You can compare every tick if the X and/or Y is increasing or decreasing. For the X axis example: If it's increasing, it means its going right. If it's decreasing, it means its going left. It's the same for the axis Y.

The way I explained you don't need the angle. But you also need to explain how is your game in order to know the best way to do it. It is a platform or Top-down?

if your dragging ur object... or u have to touch ur finger on screen... set.angle to direction Touch.x Touch.y thats it .... or set.angle to angle(player.x,player.y,touch.x,touch.y) or ... rotate towards angle = angle(player.x,player.y,touch.x,touch.y) ... . no crazy coding needed

the player.x player.y being the object your drag

known problem - If you move very slowly "backwards" with constant "left/right" corrections you can reverse the arrow straight back but apart from that.... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
