Loxley Compass & Level

About this app

A compass and a bubble level in one app. That's it. No ads, no sign-up, no location, and nothing watching what you do.

Tap Compass to see which way you're facing: a clear dial with N, E, S and W, a big degree readout, and the cardinal direction underneath. It reads correctly whether the phone is flat in your hand or held upright in front of your face. Tap Level and the same screen becomes a bubble level for hanging a shelf or checking a tabletop. The bubble turns green and reads LEVEL when you're flat.

When the magnetometer drifts, the app says so and offers a one-tap fix. The calibration screen shows a figure-8 to trace in the air and a live accuracy meter, so you can see it climb from Unreliable to High instead of guessing.

Most maps use true north; your phone senses magnetic north. If you need the difference, open True north, read the declination for your area off a printed map or chart, and type it in. The app applies it to your heading and remembers the setting. It does this by hand on purpose, so it never has to ask for your location.
