Doesn’t seem to work very well

It just goes off at random no matter what you are pointing to, if you set the sensitivity high enough it will beep.

Life saver

I’m so thankful I downloaded this app, I dropped one of my Bluetooth earbuds into this grassy area, could not find it for 30 minutes straight, downloaded this and found it in the next 30 seconds

Total rubbish!!!!!!

This app does nothing other than bleeping at absolutely everything. No change at all with any form of metal. If I could have, I wouldn’t have even given it 1 star. Rubbish!!

What types of metal can this app detect?

The app is designed to detect ferromagnetic metals. This includes common materials like steel and iron. It can also identify precious metals like gold and pure silver, as they exhibit magnetic properties detectable by the device's magnetometer.

Is this app compatible with my device?
