โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Not Particularly Accurate, Choked With Ads!
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Well it detected the metal it was pressed against, at least, but I could've seen that without the app

Description by Rich Dev Apps Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.

๐Ÿงฒ 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.

๐Ÿ“ฑ 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.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Key Features:

Real-time digital magnetic field readings ๐Ÿ“Š
Graph View – Visual spikes in magnetic levels ๐Ÿ“ˆ
Meter View – Needle-style detector gauge ๐Ÿ“Ÿ
Sensor Value – Live microTesla sensor data ๐Ÿ”ข
Simple & modern user interface ๐ŸŽจ
Lightweight & battery-friendly โšก
Works fully offline – No internet needed ๐Ÿ“ด
Low storage usage – Small APK size ๐Ÿ’พ
No login or permissions required ๐Ÿ”

๐Ÿ” Use Cases:

Detect screws or nails in wooden walls ๐Ÿ”ฉ
Locate metal pipes under tiles or ground ๐Ÿ›
Check for magnetic objects in appliances ๐Ÿ“ฆ
Perform science experiments or fun tests ๐Ÿงช
Explore magnetic fields around your house ๐Ÿก
Useful for DIY projects and builders ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

โš ๏ธ 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.

๐Ÿ“ 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.

๐Ÿ“ฒ Compatibility: Compatible with most Android smartphones and tablets running Android 5.0 and above. Sensor performance may vary depending on the manufacturer and model.

๐ŸŽ 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.

๐Ÿ™Œ 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! ๐Ÿงฒ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ฑ
