Are you new to using a multimeter? Do you sometimes get confused by the symbols on the display? Or are you just a little unsure sometimes with the reading? Never fear, the Multimeter Wizard is here! With our fun little app you just use your multimeter to take a reading, enter it into the app, select the same prefix (M, k, m or µ) as being displayed on your multimeter and the reading will be automatically converted to its basic unit (V, Ω or A). That's it! If you want to better understand how the conversion is done you can simply pull down the results drawer and the conversion steps will be shown in detail. This is a great way to help you learn how to do the steps for yourself and give you confidence when using your multimeter. Got an idea for how to make this app more useful?

Magnetometer is a fun app for finding metal or magnets by detecting EMF interference with your iPhone's compass heading. Find your keys, or just have fun discovering what could be made of metal. Magnetometer is not meant to replace an actual, professional-grade metal detector. Magnetometer presents simple information to the user about the interference experiences. For more scientific data, please turn to other great apps on the App Store. Magnetometer is made for fun and for experimental purposes and is not designed for scientific use. Also, don't drop your iPhone in sand hoping to find treasure; it's risky.
