Editor's Overview

MBCompass is a navigation application developed by Mubarak Basha, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.1 weighing in at 2.16 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 2.16 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Mubarak Basha" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

MBCompass is a free and open-source compass and navigation app
without ads, in-app purchases, or tracking. Lightweight, focused,
and built for real use.

containing any .map file and toggle between online and offline

- Track stats: distance, duration, average speed, elevation gain/loss,

standard mapping tool

App

Not just a compass. Not a full navigation app.

and offline maps without unnecessary complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MBCompass free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does MBCompass require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is MBCompass safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Mubarak Basha. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update MBCompass?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
