ANDROID'S LEADING COMPASS APP
Featured in “Best Android Apps, The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders”, published by O’Reilly Media, Compass by Catch.com is the most popular compass app available.

NEVER GET LOST
Compass view with location display and geo-tagged notes lets you not only steer in the right direction, but view maps and keep notes of the places you visit.

REMEMBER IMPORTANT PLACES
• Save your favorite places (home, work place, school, restaurant, shops, etc.) or even your car location. Navigate back to them later with Google Navigation.
• Capture and view your location-based notes in your area using the free Catch app.

CHOOSE FROM MULTIPLE COMPASS TYPES
Compass is a free app that includes 4 basic compass types
"Vintage"
• Antique dial, direction names adjust for user's language.
"Digital"
• Outer dial can be manually rotated, green inner dial shows direction name in user's language, crisp pointer movement with no overshoot.
