It makes it easy to determine which direction the magnets are facing for craft projects to ensure that it is all aligned identically. Will use it again to check magnet polarity! Minor issue: The terms and conditions required me to scroll down to the bottom of the toc before it let me select accept. ### 5/5 — Magnetically delicious *2018-01-31* Works perfect for my needs. ### 5/5 — So Simple Yet So Useful! *2018-01-31* One of those things you didn’t know you needed until you had it. Thanks for making this! ### 5/5 — So cool *2018-01-31* A perfect app for my iPhone. So handy. ### 5/5 — Yet another thing eaten by my phone *2018-01-26* I’m increasingly working with magnets in my designs, and was on the verge of buying a pole detector. Lo and behold, this app shows up and it works great. I’ve tested it on standalone magnets and I can even use it to “see” the arrangement of N/S magnets in my iPad’s Smart Cover! Brilliant! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2024-11-28* At first, it seems really good. i used it to label my magnet, then when i went to double check, it gave the opposite end instead. i then realized that if u gently turn the magnet over close to the sensor, it wont identify the polarity change and will instead keep what it originally showed. for example, u put the "south" end close to the sensor, then gently turn it over so that the "north" end is close to the center, it will still read it as the south end. ### 1/5 — These apps are wrong *2024-02-08* I’ve set a few magnets magnets using a the sting method. Each one a different size and different location. Nothing like Mother Nature telling you what your polarity is based on polarities attracting principle. I even went as far as to confirm it with my compass. However when I put the phone to those polarities on the magnet already labeled then it tells me the complete opposite. I think the algorithm on this is wrong or maybe it works with certain phones and not others. ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-08-12, version 1.0.1* Great app needs an update for iPhone XS as the sender has moved ### 5/5 — Works nicely *2024-11-04, version 1.0.2* Clear instructions and warnings, and the sensitivity is just-right. ### 5/5 — works *2024-07-15* very useful for any magnet project. ### 5/5 — Works great *2024-06-18* Easily identify poles even with small 3x2mm magnets. ### 5/5 — Really good *2020-09-22* I am actually impressed about how good this worked, super easy and fast. ### 5/5 — Works *2020-08-30* Free, easy to use, no ads, works as intended. ### 5/5 — Best pole identifier *2020-01-07* The developer did an excellent job, I tried Many Similar apps , this one is the most Sensitive/accurate app out there. Thank you, ### 5/5 — Simple - it works *2019-12-14, version 1.0.2* Nothing more to add x ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-03-28* Thank you for also labeling the poles with color. Green for the South Pole and red for the North Pole is perfect for magnet therapy identification. ### 5/5 — Does its one job well *2018-03-08* App has just one job — identify poles of a magnet. Works just as advertised. No need to get phone close to magnet. In my tests it identified pole from a foot away (will vary with magnet strength I’m sure) ### 5/5 — Works perfectly! *2018-02-04* This simple, easy to use app does exactly what it claims. It’s a great tool for anyone who needs to determine magnet polarity. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
