= 4 stars
Compass and address locator via in-phone GPS.
The Good
- Location and compass reading loads quickly, if you place the phone on a table and it functions like an actual compass with readings for magnetic N, GPS compass setting includes a pitch and roll reading for alignments.
- App displays a direct link to phone settings to enable/disable GPS
- Several different compass skin settings, antique, night-vision, analog, etc.
- Allows location-tagging by GPS coordinates, storing of favorite locations.
The Bad
- GPS drains the battery (more due to the phone hardware than the app)
- Ads sometimes cover the bottom of the app display.
