It’s amazing ### 2/5 — App support link broken *2022-03-10, version 3.0* I just downloaded this app and it constantly beeps. I get similar results from other detector apps. I think it might be related to my model (13 peo max) or residue from the magnet case i normally keep the phone in. I doubt it's the app. That said the app support link goes to an info page for another app. ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2021-02-26, version 3.0* In some things it’s works perfect but rather thing that don’t have that much metal don’t work as well but it still is helpful ### 4/5 — I’m not a bot ok *2021-01-03, version 3.0* This app actually works but you have to get really close to the object for it to beep I recommend it but creators of this app please fix the sensitivity so you don’t have to get so close ### 2/5 — I use to have this *2020-12-08, version 3.0* I use to have this and it really worked and it was really fun, but I deleted it for space, now I downloaded it again but now it rings to everything and it rings in a loop. Please fix this 😣 ### 2/5 — Not working at all *2020-10-23, version 3.0* I lost my ring and it was my birthday present and met a lot to me because my grandparents gave it to me and this app did nothing and that and that ring meant a lot to me ### 4/5 — It works well *2020-10-18, version 3.0* This app is good, I found a spoon! I thought it was fake but hood grief this app is good! ### 4/5 — Métal detector *2020-08-29, version 3.0* Je trouve cette application super génial , je l’es tester sur IPhone 6 et toute a marcher , je m’approchai d’un objet en métal et ça sonnait ! Je vous la conseille ! ### 3/5 — Decent *2020-06-15, version 2.1* Trust me this app does work but I put a 3 because sometimes it beeps on me and I’m not wearing any metal which is weird but all in all it works! ### 4/5 — Black screen *2020-04-13, version 2.1* This app is awesome but I have one concern what I think needs fixed is that when I go on fun mode and when I covered the proximity sensor it still beeps but my screen goes black ### 4/5 — Headphones *2020-02-22, version 2.1* Looking for my head phones found them right away under a sheet cover ### 2/5 — Kinda weird *2020-02-02, version 2.1* So basically you have to get really close for the Metal detector to like actually work. So I went looking for hours in the grass and found nothing. I also went to my ranch and also found nothing. I tried to see if it actually worked using a flashlight and surprisingly it WORKED!!! But I have to say I don’t think this thing can actually find any gold or money. I think it is pretty useless. ### 3/5 — It does work but not really for me😢 *2020-01-26, version 2.1* I put coins next to it but the numbers just moved I did not beep😭😭😭😔 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2023-10-10, version 3.0* I was using the metal detector And it was working perfectly fine I tried it on metal hammer and then I was playing with it for a bit just around my siblings and then I had in just air and it started beeping and I close the app out about 10 times and it was still beeping at nothing so that’s not a good. Sign ### 1/5 — Médiocrement nul. Des efforts *2023-07-16, version 3.0* Dans la synthaxe poursuivez vos efforts 8/20 ### 1/5 — Full signal all the time *2023-05-26, version 3.0* It just gives full signal all the time even when not close to any metal. No phone case or anything metal nearby but it still sounds the alarm. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-10-19, version 3.0* I lost my earrings so downloaded this app. Once I downloaded it I practiced it by swiping it on my carpet, and when it went off I checked to see what was there and there was nothing there so it was just beeping at nothing. I still tried to find my earring after that and I’m still missing it, so I wouldn’t download this app if I were you it’s just a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Nah *2020-08-20, version 3.0* I really want a metal detector, and I have to wait for Christmas to get one. So I tried downloading this app but it doesn’t work at ALL. I would not recommend it. ### 1/5 — Muy mala no sirve de nada es una basura 😈 *2020-05-01, version 2.1* Hola mejore el juego porfa 🙏 que es una basura de verdad ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2020-04-30, version 2.1* This was a horrible app that was not made well I walked outside and it was constantly beeping and I looked all around me there was nothing metal at all. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS NONWORKING APP ### 1/5 — Ew *2020-04-16, version 2.1* This doesn’t work it doesn’t even beep ### 1/5 — Terrible, fake, useless *2020-04-12, version 2.1* Reviews said it would work but obviously they were extremely biased comments because this app is by far the biggest waste of your time! ### 1/5 — Scam?! *2020-04-02, version 2.1* I was looking around for some tape but then I lost my metal pen, so I got this app and scanned around but before that I tested it on metal...AND IT DIDNT FIND THE METAL RIGHT INFRONT OF IT!!! So I tried again and still didn’t work! :( (unsatisfied) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2021-10-05, version 3.0* I looked for a rare coin that was missing but ever since i got this app i found it!!!!!
