Compass loses North after couple rotations #6

I like this package, exactly what I was looking for! Lightweight, simple compass. But I notice if I am using, rotate my phone for a few seconds (like when walking) then pause, then move phone again my true north changes where it is pointing. So it is perfect initially but on pause, I am not sure what happens but loses true north.
My Android Phone Test: (against a real compass in my hand)
In my test, I lay the phone flat in palm (right angle) pointing away from my body. True north is correct.
I slowly reverse the phone so it is facing my body (180' turn), still at a right angle. True north is off by 90' or so.
When I continue clockwise to finish my 360 circle and put phone back in original position it slowly gets closer and when I get fully back to where I started, true north is correct.

I see no updates here, are you not managing the package at all?

I created this package for a project I was working on. it worked perfectly for my need. I haven't spent much time on this since then. Feel free to add a PR if you find an issue.
