A beautiful compass that just works.
Compass ⊘ puts a brass antique compass in your pocket. Open it and the needle is already pointing north — no account, no setup, no clutter.
FIND YOUR BEARING
• A large, readable dial you can take in at a glance
• Your heading in degrees, from 0° to 359°, named as a compass point
• A gentle tap as you cross north, east, south and west, so you can hold a bearing without staring at the screen
• True north or magnetic north, whichever you navigate by
SEE IT IN THE REAL WORLD
• Hold up your device and the compass points float on the horizon, over the live camera
• Or set a 3D compass down on a table, a rock or the floor, and walk around it
• Useful for orienting a paper map, siting solar panels, aiming a dish, or settling an argument about which way is north
KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
• The street and town you are standing in
• Your altitude, in both feet and metres
• A satellite map that turns as you turn
MADE FOR THE OUTDOORS
• The needle needs no signal, so it works far from any tower
• Six compass faces to choose from
• Built for iPhone and iPad
Free to use. One optional purchase, never a subscription, removes the ads and unlocks the map and the other compass faces.
Accuracy depends on your device's sensors. Keep it away from magnets, speakers and metal for the steadiest reading, and wave it in a figure eight when iOS asks to calibrate.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Does what's supposed to do in a beautiful and straightforward way. The graphic interphase is impeccable! Great Job!!" — Abruna
"As a boater I can reference position of our boat. I then determine the direction of wind/rain and effect it will have on mooring lines." — Popeye, SF Bay
"Had the grandsons out hiking and found moss and confirmed north. Very handy app." — Moon water 62
"Use it a lot when showing houses. I'm able to see which direction the front door, bedroom windows etc are facing. Very accurate, I highly recommend it." — Ijdeluxe1
"Super easy to use and accurate. Use it to know where to spot the Space Station and it is spot on." — DirtDawgGolfer
"Downloaded this app while in the middle of swamp in order to prove which direction was north. Won 20 bucks. Great app." — Fuzzyrc1
I suppose I should say that obviously the compass does point north just as it should when you are in areas with cell coverage. Of somewhat more use is the fact that when you are in the Yosemite high country/back country where there is no cell reception the compass still points north and is fully functional.

Compass is a simple yet well designed and effective navigation application. Upon purchase if the free version users will get a classic compass interface that displays above the main design your location and the compass itself the coordinates steadily changing dependent on your movement. The app also has a paid version that will allow you to customize the compass interface using different themes and removes the ads as well. Compass works well as a guide for those who are using or are dependent on an iPhone or iPad device.
Crash on launch
murphy62
The app crashes on launch on my iPad 3 using the final version of iOS 9. None of the later versions of iOS can be installed on an iPad 3.The app has been updated and now works on my iPad 3. I increased the rating to 5. A very nice app and support is outstanding.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback. We do confirm the latest version of Compass ⊘ has issues with iOS 9.3.x. We will soon release a new update to fix this problem. Thank you for your patience and we apologies for the inconvenience.
Beautifully simple

This works fast and well, and gives GPS coordinates too, which I use in my water well business. It is the opposite of bloatware, and infrequent updates are fast. I wish more apps were like this.
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback!
New: the AR compass. Point your camera at the world to see north, south, east and west on the horizon, or place a 3D compass on a table or the floor.
The bottom toolbar has been redrawn, so it stays sharp on every screen.
