This compass works great when you're away from a vehicle. However when you're inside a motor vehicle then it's not accurate at all. I would love to see the developer create a feature that would allow you to calibrate the compass for vehicle use so that you can improve its accuracy. This would be in the form of a manual declination adjustment. Having such a feature would be awesome!!! Then you could use the compass with Google maps for road trips.

A compass app that actually works like a real compass with no overcomplicated settings and no ads!! And yes you have to calibrate the compass every couple times you use it, but it only takes 30 seconds at most, and no compass app would be accurate without calibrating every couple of times if not every time you use it, considering all of the metals, magnets and electromagnetic fields that our phones get exposed to throughout the day.

Perfect, simple app. Large, clear display. Multiple display skins - the colorful "luminous black" option is gorgeous. Calibrate by waving in the air a few times, explanatory animated graphic shows how. Calibrated quickly, responds very promptly when I move my phone, good accuracy. Doesn't take up much space on the phone, and only asks for minimal permissions, unlike one of the other no-ads compass apps, which wanted to know practically everything on my phone.
