About

Holy Compass

Read full description

Holy Compass helps you find the calculated direction toward a Temple-site reference in Jerusalem from your current location. Turn your phone with a rotating compass dial, clear cardinal labels and a distinctive Temple marker. Use your device location, choose your current city offline, or enter precise coordinates. Within Jerusalem, the app helps you switch from a broad city selection to a more precise position. Available in English and Hebrew, with light and dark appearance and optional degree readings. Direction calculations run on your device. No account, ads or in-app analytics. Hold your phone flat and away from metal and magnetic accessories. Guidance depends on location and compass quality. The app explains when a usable direction cannot be established. The current reference and method are provisional; precise alignment confirmation and vibration are not active in this version. Use the compass before prayer; it is not a navigation tool or a religious ruling.
