This app connects to the BeaconDB public domain wireless geolocation database to provide network based location services. Unlike standard GPS, this works underground and inside buildings. Unlike Google's location services, neither this app nor BeaconDB will sell your location data.

If you are using this app, please install NeoStumbler to contribute to the BeaconDB dataset so you can get a more accurate location from this app.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
