If I'm not mistaken the smart phones derive the compass from GPS which
is true, not magnetic so it wouldn't require a correction.

Thanks Dick. It's also important to realize that accuracy will depend
on the sensors in the phone it's running on, as well as surrounding
stuff as others have noted.
I bought an unlocked Motorola Moto X Pure phone last fall that I like
it lot. I have two compass programs on it that SEEM to work well. GPS
Status and Compass 360. Both automatically correct for declination. I
haven't done a serious test of either of them. The one you recommend
also looks good.

OK, I'll be a bit more specific.
There's an App called GPS Essentials.
No Owls, no bugs, has a very accurate
compass.
