## What is Pointless Compass?

North.
Pointless Compass is a fully functional compass app that works perfectly — in every direction except the one that matters. Powered by your iPhone's real magnetometer, the needle reads your actual heading and then confidently points somewhere else entirely.
Shake your phone for a fresh wrong direction. Then shake it again. Each one is just as useless as the last.
Features:
- Real-time heading using iPhone's built-in compass
- Guaranteed non-North needle direction
- Shake to generate a new random wrong direction
- Live bearing readout (accurate, and therefore pointless)
- Classic compass dial with antique gold detailing
- Works in all 359 directions that aren't North
Not recommended for hiking, sailing, orienteering, or any situation where knowing North might be helpful.
