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.
