Quick answer
A compass and bubble level, laid out like the iPhone's
A simple compass and level for Android.
The compass turns a card under a fixed bar so the heading is easy to read, with tick marks, cardinal letters, and your coordinates, place and elevation underneath. Tap the dial to mark a bearing and see how far you have turned off it.
Swipe left for the level: a bubble level when the phone lies flat, and a horizon line when it stands on end. It turns green and buzzes once when level. Tap it to zero against a sloped surface.
No ads, no accounts, no internet permission, no tracking.
How to install
- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
