About Compass APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Navigational Compass for Android devices that utilise calibrated hardware sensors.Note: This app can also be used to check if you have hardware sensors and, if so, the accuracy of your sensors (if you already know which way is North.)
Keep in mind that the sensors in your phone may be affected by various objects - metals, phone covers, etc., etc.
So remember to use this app as an approximation only.
Also worth noting: Some devices constantly need their sensors calibrated. Calibration may be achieved by opening this Compass app, or any other Compass type app, then turning your phone over a few times left to right, right to left, front to back, and back to front.
Enjoy!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
