## Description

**Compass Offline by BRIX-DEV** is a lightweight digital compass for hiking, camping, sailing, travel, and outdoor navigation. It works without GPS, mobile data, or an internet connection by using your Android device’s built-in magnetic sensor to display accurate north, south, east, and west directions.

The app includes magnetic field strength information, a simple interface, and eight customizable themes, including Vintage, Time Machine, Sun, Blue Snow, Ancient Egypt, Mayans, and Aqua. Themes can be unlocked by watching ads, with no payments or subscriptions required. No login is needed, and the app does not store or share user data. A compatible compass sensor is required, and magnetic or metal objects may affect accuracy.
