Why

Why doesn’t the compass point to North when I face North? I am facing due south and the compass is indicating west. I don’t see anyway to calibrate it.

Response from developer

Sorry for the frustration! Compass accuracy can be thrown off by magnets or metal nearby — the latest version includes a built-in calibration prompt (move your phone in a slow figure-8) plus a North Reference toggle in Settings that might help. Let us know if it's still off after that.

Very good

Yeah very good. And happy with this

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words — really glad you're enjoying Compass Guide!

Didn’t work

Installed on my phone but it wouldn’t open. Just got a green screen.

Response from developer

Sorry you ran into that! We shipped a fix for an app-startup issue in a recent update (v1.1.0) that could cause a blank screen on launch. Could you update to the latest version and let us know if it happens again?

Why does this app show a town not even close to me?

I don't understand this app at all. The needle points to a Town I cannot change. What the heck was the developer thinking? Deleting this now!

Response from developer

Sorry for the confusion — the town name comes from a weather lookup based on your device's location, separate from the compass heading itself. We're looking into making that clearer. Feel free to reach out with more details through the app's support contact so we can dig in!

Wrong direction?

Of 3 apps, this one showed East as being North until I installed another app and checked that the new one agreed with the other 2 apps on my other (android) device, then this app started showing North correctly. Not sure why there was a time gap for this app showing actual North.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We've made compass reliability improvements in the latest version (1.1.0), plus added a calibration prompt and a True/Magnetic North toggle in Settings if the heading ever looks off. Hope that helps!
