Description

This is a compass app. It supports magnetic and true north. Furthermore, it shows the current location coordinates, which can be copied, shared and send to other apps.

Additionally, this compass shows the magnetic field strength, which is helpful when searching for interferences. The precision of the compass sensor can be adjusted in the settings. Moreover, this compass is optimized for high resolution displays.

Important:
To make sure this compass is accurate, calibrate the sensors in your device and keep it away from magnetic fields. Furthermore, when using this compass hold your device flat to the ground with the display facing the sky, like you would with a mechanical compass.

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.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Excellent tool to assist you in direction. Very accurate. Easy to use. You should never get lost with this app.

5 ★Great app. Read every direction well. Would pay for this if I had to. Yep, THAT GOOD!

1 ★Tried calibrating several times, location services on and off.. compass was always off by about 90 degrees.

5 ★Avid outdoorsman. This app is an outstanding tool to assist in maintaining location awareness while in the high timber country. Thank you for your hard work.

5 ★Downloaded the app because I was viewing some astrological bodies I read about online. I installed the app, went outside and the planets were precisely where my research predicted they should be.

5 ★This is a great compass. Very accurate. I have a cabin on the river and downloaded this app for walking through the swamp to fishing holes and sloughs. Does a great job of getting me there and back.

5 ★This app helped me when I was lost in a big city and the gps kept telling me to turn east or north and I had no idea which direction that was. I downloaded this app and found my way with a paper map and this compass app!!! Suggestion, the calibration instructions are not clear. Is the phone flat in your hand facing the sky or upright for calibration? Thank you!

5 ★Never used a better compass.. its quite accurate and easy to read. Thank you

5 ★Gives perfect directions ,even useful for solar installation process and markings

5 ★I use this app all the time in conjunction with Google Maps. The direction Maps often thinks I'm walking in is completely wrong and Compass is a good sanity check.

5 ★Fits my purposes. I use it from time to time...nothing scientific... or requiring exact directionals. But I like it.

5 ★This is a quick, accurate, easy to use compass that now replaces the magnetic compass I used to carry, lightening my load and saving me space. Used in conjunction with my OnX Hunt app, it also replaces my slow and finicky hand held GPS. This combination, all in my phone, is more accurate, more detailed, and easier to use. I could not be more pleased with this compass app.
