About this app

Metal Detector is a free detecting metal app that use the device magnetic sensor to measure the strength of magnetic field and turn the device into a metal detector. Metal Detector app let you find surrounding magnetic field, electronic waves or metal(steel and iron) . Once detecting metal nearby, the reading value will increase. It can be use as a body scanner, emf meter, wires finder, pipe finder or even ghost finder scanner.

Metal Detector app(EMF Meter) can display the magnetic field in µT(micro tesla), mG (milli Gauss) or G (Gauss). 1 µT = 10 mG; 1000 mG = 1 G; The magnetic field in nature is about (30µT ~ 60µT) or (0.3G ~ 0.6G) which means if there is a metal presence nearby, the value of the reading should be higher than 60µT or 0.6G.

Cautions
- Not all device has magnetic sensor. Please check it in your phone specification. If your device does not have one, no metal detector app(emf meter) application can work on your device.
- The accuracy of this metal detector app(emf meter) entirely dependent on the device magnetic sensor (magnetometer).
- Electronic waves like laptop, television, microphone or radio signals can affect the accuracy of magnetic sensor and the experience of detecting metal. So avoid such places and keep away when using this app.
- This app cannot work on detecting metal that is non-ferrous such as gold, silver and aluminum etc. as they has no magnetic field.

Most ghost hunter use Metal Detectors app(EMF meter) for ghost detection as they claim that ghosts have an influence on magnetic fields. I am not sure about that but please let me know if it’s true.

The only metal it appeared to detect is iron, like cast iron. My magnetic detection in phone are all working excellent and calibrated. Holding over the stove with cast iron grates it did as expected working up to 70+ at 12 inches. Holding over so dishwasher and tin masher and dryer it stayes 28 to 32. Would be a lot better if there was some sort of link to text that tells a little bit about. Its what most new apps are missing nowadays.

I like the app and bought the full version. It's very clear and it does what it says it does. If it fails with your phone, check other compass apps to see if they work. 2 things to the wishlist: 1) the app logo is too amateur compared with the excellent user interface. 2) Can you make the alarm configurable, so one can decide from what level on it starts beeping? Thank you!

this app is gâhBhaj zero stars isnt a valid entry so it gets one... perhaps I'm not I'm not using it correctly but I held it next to metal devices and it registered in the high forties and I held it next to only plastic devices and it registered in the low 40s. I'm talking a range of 43 to 44 up to 48 Max despite the ranges that are listed as Max and Min in the application reader. Perhaps it would be a good idea to put a tutorial in the beginning to show people how to properly use it
