Holy Compass
Read full descriptionHide full description
Find the direction toward Jerusalem with a clear compass, simple guidance and a gentle Star of David cue when the phone is aligned. Choose your current city offline, enter coordinates or use your device location. Available in English and Hebrew, with light and dark appearance and optional degree readings. The compass works without an account. Location and compass calculations stay on your device. There are no ads or in-app analytics. Hold your phone flat and keep it away from metal and magnetic accessories. Direction guidance depends on location and compass quality and may be approximate. The alignment cue does not establish precise accuracy. Use the compass before prayer; it is not a navigation tool or a religious ruling. Adults can send private suggestions, contact messages and dedication requests from the app. A local age check does not save or send your birth date. Dedications are reviewed privately and are not automatically published. Authorized administrators can manage requests and choose device notifications. Optional one-time support purchases help maintain Holy Compass and develop our apps. They unlock no feature, subscription or dedication. Prices are shown by the App Store in your local currency. New: use the Open Prayer Direction shortcut with the iPhone Action button, Shortcuts, Home Screen or Back Tap. A step-by-step setup guide is included in Settings.
