Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

This app does not aim to replace a compass. What it does is to serve a simple need using the accelerator and magnetic sensors in Android phone to point direction. For some people, you need to know the direction of a placecity reference to your own location. This could be for praying purposes or for locating a place you know earlier. Using this simple app, it point to the direction where you want to know. It will not be as accurate as a dedicated compass but for users with less stringent requirement, this app should suffice. Think of this app as a poor man compass. When using the app for the very first time, tap the Setting icon on top right, choose Set Own Location to set your own location. Then depending on your needs you can tap Set Target Location,Manage Location,Compass Setting to do other setup. The application support English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese display.
