Measure, visualize, and record magnetic fields with precision — right from your iPhone. Physics Toolbox Magnetometer displays the magnetic field vector in x, y, and z dimensions along with total magnitude in microteslas (µT) or gauss, giving you the data you need for serious lab work or casual exploration. Three ways to view your data: - Chart — real-time graph with toggleable axes, adjustable line width, and fullscreen mode - Digital — large numeric readout for quick at-a-glance measurements - Compass — live heading with True North and Magnetic North display Built for the lab and the field: - Record and export data as CSV for analysis in other software - Adjustable sample rate from 1 to 100 Hz - Signal filters to reduce noise - Detects permanent magnets, electromagnetic fields, and background geomagnetic field Classroom-ready experiments: The magnetometer is well-suited for determining the inverse-square law for a point-source magnet, measuring the magnetic field produced by a solenoid, or capturing the periodic field variations of audio speakers and magnetic plate stirrers. Whether you are a physics student, teacher, engineer, or curious mind, Physics Toolbox Magnetometer turns your device into a capable scientific instrument.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Physics Toolkit at none against Physics Toolbox Magnetometer's 1. Physics Toolkit also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and ratings volume (51 vs 7). Physics Toolbox Magnetometer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Physics Toolbox Magnetometer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Physics Toolkit asks for nothing beyond the download.
Physics Toolbox Magnetometer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Toolkit has 51 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Physics Toolbox Magnetometer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Physics Toolkit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
