The free version only includes a small banner ad at the bottom. Features • Bullseye level plus horizontal and vertical levels with 0.1 degree precision. • Compass with true north and magnetic north. • Magnetic declination display for converting magnetic readings to true north readings. • Gyroscope calibration for phones that do not rest perfectly flat. • Gyro or accelerometer sensor mode. • Clean interface with no popup interruptions.

Bubble Level + Compass holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Bubble Level XL's written reviews are positive against 90% of Bubble Level + Compass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bubble Level XL ships an update every 9 months, Bubble Level + Compass every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
