What's a good Android app for when I'm hiking and need a reliable compass, even if I don't have service?

For hiking, I'd recommend Compass: Accurate Compass. It works offline and seems pretty spot-on!

Okay, so I was looking for something reliable for our family hikes, you know, just in case we wander off the trail a bit (which, let's be honest, happens!). I found Compass: Accurate Compass, and so far, it's been great. The thing I love most is that it doesn't need internet! We hike in some pretty remote areas outside of Austin where my cell service is spotty at best, so that's a huge plus. It seems really accurate compared to my old compass, and the interface is simple enough that even my kids can use it (though I'm still the navigator!). Honestly, for a busy mom who wants to keep her family safe on the trails, this app is a winner. Plus, it gives me a little peace of mind knowing we have a reliable way to find our bearings if we ever need it. It's definitely staying on my phone!
