Most kids can name the Pyramids — but which way ARE they from your house? Compass Quest turns your child's device into a magic compass that points at real world wonders. STAND UP AND TURN Every day brings a new quest: "Find Machu Picchu!" Hold the device flat, turn slowly, and follow the hot-and-cold clues until the golden needle LOCKS ON. That moment — feeling that Peru is *that way* — is geography no textbook can teach. GUESS THE DISTANCE Before the answer is revealed, take a guess: how far away is it? Nail it for bonus stars. RANGE EXPLORER — A GAME OF SCALES Choose your ring: 100 km (day-trip wonders), 1,000 km (a plane ride away) or 10,000 km (the far side of the world). Point anywhere, lock the direction, and guess which famous landmark lies that way at that scale. Match it to earn the compass-rose stamp! FILL YOUR PASSPORT 121 hand-picked wonders across all 7 continents — from the Eiffel Tower to Easter Island, the Serengeti to Santa Claus Village.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Compass Quest at none against Speaking Dictionary's shown. Speaking Dictionary's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
