Easy to use virtual compass for Android devices
In these modern times, we rarely need a compass. Nevertheless, it never hurts to have this tool in your cell phone. The Mobile Essentials studio is a specialist in this type of tool for multimedia devices, now offering us a straightforward virtual compass.
An easy-to-use compass for your Android
Compass PRO is a very straightforward app that consists of a screen on which you can see your orientation. It also includes a rotating bezel that can help users to orient themselves better. And that's it; why complicate your life with extra features that you will most likely never use?
It's the compass in your pocket, when you need it and where you need it.
However, this app is not suitable for all terminals because, in order to use it, your device must have a magnetic sensor. If it does, all you need to do to use it is leave the device on a flat surface, just like you would if you were using a physical compass.
If, for any reason, you think that the compass' readings are not accurate, you have to calibrate it. To do this, turn the device in a circular motion as if you were tracing the number eight while avoiding metal and magnetic objects.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.1.
