About this app

Digital Field Compass is a powerful and simple magnetic compass app, with all the information you need on one clear screen. This easy to use Android compass app has a unique sighting screen to take and store bearings to help keep you on track.

NOW with selectable new Holo dark themes.

The app shows your heading on an analogue compass, together with a digital centre panel displaying your heading in degrees.

Your compass heading and bearings are referenced to True or Magnetic North. You can also adjust the Declination for your current location.

Record up to three compass bearings using the three middle buttons on the top tool bar. The bearings can be displayed around the compass and can be used to get a three point compass fix. ICS compatible with no menu options.

Can be used in a marine environment for sailing, boating (now includes pitch and roll fields)

A great compass to use when hiking, hill climbing, walking or for general outdoor navigation and map reading training.

Anyone interested in Orienteering should download this compass app as a backup compass.

Other features: -

➤ Night mode with dimmed red colours.
➤ Orientation field i.e. (N,S,E,W,NE,SW etc)
➤ True North reference option

I really wanted to like this, even with all the ads. It seems accurate once the internal compass has been calibrated by another app or the "figure eight" method. It has decent graphics and features. However, keep it set to report magnetic azimuth and adjust for declination yourself. I could find no way to adjust to true azimuth. I've never heard of a 82 deg. west declination but that is what it was reporting, in my 13 deg. east locale. Calibrated, it works as a magnetic compass ONLY. Be sure to account for your local declination. Too bad, because it has promise otherwise. ON EDIT: I missed the easily overlooked manual declination field on the top of the settings page. It is not the toggle! Once set to your local declination value the compass works as it should, I like it, will upgrade to the paid version and adjust my rating accordingly from 2 to 5 stars. My only recommendation would be to place that field under the toggle for magnetic/true.

This compass app has everything I was looking for, including a FREE THEME for night use. The readings are very accurate, and, compared with other compass apps, this one is very lightweight.

Best of all compasses. Happily paid to get the pro. Calibration and true north options are very important. Highly accurate. I just wish that North would be marked more clearly in a different color.
