### 5/5 — Works.!.

*2023-06-10*

For the DYIT person looking for what they need this app did the best of jobs for me.  I give it 5 stars.!.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2023-05-21*

Works just like it says

### 5/5 — Egypt

*2022-08-31, version 1.1*

Verygood

### 3/5 — Good

*2022-05-02, version 1.1*

Seems to work well, would be nice to just have a auditable alarm when field is higher than normal instead of constant beeping

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-03-29, version 1.1*

Awful just awful

### 3/5 — Good app

*2021-12-16, version 1.1*

Too many ads

### 1/5 — Sound doesnt work, app locks up

*2021-09-20, version 1.1*

App sometimes vibrates for metal. Sound has never worked. Frequent ads and frequent lockup, freezing before loading ad. When it does load, it usually wont indicate my keys an inch away.

### 5/5 — It works

*2021-09-14, version 1.1*

I’m surprised

### 1/5 — Title says MAGNETometer but when it starts it says METAL DETECTOR

*2021-09-10, version 1.1*

Does this mean all metal is magnetic? I needed an app to test electromagnetic interference and this app said 40 as I turned away from my PC, 50 on my keyboard, 0 when pressed against my monitor and nearly deafened me when I placed it on my rubber mouse pad. 

When I saw it is a metal detector it made sense why my monitor’s glass had no electromagnetic signal and my rubber mousepad next to the table’s metal frame went so berserk. 

I don’t need a metal detector. I need a magnetometer.

### 4/5 — Anyone try it on a mattress

*2021-09-04, version 1.1*

My mattress from IKEA hits over 200 ! What’s inside it ??
