up and works immediately. Would like to be able to damp the needle movement but in no way a detraction at all, just a personal preference. Cheers, Jon

Y70%
by Y####:

After a while it points the right direction. But it keeps rotating in circles. Useless if you don't know north in advanc, how do you trust it ? I his it's a hardware issue treasury than software. Digital compasses are useless.

New to it still learning about it and settings app. Don't understand why u have to download two separate apps

What do you want from an app like this?? Put simply, you would like it to work, you would like it to be accurate, you would like it to be consistent & would like it to represent good value for money. It ticks all the boxes for me, hence the 5 stars. Plus it works on the phone & my tablet which makes it a go anywhere app & could in certain situations, be a life saver. Galaxy Note 10.1 & Galaxy S5. Thank you Mr Developer, IMHO, an excellent app ;-)

Would be even better if it could take bearings with a fingerklick for navigation. True navigaators would appreciate beeing able to shoot various bearings and save them temporarily with time stamp.

very useful compass

X70%
by X####:

User options are focused to core function so compulsive-obsessive screen pokers should look elsewhere, there are no shiny-shiny gimmicks here. CPs design is nicely thought out and professionally programmed. End result: the app pulls the best out of the limitations of mobile device tech hardware and really does do what it says on the tin - serving up optimal accuracy and useful info in an ease-of-use package. All cred to the developers for leaving me with no hesitation in shelling out for the pay version.
