Description

Leave your phone in your pocket. When you arrive at a park, Nature's Compass notices and records the visit for you, no checking in, no opening the app. Come back later and it's all there: where you went, how long you stayed, and how far you walked. DISCOVER PARKS NEAR YOU National parks, state parks, beaches, campgrounds and the small green space three streets over. See trails, restrooms, parking, sunrise and sunset times, and what there is to do before you leave the house. VISITS THAT LOG THEMSELVES Arrive, wander, leave. Your phone handles the rest — the park, the time you spent, and the steps and distance you walked while you were there. All in the background, all on its own. COLLECT THE COUNTRY Every park stamps your passport. Watch the map fill in as you reach new states, unlock achievements, climb the levels, and see where you land on the leaderboards. TRACK EVERY WALK Steps, distance, elevation and pace for every park walk, plus streaks, personal records and estimated calories. Sync it all to Apple Health. Start a walk manually anywhere, any time. SHARE YOUR LIVE LOCATION WITH HIKING PARTNERS Heading out as a group? Share where you are with people you pick, for as long as you choose. It only works both ways — you each have to pick the other — so nobody can follow you without sharing back. Off by default, always has an end time, and you can stop it instantly. KEEP A PRIVATE JOURNAL Write down what a place felt like. Journal entries never leave your device and are never shared with anyone. SHARE THE OUTDOORS Post photos and reviews, follow other explorers, and see what people are discovering nearby. NATURE'S COMPASS PRO An optional subscription. Support a solo developer and unlock everything: - Record your walking trail on the park's satellite map - Offline maps for parks with no signal - Trip planner — food, gas and hotels, auto-ordered nearest-first and sent to Apple Maps - Text a trip plan to a friend, straight into their planner - The explored-states map that fills in as you go - Lifetime stats — all-time miles, elevation and records - Export and share your park passport and Parks Recap - Photos on posts and reviews, and shareable walk cards - 11 alternate app icons, custom handle and map pin colors - Unlimited favorites, see who viewed your profile, and a gold Pro badge Nature's Compass is built and paid for by one person. Going Pro is what keeps it growing. PRIVACY Your location is only ever used to find parks near you and record the ones you visit. It is never sold and never shared with advertisers. Your private journal stays on your device.
