5/5FINALLY...!
All compasses have one thing in common; they have a magnetized pointer/needle showing the direction of magnetic north- and - compasses communicate to the reader in which direction they are heading. For the most part, most compasses successfully function like this. However, before the “N Compass” came along, the N, S, E and W letters were not immediately discerned. I love this compass as a world traveler. I open the app and, “BOOM! There it is! Without ever having to hesitate or search for the N, S, E and W letters, the N Compass is in your face with large and bold white letters in black background; simple, fast and dynamic - another simple breakthrough with genius at its helm.

5/5My dream come true.
Always thought of an App like this and was wondering why anyone come up with something like this. Instead of always wondering why anyone can’t think of something like I do I should rather go ahead and create it but, I am not gonna take part of this cuz I accept I am dumb to ever create an App. This is why, I admire, respect and applaud the creators of such simple yet complete, bright and ingenious useful tool. Hopefully the accuracy gets better with time support or users.

5/5Simple, EASY to use compass!
Love this compass! No confusing “clock-like” dials for this navigation-challenged user😂 The app uses large, simple N, NW, W, NE, etc letters tgat fill the phone screen to tell you exactly what direction you’re facing. It even shows the degrees in numbers but I mostly love the simple, large letters telling you the dirx you’re facing. Many cars have a compass as part of their trim package but having the compass on my phone is so convenient for hikes, finding the direction of a moonrise, etc.

5/5Hooray! I know where I am!
Finally! An app that immediately tells me what direction I am facing! No mumble jumble, no having to read a complicated compass. Open the app, stand in the questionable direction and BOOM! In large letter—-NE! Move a tad, still holding your table, BOOM! NW! I love this app! Now when my friends ask, “In what direction does your home face?” BOOM! I can tell them. I’m going to get this on my Smart Phone too...because when it comes to directions, I am challenged.

5/5Great compass
I've been looking to buy a little compass to put on my dash of my car, but now I don't need to. I deliver prescriptions for a Pharmacy to towns i've never been to before. It easy to get turned around, but not with this compass. When the mapping directions say "turn North" I always know which way to go. This compass has been a lifesaver and it is very accurate. I love it!!
