About Compass
Compass is a clear, focused magnetic compass for finding your bearing without clutter.
• EASY TO READ — A smooth compass dial with a glowing north needle, fixed index mark and eight directions: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W and NW.
• PRECISE BEARING — See the current heading in degrees alongside the matching eight-point direction.
• CALIBRATION AWARE — A live magnetic-field confidence indicator makes it clear when metal, magnets or nearby vehicles may affect the reading.
• BUILT FOR THE MOMENT — Full-screen presentation and subtle direction feedback keep the view calm while you turn.
• PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account, ads, analytics, camera, location permission or network transfer. Compass runs with your device's built-in sensors.
For best results, keep the phone away from magnets and metal objects. If the reading looks unstable, move the phone in a figure-8 motion for a few seconds to calibrate it.
