About

Pocket Compass started as a shared notes document between a few friends who kept texting each other 'how did you beat this boss?' at midnight. At some point the document got too long, so we turned it into a site. That's the whole origin story, and we like keeping it that honest.,We cover mobile games across every genre we can get our thumbs on. The rule is simple: someone on the team has to actually play a game, all the way through the parts we write about, before a single word goes up. If we got stuck, we say so. If a tutorial lied to us, we say that too.,Picking what to review is mostly about curiosity. We watch what's trending, read what readers email us, and sometimes just chase a weird-looking screenshot. Popularity helps a title get on the list faster, but a quiet gem gets the same treatment once it earns our attention.,Everything here is written by the small editorial team, not auto-generated and not sponsored. We'd rather publish fewer guides that we trust than flood the page with half-finished ones.
