Compass 360 4.3.0.0

Find your bearings and head in the correct direction with help from a digital assistant
When going on a trip in the middle of nature one of the tools that are indispensable to anyone is a compass, as it can guide your steps through the wilderness and point you back towards safety when the road is lost.

In case you do not have the physical object at hand, you can use your Windows Phone and a specialized app like Compass 360 to get the same exact information no matter where you are.

Smooth looks with a responsive display

The appearance of this utility is quite appealing, thanks to the nicely polished graphics that give it a professional look. More so, you have several themes at your disposal so you can change the compass dial whenever you see fit.

The display adjusts its position with every movement and the sensitivity of the indicator is rather high and so is the precision it offers, thanks to the neatly made gradations.

An evident letdown from the visual perspective is represented by the presence of the flashing ad banners at the bottom of the screen that require a purchase to eliminate.

Fast calibration for accurate results and extra options at hand

Compass 360 relies on manual calibration for obtaining the best results and you can easily check out the instructions on how to carry it out. There are two types of bearings inscribed on the compass, one that marks the cardinal points and the other for decimal bearings.

In case you want to get a firm fix on a position, once you established the direction, simply use the "Lock" button to stop the compass needle and make it hold that position.

View the strength of the magnetic field near you at a glance

Another interesting feature that is built-in this application is its ability to display the magnetic field level. This is shown right in the middle of the compass and the numbers adjust in real-time, according to the conditions detected by the device.

The color code is meant to let you know is the parameters are influenced by external factors that may also affect the accuracy of the compass readings.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The beautiful and customizable interface of the application, with its smooth and responsive display makes an excellent impression, but only until the adverts start to wreak havoc.

Function9
 

Thanks to a simple calibration procedure and given its very good readings, all coupled with some supplementary features are enough for this app to score very well here.

Security9
 

The application is pretty safe to use, as it only needs to access the phone identity area for some reasons that are not related to the actual functionality.

Battery7
 

Compass 360 will need a moderate to high amount of power to function normally, so the battery usage is fairly high overall.

Price9
 

Despite the shortcoming of having flashing ads inside, this app performs very well and can be a reliable tool for any user.

Compatibility8
 

Tailored for the more recent handsets, this app will need Windows Phone 8 and above to be installed onto the target device.
