It can also be used as a compass to determine the direction for eating Eho-maki during Setsubun.
Displays directions such as "north-northwest", "east-northeast", "south-southeast", and "west-southwest" in Japanese.
Setsubun in 2026 will be on February 3rd, and the lucky direction is south-southeast.
It is useful as an Eho-maki compass for Setsubun.
We resolved the issue where the app could be installed on devices without a magnetic sensor.
*The compass operates using a magnetic sensor and will not function on devices without one.
We added a feature that detects environments where the compass may be inaccurate and provides solutions.
Features were added to hide banner ads and to use the app offline in places like mountains and oceans.
Please give it a try.
