Android compass, location app without ads

Hacker News

If you are like me, you would like to have and Android compass application on your device when hiking or exploring new areas. The one I made also has location, altitude and weather. Without ads - which is the main reason I created my own, most of the compass applications I find in the store are useless/frustrating because of the amount of ads. Yes, I know it's very basic, but does what it's supposed to. The apk is availabe under releases https://github.com/ornatwork/Sample-Location/releases
