Fantastic product. Bought the pro version of "the most popular android compass" but the doggone thing could not find north in the middle of an empty field with no magnets nearby. Figure eight waving seemed to help but a hour later the compass was 90 to 100 degrees off. Could be the phone (Motorola Ace 5G). So I loaded the "most sold" compass. It seemed accurate but the deluge of ads could only be stopped for a $10 bribe. Then I loaded Compass Steel. It just worked -- donated $10.

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.
