About Compass APK
Table Of Contents
Description
A magnetic compass with magnetic declination correction for best accuracy. A compass is an instrument used for navigation and orientation that shows direction relative to the geographic North. Geographic North is computed given the magnetic North and the magnetic declination at your current location. In some places around the world, the magnetic North can be as far as 20 degrees from the geographic North.● Use of GPS or Network location for best accuracy
● Magnetic declination correction
● True altitude above sea level
● Altimeter
● Elevation computation use EGM-96 model
● Supports multiple coordinate formats UTM, DD, DMM, or DMS
● Show Latitude and Longitude
● Sunrise and Sunset times
● Easy calibration
● Show angle in degrees
● Clean design
● Install on SD
● Save places for tracking them
● Create multiple lists of favourite places
● Show shorted path to a place
● Search new places by name or address
● Qibla Compass (find direction of the Kaaba in Mecca)
Place tracking allow you to save your current location for later find its direction from anywhere else in the world!
Note regarding horizontal accuracy:
The device location has an horizontal accuracy that depends on the quality of the GPS signal. The smaller the horizontal accuracy is, the better the location is accurate. In some cases, the horizontal accuracy can be so big that other information can be inaccurate : altitude, distance and direction to a place that is very close to you. Refreshing the location after a few second can give you a better horizontal accuracy.
Note regarding device calibration :
Smartphones use magnetic and orientation sensor in order to compute the direction of the magnetic North. Sensor might be in an unknown state when the application is started. Sensors requires a lot of values to reach optimal accuracy and precision. To do so, move your phone in space in a ∞ figure pattern until the accuracy turns to high.
This application requires permissions in order to compute your location and the magnetic declination for a better accuracy of this compass and to provide you with further information such as true north, true altitude above sea level, direction and distance to any place in the world.

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.

User's Reivew
4 ★My first impression of all apps is how easy they are to use and how quickly one can follow the instructions and start using the app. I gave this app a 4 instead of a 5 simply because I couldn't figure out how to delete the useless directions to cities around the world that I simply didn't need and that took up space. I finally came up with a hard press. Delete the useless major cities directions and I'd be giving it a five.
4 ★Just as the description, free and no ads, it just works. Compare to the true gyro compass onboard commercial ships (which is regularly checked for error), the error of the app is about 10 to 15 degrees. But that might be due to the phone itself. Anyway, it's good enough to find the the normal life daily heading.
5 ★Great application Thank you developer
3 ★I thought it would be handy to have just in case, especially where I live. However, it seems to have issues if you're in just such an area that would need it. I live in the mountains and it has difficulty staying accurate and the compass moves extremely slow trying to keep up with even minor movement or jumps well past the amount moved. Small enough app that I'll keep, but I'd recommend having an actual compass if you plan on needing one.
5 ★I always have it with me when in the mountains and it helped me several times finding the way back to the track!
5 ★Such a useful ap. And to have a simple version without ads is very praiseworthy. Everyone should have this ap. Especially students. Without even trying, it is superbly instructional as far as geometry of a circle and navigation and even understanding analog clocks. A big thank you and well done to the developers of this ap.
3 ★The compass has been great, but recent additional of GPS features have secretly started requesting GPS location without prior consent. I had not opened the app since the new GPS features were added, but my phone detected location requests coming from the app, in the background, without the app having been started yet.
1 ★I already know which direction is north, and this app indicates approximately 57°E as being North, which isn't even True North. And that was just the first time. I've done as the app directed to try to calibrate it multiple times, closed and restarted the app, uninstalled and reinstalled, and every time, Not only that, but this claims to have "No Ads", so why doee it include in the annoyingly frequent pop-up request for Location Access: "Location Access will allow to provide relevant ads"?
5 ★yes , i love it, easy to use , i always used to find direction to sleep, to do.things.it is help ful to achieve my dream, especially in bedroom to find the north pole, moreover it uses the google location, so 200 percent accuracy is there. so nothing to worry. another advantage is there, can find the accuracy of the place, city, where we are living. i recomend this application to my friends and relatives, my co workers. please download this Application , start to use.. moreover can use inplace
2 ★I am truly familiar w/my city, but not all neighborhoods . Due to several frwy onramp closures, Waze kept directing me further away from my comfort zone, and my sense of direction was off. To redirect myself, I pulled out the app and it FAILED! Nothing I did could make it work. I was lost, scared and frustrated 40 miles from home, alone at 2am. Why 2 stars? Im giving it the benefit of the doubt. Why, i dont know.
4 ★The app works well standing still but not so much when moving faster than walking speed. While driving, the app did not recognize the car turning and wound up putting the sunrise to the South when I was facing North. It corrected itself after the car came to a stop.
4 ★seems accurate enough, however 4 stars because the "agree with the terms" screen said something about collecting my phone inventory, but then neither the terms of service it privacy policy said anything about inventory, so I'm still unsure what inventory they're collecting... installed app list? places I've been? i just don't know.
