Compass for iPhone

Stylish Compass App — a nicer choice than the built-in tool

Compass is a free, attractive alternative to the iPhone’s default compass and a good substitute when an iPad lacks one. It delivers more than just direction: the app combines useful navigation data with a polished interface, making it practical for everyday use and outdoor activities.

Core functions and readouts

• Displays GPS latitude and longitude for precise location reporting
• Offers elevation in either feet or meters
• Provides sunrise and sunset times for your current location
• Lets you share coordinates quickly with others
• Shows barometric pressure readings when available
• Supports multiple coordinate formats (DMS, DDM and decimal degrees)
• Can switch between magnetic north and geodetic/true north
• Features an attractive, easy-to-navigate design

Who benefits from this app

This app suits hikers, travelers, and anyone needing a dependable directional tool with extra situational data. It’s especially handy on devices without a native compass or when you want a cleaner visual presentation than the stock app provides.

Cost and advertising

The app is free to download and supported by ads. If you prefer an ad-free experience, an in-app purchase removes the advertisements.
