This app provides a Compass as a tile for the Android quick settings menu. It is based on a feature from an old version of CyanogenMod.

Note: Due to how Android™ works, a notification has to be displayed, while the compass is active. You can easily disable this notification by long-pressing on it or on the compass tile.

Download Source Issues

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).
