I cannot use application Star Walk with Galaxy J6

[Android Central Question]

The screen remains fixed , when I change the direction.
( If I run the screen to the north, it continues to show me the South !)
I think this a compass pb: When I try to install Compass application, an error message says " no magnetic sensor".
Also , with Google Maps, I cannot calibrate the Compass. And I never see the compass on the map.
Does anyone has the same pb ?
Any idea ?

YOur phone doesn't have a magnetic sensor so any app etc requiring one will not work properly.
"Does anyone have the same pb?" It's not exclusive to you.

The message "no magnetic sensor" is not so much a clue, as a complete explanation.

Thanks everybody for answers.
I understand my phone is not compatible with application like Star-Walk.

The application 'Star Walk" during the installation should check this feature (magnetic .) and stop it, if it is not included or send and warning message.
Overwize, we are loosing a lot a time, trying to make it work.
Thabnks a lot.

^ The app ought to show "Not compatible with this device" you mean, so that you do not waste more time? If you do mean that, I agree. Perhaps that means that the app is badly-written; I don't know. @Rukbat would probably know, if he happens to see this.
