Monitor the direction strength of a magnetic field at a particular location. Alerts you when a selected value is reached using visual &/or sound &/or vibration. Synchronizes to a specific signal (x, y, z or magnitude) in 4 different modes: falling edge, rising edge, low state and high state. Records the measurements from 100 to 10000 shots, plot, read and can be sent by Email as a CSV type. Several measure acquirements time base from 0.1 measure/second to 10 measures/second. Display the measurements in µTesla or mGauss unit. Automatic resizing screen. Extremely light weight app. Nota: It is not suitable for iPod which doesn’t have embedded magnetic field sensors. 监测特定位置的磁场的方向强度。 使用视觉和/或声音和/或振动达到所选值时提醒您。 以4种不同的模式同步到特定信号（x，y，z或幅度）：下降沿，上升沿，低状态和高状态。 将测量记录从100到10000记录，绘制，读取，并可以通过电子邮件发送为CSV类型。 几个测量时间基准从0.1测量/秒到10次/秒。 以μTesla或mGauss单位显示测量值。 自动调整大小的屏幕。 翻译为8种不同的语言：英文，法文，西班牙文，意大利文，葡萄牙文，德文，俄文和简体中文。 极轻的应用程序 注意事项：不适用于没有嵌入式磁场传感器的iPod。 监测特定位置的磁场的方向强度。 使用视觉和/或声音和/或振动达到所选值时提醒您。 以4种不同的模式同步到特定信号（x，y，z或幅度）：下降沿，上升沿，低状态和高状态。 将测量记录从100到10000记录，绘制，读取，并可以通过电子邮件发送为CSV类型。 几个测量时间基准从0.1测量/秒到10次/秒。 以μTesla或mGauss单位显示测量值。 自动调整大小的屏幕。 极轻的应用程序 注意事项：不适用于没有嵌入式磁场传感器的iPod。 Surveille la force directionnelle d'un champ magnétique à un endroit particulier. Avertit lorsqu'une valeur sélectionnée est atteinte: Visualisation et / ou son et / ou vibrations. Synchronise les acquisitions avec un signal spécifique (x, y, z ou magnitude) dans 4 modes différents: front descendant, front montant, état bas et état haut. Enregistre les mesures de 100 à 10000 salves, trace, relit et peut envoyer un Email au format CSV. 5 bases de temps sont possibles. De 0,1 mesure / seconde à 10 mesures / seconde. Affichage des mesures en μTesla ou mGauss. Redimensionnement automatique de l’écran. Application extrêmement légère. Nota: Ne convient pas aux iPod car ils sont dépourvus de capteurs de champ magnétique.

Verdict
Gauss Tesla Meter and µMagnetometer both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Gauss Tesla Meter's written reviews are positive against 23% of µMagnetometer's. Gauss Tesla Meter also leads on price ($0.99 vs $1.99). µMagnetometer's advantage is ratings volume (67 vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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
Gauss Tesla Meter costs $0.99 and µMagnetometer $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Gauss Tesla Meter against 4.4 for µMagnetometer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: µMagnetometer has 67 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Gauss Tesla Meter's written reviews are positive against 23% of µMagnetometer's.
Gauss Tesla Meter ships an update every 2 months, µMagnetometer every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
