About

Happy Compass

Features
Read full description

A new wellness compass that records your "walk toward today's lucky direction" with a live GPS radar. "Happy Compass" calculates the best direction to walk today from your birth date and the current date, then tracks your progress toward it in real time on a GPS radar. Your position is plotted on a radar centered on your start point or home, so you can see at a glance whether you're heading the right way — and your achievement turns into points you collect. Built on the traditional wisdom of Nine Star Ki, reimagined to fit naturally into your daily walking routine. The walk itself is the real luck — even without a perfect reading, we just want to give you a reason to step outside and move. ■ Main Features - GPS Walk Radar: see your position and progress toward the lucky direction in real time. Switch the range between 1km / 10km / 50km - Real-time direction compass: an arrow guides you toward today's direction - Direction from home: save your home and check today's lucky direction anytime - Today's recommended directions: gentle picks for a walk or short outing - Step display: check today's steps (Health integration, optional) - Apple Watch support: direction, walk radar, and mood log on your wrist - Lucky points: keep walking to level up and collect badges (free) - Today's message: a gentle line to accompany your day ■ New in Version 1.1 - GPS walk radar tracker: real-time position and progress toward the lucky direction - Real-time direction compass - Direction-from-home check - Step display (Health integration) - Apple Watch support - Lucky points (gamification) ■ Premium (optional) The core features — walk radar, compass, and lucky points — are free. Premium unlocks: - "Go Deeper": detailed readings of your type and today's rhythm - Today's Top 3 recommended directions - Browse past and future dates - Ad-free experience - Monthly and Yearly plans are available, each starting with a 30-day free trial (the Yearly plan is the best value). - The exact price is shown on the purchase screen in your local currency. 【Subscription details】 - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. - The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged the same amount within 24 hours prior to the end of the period. - You can manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on your iPhone after purchase. - Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a paid plan. Terms of Use: https://ricefish.com/content/hc-t.html Privacy Policy: https://ricefish.com/content/hc-p.html The directions and messages in this app are reference information based on the traditional ideas of Nine Star Ki, and are not medical, health, or other professional advice.
