About this app

Looking for a free, easy, and powerful Metal Detector app?
Turn your smartphone into a magnetic field scanner and metal finder using its built-in magnetic sensor — no extra hardware needed! Whether you're curious, exploring, or just having fun, this tool is designed for both practical use and entertainment.

🧲 What is this app?
Metal Detector is a smart Android app that measures magnetic field strength using the magnetometer sensor available in most smartphones. It helps you find metallic objects like nails, screws, pipes, studs, keys, and other magnetic materials by detecting field changes.

📱 How does it work?
The app reads real-time magnetic field values (in microTesla - µT) from your device’s sensor. When it senses a sudden rise or abnormal magnetic values, it means there may be metal nearby. The Earth’s natural magnetic field typically ranges from 30 µT to 60 µT — any significant spike indicates something metallic is close.

🛠️ Key Features:

Real-time digital magnetic field readings 📊
Graph View – Visual spikes in magnetic levels 📈
Meter View – Needle-style detector gauge 📟
Sensor Value – Live microTesla sensor data 🔢
Simple & modern user interface 🎨
Lightweight & battery-friendly ⚡
Works fully offline – No internet needed 📴
Low storage usage – Small APK size 💾
No login or permissions required 🔐

🔍 Use Cases:

Detect screws or nails in wooden walls 🔩
Locate metal pipes under tiles or ground 🛁
Check for magnetic objects in appliances 📦
Perform science experiments or fun tests 🧪
Explore magnetic fields around your house 🏡
Useful for DIY projects and builders 🛠️

⚠️ Important Notes:

Your phone must have a built-in magnetic sensor (magnetometer).
This app will not work on devices without this sensor.
According to our testing, about 86% of Android phones do support magnetic detection.
Try on a different phone if it doesn't work on yours.
Do not use near magnets, electronics, or magnetic covers as they may affect accuracy.

📏 Detection Range:
Based on our tests on 40+ devices, the average detection range is around 15–25 cm, depending on the strength and quality of the magnetic sensor in your device.

📲 Compatibility: Compatible with most Android smartphones and tablets running Android 5.0 and above. Sensor performance may vary depending on the manufacturer and model.

🎁 Pro Tips:

For better results, hold your device steady and move it slowly.
Keep the phone away from other electronic devices while scanning.
Use in a quiet environment for distraction-free detection.

🙌 Thank You! Thank you for choosing our Metal Detector app!
We hope it brings you both fun and practical use. Start exploring the hidden metallic world around you today! 🧲🔍📱

I was really impressed with the "Smart Metal Detector" app! It's super easy to use and surprisingly accurate. I've used it to find lost keys and even some cool old coins in my backyard. The interface is clean and simple, and the sensitivity adjustments are really helpful. Definitely worth downloading if you're into treasure hunting or just want to find stuff you've lost around the house!

This Smart Metal Detector Andriod app accurate and convenient to use for close range metal detecting. This app is ideal for table top or panning within arms reach. Give it a try, you'll be surprised by it's ability. I used it with my friends kids while in vacation at the river and they scanned the buckets of rocks and dirt they collected from around the rivers edge for hours!!!
