🏷️ About: TV Antenna Compass USA is a compass app (for iPhone only) designed to help users in the United States point outdoor TV antennas. The app requires the user to enter a US address.
I just downloaded TVAntennaCompassUSA - hoping to find a more robust app that’s accurate and easier to use. Unfortunately, this is the second app I found that shows “searching” and seems to hang after waiting for a few minutes (shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds to find the information). Don’t install TVAntennaCompassUSA - until the bugs have been fixed.
Not accurate.
Can’t argue with accuracy and simplicity when it’s Free. I tried several others that quickly became so confusing I deleted them. Then found this!
My reception is much better after using TVAntennaCompassUSA to aim my antenna. Already told the neighbors!!
TVAntennaCompassUSA is awesome.
It helped me find the towers so that I could see in what direction I could point my antenna.
Now I get a better signal on my television.
Worked perfectly. Thank you!!
Awesome, simple, accurate. Now I know where to point my antenna

Also, in the banner, there is a hamburger menu icon (three lines) that will expand a menu tree which will include options to view a list of channels and broadcast tower info, predicted signal strengths of each channel, a compass heading in degrees of each channel, along with the distance from the entered address to the broadcast tower.
If you are in an area that has broadcast towers in multiple directions and you are using a directional antenna, you will want to choose the location with the best signal strength on all of the major broadcast networks and not expect to receive the channels in the other directions.
If you wish to receive channels from multiple directions, you can consider an omni-directional antenna (this type of antenna will not provide as strong of a signal as a directional antenna in any one given direction) or you can consider using an antenna rotator which will allow you to point your antenna in different directions as needed.
Most outdoor antennas are directional, which means that you will need to find all of the major broadcast towers located in the same general vicinity and point your antenna in the direction of the weakest channels.
The good news is that most locations in the US have all of the major broadcast network towers (ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS, NBC) located in one general area, making it easy for anyone to receive all of these channels with a good directional antenna.
