Pub Compass

Discover nearby pubs fast with Pub Compass. Follow the arrow, scan with Radar, or plan a Pub Crawl. Filters, saved routes, and Google-powered data for easy nights out.

Discover pubs the fun way with Pub Compass — a playful, map-powered companion for spontaneous nights out and planned crawls alike. Whether you’re hunting for the closest open spot, plotting a multi-stop route, or just want a sleek compass to point the way, Pub Compass turns pub discovery into an experience.

What makes it different? Pub Compass blends three unique navigation modes with a light game layer and simple, useful filters. You’ll earn ranks as you discover places, save your favourite crawls, and switch pointers to match your style. It’s fast, focused, and designed for walking—while still supporting driving when you need it.

Core features:

• Compass mode: A clean, highly legible pointer that locks onto nearby pubs. Choose how many to show, filter by rating, outdoor seating, or “open now,” and follow the arrow.
• Maps mode: Turn-by-turn clarity powered by Google routes. See ETA, a simplified map, and a route-following pointer that adapts to your movement for smoother guidance.
• Radar mode: A cinematic sweeping “slice” reveals pubs within one mile around you. Watch the scan highlight nearby spots as you move and explore.
• Pub Crawl: Generate or open a saved route and walk it step by step. Resume progress if you paused mid-crawl, and view post-crawl stats. Save routes by name, reload them later, and refresh place details with a tap.
• Discovered pubs list: View the places you’ve found, neatly ordered with your current level and rank.
• Filters that matter: Minimum rating, review counts, outdoor seating, and open-now—all applied to compact suggestions around you.
• Powered by Google: Accurate place data, smart routing, and reliable results in major cities and neighborhoods.

Designed for simplicity:

• One-tap controls and large, readable buttons.
• Floating Home access anywhere.
• Minimal overlays that never get in your way.
• Light, polished visuals with subtle shadows and clean typography.

Smart behavior:

• Automatically pulls nearby suggestions when your location updates.
• Prioritizes walk-friendly results, with a gentle reminder when switching to drive mode.
• Calculates straight-line and route-based distances, adapting units for short walks.
• Efficient fetching and caching to keep the app snappy.

Who it’s for:

• Pub explorers who prefer discovery over scrolling.
• Groups who want quick, saveable crawl routes.
• Anyone who loves a well-designed compass that just works.

Privacy and permissions:

• Pub Compass uses your location to suggest nearby places and build routes. You control location access at all times.
