Okay, so what's a good Android app for when I inevitably get lost on our next family hike...because let's be real, it's gonna happen. Needs to be easy, because mama's already stressed!

Girl, you need Digital Compass for Android! It's super straightforward, even I figured it out, and that's saying something. Total sanity-saver for outdoor adventures...or just finding your car in the HEB parking lot.

Okay, so I downloaded Digital Compass for Android after that *incident* last summer where we ended up walking an extra two miles because I thought I knew a 'shortcut' (my husband still hasn't let me live that down). This app is seriously a lifesaver. It's not one of those compass apps that looks like it's from the Stone Age. It's clean, simple, and it just WORKS. Takes literally 30 seconds to set up – I timed it while the kids were fighting over the iPad. I love that I can quickly pull it up to get my bearings, especially when my phone's GPS is being wonky (which, let's be honest, is always). Plus, I can check this while making lunch, trying to plan our next outdoor adventure. Honestly, anything that keeps me from getting us lost again is a win in my book. This app is staying on my phone forever.

Key Features

Super simple interface that even a sleep-deprived mom can use
Accurate directions so you don't end up in the wrong parking lot
Works even when your phone's GPS is acting up (because it always is)

"Simple and accurate. Does exactly what it says."
