App summary
Metal Detector is in the 3rd set of the Smart Tools collection. EMF detector
<< Metal Detector apps require a magnetic sensor (magnetometer). If this app does not work properly, please check the specifications of your device. >>
This app measures magnetic field with an embedded magnetic sensor.
The magnetic field level (EMF) in nature is about 49μT(micro tesla) or 490mG(milli gauss); 1μT = 10mG. When any metal(steel, iron) is near, magnetic field level will increase.
Usage is simple: Open the app, and move it around. The magnetic field level will constantly fluctuate. That's it!
You can find electrical wires in the walls (like a stud detector) and iron pipes in the ground.
A lot of ghost hunters had downloaded this app, and they had experimented as a ghost detector.
The accuracy depends entirely on your magnetic sensor (magnetometer). Note that it is affected by electronic equipment (TV, PC, microwave) due to electromagnetic waves.

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews.
Google Play Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate,
spammy, or outdated.- Effective in detecting metal close to the device
- User-friendly interface and easy to operate
- Surprisingly accurate for various uses like finding studs or metal objects
- Great for detecting magnetic fields
- Works well without a phone case
- Only detects magnetic metals, not non-magnetic ones like gold or aluminum
- Detection range is limited to a few inches
- Requires specific phone features (like a magnetic field sensor) to work effectively
- Can be misleadingly labeled as a metal detector instead of a magnetic field detector
- Calibration or recalibration can be a hassle when detecting metal
- The app works best at close range
- It's more of a magnetic field detector than a true metal detector
- Accuracy is dependent on the phone's built-in sensor capabilities
- It surprisingly detects metal effectively under certain conditions
- Issues with high readings dropping back to lower levels
