🧲 Metal Scanner turns your phone into a handy magnetic metal detector. Using the built-in magnetic sensor, scan walls, floors and objects for magnetic (ferrous) metal like nails, screws, studs and pipes.
🔍 FIND MAGNETIC METAL
Move your phone near a surface and watch the meter rise as it gets closer to magnetic metal.
⚡ EMF METER
Measure electromagnetic field strength (µT) with a clear, color-coded gauge.
🎯 CUSTOM ALERT LEVEL
Set your own µT threshold and get alerted when a reading crosses it.
🧭 FIELD COMPASS
A tilt-compensated compass rose that follows the local magnetic field — near magnetic metal the heading pulls away from north.
🎛️ MULTIPLE MODES
Metal, gold, silver, EMF, compass and camera modes in one simple app.
📳 INSTANT ALERTS
Sound and vibration when the signal gets stronger.
Note: this app uses your phone's magnetic (magnetometer) sensor — it detects magnetic (ferrous) metal and EMF. It cannot reliably detect non-magnetic metals like gold, silver, aluminium or copper, and is not a professional detector.
