Useful tools for compass calibration on phones like Motorolas where they kinda forgot at the factory. Plenty of other interesting sensors, tools and data to explore, even on this freebie version. Ads are not too frequent or aggressive.

Looks like the app has many good features and is useful to keep on the phone. I was having seperate issues with the phone that caused me to run into some difficulties- but that was not caused by the app. This should be up higher than play store 28! I'm sure it is actually ha.

3-7-21 It wasn't apparent that settings can modify ad appearance. Full page ads can be changed to a less obtrusive ribbon ads. 3-6-21 Still 1 star. Can't test app. Constant, nagging, full-screen ads. Unusable. Support said that ads come up when you change tools. I was trying all of the tools. If the ads were not full-screen, it would be acceptable for a free app. 3-4-21 Constant, nagging, full-screen ads. Cannot try it out because the many many ads stop me from using it.
