What's New in TV Antenna Pointer & Towers

1.2.0

August 22, 2026

The compass now corrects for magnetic declination automatically, so 'Aligned' means true north and matches each tower's real bearing. A new antenna advisor suggests the antenna type and aiming direction for your location, and you get clearer guidance when you're outside US tower coverage. Thanks for the reviews and feedback!

How can they screw up a Compass?

So I’m trying to use this and there’s just absolutely no way you can line up a TV antenna with this app it’s 49° off of what a real Compass says so basically it’s pointing in a whole different direction and I’m just really thankful I don’t have to use this stupid app to find my way home.

Response from developer

Sorry about that. A ~49° error means the compass is reading the phone's raw magnetometer without a good calibration, which nearby metal, cases, or tilting the phone can throw off badly. Two quick things help right now: hold the phone flat and wave it in a figure-8 to recalibrate, and step away from metal/electronics. We're also reworking it to use the phone's built-in calibrated true-north heading so it lines up with a real compass. Thanks for flagging it.
