About this app

Metal Detector app helps you explore magnetic-field changes using your phone's built-in magnetometer. View live readings, follow a magnetic field graph, analyze sensor data and compare two spots with an easy five-second test.

Magnetic Field Meter
Use the magnetic field meter to view real-time field strength in microtesla (µT), with clear readings and sensor-axis information. Metal detector app responds to changes measured by the phone's magnetic sensor.

Live Magnetic Graph
Watch field strength change over time on a live graph. Observe peaks and trends as you move the device while keeping its orientation consistent.

Magnetic Scan
Check relative magnetic-field levels using a seven-level visual indicator and adjustable sensitivity settings.

Magnetic Field Analyzer
Review magnetic-field magnitude, X/Y/Z sensor values, minimum, maximum and average readings, sample count and sensor accuracy. Pause, resume or reset your analysis.

Spot Test and Spot Comparison
Measure Spot A for five seconds, then measure Spot B. Compare the results to see how magnetic-field readings differ between two areas. Start a New Comparison whenever you want to repeat the spot test.

Sound and Vibration Alerts
Use available sound and vibration feedback to notice stronger magnetic-field readings, with controls in Settings.

Why Use Metal Detector App?
One place for a magnetic field meter, graph and analyzer.
A magnetic field detector based on your device's magnetometer.
Side-by-side spot comparison for checking variations between areas.
Straightforward visuals for exploring field changes.
Sensor measurements that work without an internet connection.

Metal Detector App Works
The magnetometer measures the magnetic field around your phone. Magnets, ferromagnetic materials, electronic equipment, device orientation and surrounding conditions can affect readings. This magnetic field detector reports sensor measurements; it does not identify the source of a change.

Explore Magnetic Field Changes around you
Turn your smartphone into a convenient magnetic field meter for exploring magnetic-field variations at home, in the office, or outdoors. Use the live magnetic graph to observe changing readings, the magnetic field analyzer to examine sensor measurements, and Spot Comparison to compare magnetic-field strength between two locations. Whether you're curious about your phone's magnetometer or want to observe how nearby equipment and different environments affect magnetic readings, Metal Detector Spot Test app provides simple, easy-to-understand tools in one app.

IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS
This is not a dedicated metal-detection or electrical-safety instrument. Metal detector app cannot reliably identify coins, pipes, hidden objects or wiring, or determine their location or depth. Do not use readings to decide whether drilling or electrical work is safe. A built-in magnetic sensor is required, and performance varies by device.

Ratings and reviews

Very subtle indication that there might be a wire there, it could be a nail, might even be a stud!?🧐 it could be a dog hair stuck in your paint! My 22 year old stud finder with a tired battery in it, does a better job! I know it said wire finder, but it didn't find anything really! At this point I have 2 options, I can see if I can afford a infrared unit(?), or start cutting holes in the wallboard, all over the place! D

It worked for me. I was able to locate a wire beneath my floor made of 2x6's, and within an inch of accuracy. Had to observe a little bit and use my brain to figure out how it reacted to current flow. If you say it doesn't work maybe try not expecting everything to perform miracles and do a little problem solving of your own. Don't know why I would need to say this, but first make sure current is flowing through the wire you're trying to find!

Wow, the reviews are certainly polarized on this one. And yeah, I can tell that most of them are identical and obviously fake; shame on the developer. However, I will say this, it worked for me. Hold it over an outlet and watch the number on the display change, then slide it on the wall around the outlet and look for where the number changes similarly. That's where the wire goes. Okay, it might not help you if you want to drill into a blank wall somewhere, but if you're working near an outlet, yeah, it can help. Those who say it doesn't work, do they have the required hardware in their phone? Although I'd hope the app would realize this and say "Nope, this isn't gonna work, sorry, your phone isn't up to the job."
