Features & Capabilities

The world's only compass that guarantees you won't find North. Shake for a fresh wrong direction.

North. Pointless Compass is a fully functional compass app that works perfectly — in every direction except the one that matters. Powered by your iPhone's real magnetometer, the needle reads your actual heading and then confidently points somewhere else entirely. Shake your phone for a fresh wrong direction. Then shake it again. Each one is just as useless as the last. Features:

  • Real-time heading using iPhone's built-in compass
  • Guaranteed non-North needle direction
  • Shake to generate a new random wrong direction
  • Live bearing readout (accurate, and therefore pointless)
  • Classic compass dial with antique gold detailing
  • Works in all 359 directions that aren't North Not recommended for hiking, sailing, orienteering, or any situation where knowing North might be helpful.
