Magnetometer - Free Android App with No Ads

"Magnetometer" is a free Android app that utilizes your device's built-in magnetometer to measure ambient magnetic fields in micro-Tesla units. This app features settings for audible alarms and vibrations for high field detection, along with sensitivity adjustments. Users can calibrate the device by shaking or using a figure 8 motion if readings are not accurate. Please note that not all devices have a built-in magnetometer, and compatibility is indicated at startup.

App summary

Info:

Not all android devices have a built-in magnetometer, so please be advised that it may not work with your device.
Icon and text will indicate if device is compatible once application starts.
Accuracy is dependent on manufacturer.
A magnetic field sensor (also known as magnetometer) reports the ambient magnetic field, as measured along the three sensor axes.
The measurement is reported in the x, y, and z fields and all values are in micro-Tesla (uT).


Settings:

For audible alarm and vibration on high field detection click on respective buttons to toggle.
Change alarm sensitivity by clicking on reading and swipe seek bar to set.


Calibration:

If output readings fail it attempt to calibrate by gently shaking the device or waving the device in a figure 8 pattern.


Permissions:

Vibration: select whether device should vibrate when high signal is detected.

It is a very simple and nice measurement tool, it would be nice to have the option to switch to Gauss instead of Tesla

Once ib launched the app, it gave a high pitch alarm. On closing the app the sound kept going. Had to reboot the phone.
