Instructif effectivement

A mon tour de poster un avis, le précédent datant d’il y a 10 ans… En plus de montrer la direction du champ magnétique en 3D, je vous invite à le passer au-dessus d’un matelas à ressorts, vous serez sans doute surpris.

Ottima applicazione

Tutte le funzioni di accelerometro e magnetometro con le varie opzioni danno un chiara interpretazione dei valori e delle loro variazioni grazie al doppio display grafico e numerico.
Ovviamente la precisione dipende dalla risoluzione e offset del dispositivo su cui è installata l’applicazione.

Keeps coming back

It is terrible so I deleted it but it kept coming back to my home screen

Can not calibrate

On the iPad Pro the magnetic north is always wrong.
The app provides no way to force a calibration.

Ruckelig

Vor paar Jahren, auf dem iPad 3 lief die App geschmeidig, und war kostenlos, nun kostet sie 1,99€ und ruckelt auf dem iPhone 6S 🙄

FAQ

What does the MagnetMeter app do?

MagnetMeter allows you to visualize magnetic fields in three dimensions around you. It measures the direction and strength of these fields, enabling you to explore objects, detect hidden electrical lines or pipes in walls, and even estimate your north-south position without relying on GPS.

What are the different display modes available?

The app offers four display modes for magnetic field visualization: Absolute Mode shows the raw magnetic field strength, North Mode displays geographic and magnetic north, Declination Mode indicates the earth's magnetic field declination, and Relative Mode shows the adjusted magnetic field strength.

Is this app free to use?

Based on the provided information, this application is a paid app. It does not have in-app purchases or advertisements, indicating a one-time purchase model for full functionality.

What devices is MagnetMeter compatible with?

The application is designed for the iPhone and specifically requires a 3GS or later model to function. It utilizes the device's inbuilt accelerometer and magnetometer sensors.

What are some common use cases for MagnetMeter?

Common uses include exploring the magnetic properties of everyday objects, acting as a rudimentary metal detector to locate wires or pipes before drilling, and as a navigational aid to determine your approximate north-south orientation by measuring local magnetic declination, even during flights.
