Comments on Wire Metal Detector for Android

★★★★★ WTC Realist · Jan 17, 2018
It actually does a good job of detecting wire in walls and even tells you if it's a power wire. Best part of app is no advertisements, no bloat attached. It's Free AND Clear of any clutter!
★★★★★ Viatcheslav Bugayov · Apr 2, 2018
Impressive! I tried the metal wire mode and it works well. Of course, noise dominates if distance is large or current is low. Therefore, accumulation of the signal over time can improve sensitivity. Also, we can use stability of phase and phone's clock to further improve signal-to-noise ratio. I am not sure if frequency spectrum is computed correctly: it is maximal at about 40 Hz while I expected 60. But who knows, maybe the app discovered a problem in my power line! Also, I don't understand why the x-axis ends below 50 Hz, hiding the frequencies used by the app to detect wires.
★☆☆☆☆ Jason Bell · Dec 3, 2021
Could not detect a live wire anywhere I knew there was. Even tested on a plugged in and in use battery charger. No metal. No Wire. This is potentially very dangerous. DO NOT RELY ON THIS APP.
★★☆☆☆ Matt Casdorph · May 22, 2018
Not impressed at all, I was trying to use this app to detect if I ran a wire through one of my walls because I have to cut a part out to install an air conditioner, and I couldn't remember if I did, tested it on a wall that I know has a wire exactly, and I couldn't get the app to give an accurate reading
★☆☆☆☆ Nikhil Patel · Mar 5, 2018
Doest work. Gives the same result when exposed to wire or to a wooden table.

Description by Sergio Gudkov Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Wire Metal Detector is the App that allows you to detect power lines (wires) in distance up to 5 inches (12 cm) as well as metal by using a magnetic field sensor of your Android device.

Thus, you can find hidden power lines in walls and other places as well as easy detection of metal objects with reduced false alarms.

The wire detection and metal detection are completely different parts of the App.

In the Wire Detection Mode the App does analyze the magnetic field which created by the current in the AC power lines (wires). Therefore, the relatively powerful device should be connected to the outlet to create the electromagnetic field strong enough. The power consumption of these devices should be more than 200 Watt for better detection. Only 50-60 Hz AC in the wires does effect on this kind of detector. Detection is working only if the Android device is moving very slowly or nonmoving.

In the Metal Detection Mode the App does analyze small changes in the ambient magnetic field. Therefore, in order to detect any metal, the device should be constantly slowly moving around objects. The bigger metal object, the more detection distance will be. Detection is working only if moving occurs.



Features.

  • Completely NO ads.

  • 2-in-1 detection mode. The wire detector and metal detector are completely different.

  • Easy finding the hidden power lines in walls and other places.

  • Easy detection of metal objects with reduced false alarms.

  • The signal level indication.

  • Vibration or (and) sound indications of the detection event.

  • Comprehensive spectrum analysis of magnetic field with different ways to display results: spectrum, waterfall, and oscilloscope.

  • Adjustable sensitivity for each mode.
