What’s New Version 1.5
- Always On mode! Tap the compass to brighten the screen and prevent your phone from sleeping. Now you can keep the compass open all day and see the arrow ever so slowly turn (keep your phone plugged in)
- Updated icons! The app icon now supports the new dark and tinted Home Screen appearances in iOS 18
Description
Galactic Compass presents you with a floating arrow with one purpose: to point the direction of the central supermassive black hole of the Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*.
The middle of the galaxy is 26,000 light years.. but which way?
The direction depends on:
- the time of day
- your location
- the position of the Earth in its orbit
It's hard to figure out in your head.
Well now the answer is in your pocket. If you're ever lost, Galactic Compass can show you the way.
