Altitude Compass is a practical tool designed for outdoor trips, hiking, camping, mountaineering, and everyday location checks. Open the app to view your current altitude, compass direction, current location, and outdoor environment data, helping you quickly judge direction, understand your surroundings, and get ready before every outing. Core Features: 【Real-Time Altitude】 Clearly displays your current altitude and provides an altitude accuracy reference, making it easier to understand elevation changes outdoors. 【Direction Compass】 A simple and intuitive compass shows your current heading and angle information, helping you quickly identify direction in outdoor scenarios. 【Current Location】 After successful positioning, the app displays information about your current area.

Local records are kept until the app is uninstalled. 【Simple Interface】 A dark outdoor-style interface with a clear information hierarchy. Key data is visible at a glance, reducing complex operations and making the app more direct to use. Suitable For: Hiking, mountaineering, camping, cycling Outdoor direction judgment Checking current location and altitude Recording location history Viewing environmental information while traveling Daily checks of latitude, longitude, air pressure, humidity, sunrise, and sunset Altitude Compass does not aim to stack complex features. Instead, it brings together the data most commonly used outdoors: altitude, direction, environment, location, and records. Whether you are on a short trip or doing everyday outdoor activities, you can quickly open the app and view key information. Note: Altitude, location, weather, air pressure, latitude, longitude, and other data may be affected by device sensors, location signals, network conditions, and system permissions. The data is for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for professional surveying, rescue, aviation, marine navigation, or high-risk outdoor activities.

You can't see it. But it's there. The magnetic field humming off the wiring in your wall. The strange spike beside the crib. That cold, prickling sense at 2 a.m. that something in this room is… off. Your iPhone has carried a real sensor for it all along — its magnetometer. Veil is the app that finally lets it speak. HONEST IN A SEA OF FAKES Most "EMF" and "radiation detector" apps are theater. Your phone has no antenna for Wi-Fi or 5G, so those dramatic "radiation" numbers are invented. Veil measures the one thing your phone genuinely can: real magnetic fields, in microtesla — the same quantity the classic EMF meters read. Everything you see is real. PROFESSIONAL — FOR WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW The outlet behind the headboard. The nursery beside the breaker panel. Sweep slowly and watch the reading rise and fall against Earth's natural range. The Guided Home Check walks you room by room and hands you a clean report to keep — trade the late-night wondering for an answer. HOTEL & RENTAL CAMERA SWEEP (PRO) Checking into a hotel or Airbnb? Veil guides you spot by spot — smoke detector, TV, alarm clock, outlets, vents, mirror — and flags the magnetic and metal traces electronics leave behind. A clear-eyed sweep for the hidden cameras you can't see. (Inspect by eye too: a magnetometer is a clue, not proof.) GHOST — FOR WHEN YOU WANT THE CHILL Kill the lights. The K2 lamp bar flares as the field shifts around you. Four anomaly levels, eerie skins, a shareable Activity Score. Pure entertainment — and ridiculously fun to film. ZERO PERMISSIONS, ZERO CREEP No location, no microphone, no camera, no account, no ads. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Free to detect. Veil Pro unlocks recording & replay, PDF/CSV export, unlimited reports, the hotel camera sweep, every ghost skin and 100 Hz precision — as a Lifetime unlock, a Yearly plan with a 3-day free trial, or a Weekly pass for a single Halloween week. Readings are for reference, not health, safety, or medical advice. Veil measures magnetic fields only; it does not measure Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G or other RF. Ghost Mode is for entertainment. — Veil Pro — Unlock all professional features with Veil Pro: • Weekly — $1.99 (auto-renewable) • Yearly — $9.99 with a 3-day free trial (auto-renewable) • Lifetime — $14.99 one-time purchase Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Altitude at none against Veil's 3. Altitude also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
