Microwave Leak Detector vs RF Calculators
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Microwave Leak Detector
This utility app uses your device's magnetic field sensor to indicate potential electromagnetic leaks from your microwave oven. It's designed for entertainment and to alert you to possible issues with your appliance's casing.
- Detects magnetic field changes
- Uses iOS device sensor
- Indicates potential microwave leaks
- For entertainment purposes
- Works on iPhone and iPad

Use this app to detect a leak in your home Microwave. Poorly manufactured or physically damaged Microwave Ovens may allow electromagnetic energy (used to cook your food) to escape into the surrounding environments. This app serves to indicate if this may be happening to you. This app utilizes the embedded magnetic field sensor in your iOS device to detect surrounding magnetic field changes. This app does not intend to serve as a fully calibrated Microwave Leak Detector, only to indicate that a Microwave Leak could be present. Microwave energy that is used to cook your food induces magnetic field changes. If your Microwave Oven has a leak, the embedded sensor in your iOS device can be used to detect those magnetic field changes leaking through your Microwave's casing. This app should be used for entertainment purposes only.
RF Calculators
This application provides a comprehensive suite of tools for radio frequency (RF) calculations. It includes various attenuator calculators, unit converters, RF propagation tools, and other specialized RF calculators for engineers and hobbyists.
- Attenuator calculators (Pi, Tee, Balanced, etc.)
- Unit converters (dBm to Watt, Watt to dBm)
- RF propagation tools (Link Budget, Antenna Down Tilt)
- Specialized RF calculators (Coax, MicroStrip, VSWR)
- Extensive list of RF calculation functions

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Microwave Leak Detector at 100% against RF Calculators's 33%. Microwave Leak Detector also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.0) and ads (none vs shown). RF Calculators's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 41 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Microwave Leak Detector holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microwave Leak Detector has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Microwave Leak Detector's written reviews are positive against 33% of RF Calculators's.
Microwave Leak Detector ships an update every 41 months, RF Calculators every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
