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.
