Compass Galaxy

Needed a compass quickly to determine the direction an object was facing. This compass was quick to download, quick to calibrate, and so far seems accurate (at least enough for my needs). I'd recommend it to others. EDIT: changing review to 3 stars. This workes well in my house (with wi-fi). However, when not in range I could only get a message of "not connected...).

As a pilot, I have a good understanding of magnetic compasses, their strength & weaknesses. When you turn, accelerate, descent or ascend, they act weird turn in all directions, become jittery but eventually they settle down as you and your vessel have settled, that's just the nature of any magnetic compass regardless of price, digital, or simple magnet in a liquid such as alcohol. This app is based on magnetism and acts like one, doesn't like too much metallic mass and erratic movements.5 stars

Simple, straightforward and accurate. I use it often; on the road, in the country and in the city. Ever been in giant sprawling malls, theme parks, etc and lose track of where you are or where you parked your car; those times when GPS isn't all that helpful? Or, been driving on poorly marked secondary roads and the GPS display doesn't recognize the road? Then get this app. Excellent tool to have handy.
