About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. Clean UI. Would be cool to have different types of meter designs to choose from & also to locate where the magnetometer on the phone is but seeing as it's free the different designs/themes could be a purchase option? Its great to see an app with no ads 😁 Thank you! 🙂

I found it a great tool to detect magnetic fields. Very fast response. I found it also seems to detect space weather. Avg reading is 50ut but read 120 for two dayys during the widely publicized solar storm. And recently in our outdoor rural setting it rose to 620 and our power flickered and went out. The reading stayed high for 20 minutes before suddenly dropping back to normal. Amazing!! Power outage lasted about an hour.

Read all reviews. Installed and checked it out. This app is 1000% legit and on point, it does exactly what is Says. Has no unnecessary permissions, isn't stealing data, and NO ADS OR PAYWALLS. Which is refreshing frankly. I'm going to see what else this developer offers because something that isn't monetized is a rare find on the play store. Impressive.
