Ratings and reviews

Seems quite good, have not used it a lot. I like the list of sensors available on the phone.

Helpful tool. Great app that functions well without any negatives. Thank you!

so far this has been the best metal detector app that I've tried. And I've tried quite a few of them, but I'm only giving three stars because I cannot get it to detect any non-ferrous metals aluminum, Copper, Brass, Etc and it would be nice if it came with more instructions so that you didn't have to do so much guessing.
