Says it's ad free but the first thing that pops up is a window asking you to agree to share your location as well as other data to serve talored ads and even continue to run the app in the background to do so. It gives you the option to opt out but requires you to give them your Google ad ID in order to do so. This sounds shady as f***.

Needs to opt-out from getting your data collected by them before using the app. In order to do that, you need to look up your ads id. Then, they led you to install another app. Not truly free and no ads like advertising. Most people probably don't even read and just click the accept button.

By far the best one available for Android. Giving you the most confidence your heading is correct. The information factor it provides is a serious factor of C to the 100th power... WOW!!!

Just like it says on Google Play... Just a Compass. It's very responsive to where you're pointing. No ads. Pretty cool tool.

Simple and great app. Does exactly what you need. With some extra info like altitude, sunrise/set longitude/latitude. Def worth downloading.

Looks like probably every compass design I've seen, and works as well ss your phone's sensor allows which is pretty good. No ads.... Thank you developer!

About this app

A simple and easy to use Compass to retrieve useful information about your current position such as true Geographic north and true altitude above sea level.

• Works perfectly offline and without network access
• Geographic north using magnetic declination
• True altitude above mean sea level (AMSL)
• Sunrise & Sunset times
• Azimut angles in deg, grad, mrad, gon
• Various dials and color themes (including high contrast)
• Angle measurement (with dials including measuring capabilities)
• Bubble Level functionnality (available in iPhone dial)
• Use EGM96 as the geoid reference for computing altitude
• Latitude & Longitude in MGRS, UTM coordinate formats
• Latitude & Longitude in DD, DMM or DMS format
• British National Grid (OSGB86) coordinate system
• SwissGrid (CH1903 / LV95 / MN95)
• Magnetic field strength to detect potential perturbations
• Sensor accuracy
• Address of your current location (requires data connectivity)

Compass better works outside where magnetic perturbations are low. Magnetic closure cell phone cases may also disrupt the accuracy of the compass.

EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model) is used as the geoid reference to compute true altitude above sea level from data collected by the GPS sensor. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) is a system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth.

Have fun !
