## What is Swift Compass?

We have completely reworked our previous "3D Compass" to a more accurate and stable compass app "Swift Compass".
Swift Compass helps to find your direction and location with high precision at anytime. 
Swift Compass uses gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer to detect directions, device rotation rate to provide a more accurate and stable rotation.

Features:
- Accurate and smooth rotation when finding your directions.
- AR Compass. By using your device's camera lens, you can now navigate while using your camera.
- Live activity. Live activity is an optional feature which you can use to update your direction while Swift Compass is in the background.
- Map View. Map View allows you to use the iOS Map feature to help you navigation while looking at the map.
- Magnetic field detector that detects the magnetic field strength around you.
- Elevation level in meters and feet.
- Bubble level(spirit level) to show whether your device is perfectly leveled.
- Coordinates and place mark of your current location.

Swift Compass is a digital compass app that uses gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer to detect magnetic north or true north. 
Live activity feature allows you to leave your device locked while updating your latest direction. 
Swift Compass is a powerful tool for hiking, camping, outdoor navigation, travel or daily navigation use.
