Four new tools join the meter in 1.1: Radar, Metal Finder, Presence Meter and SLS-Style Camera. Every number on screen comes from your iPhone's own sensors. The magnetometer reading is real. What it means is up to you. THE METER: EMF Detector reads your iPhone's magnetometer and shows the live magnetic field in ยตT or mG. Each start calibrates a baseline for the room and tells you how steady it was. Readings are classed Calm, Weak, Potential, High or Extreme. - Meter | Graph switch; live 30-second graph with X, Y and Z toggles - Sensitivity presets, haptic and beep feedback - Record Mode: a clean full-screen view for filming - Siri and Spotlight shortcut into the meter THE TOOLS TAB (all four free to open): - Radar: a live compass radar driven by the magnetometer. When the field reaches Potential or above, a blip appears in the direction your iPhone faces. - Metal Finder: shows how far the field moves from its baseline, with a threshold, beep and vibration. It responds to magnets and magnetic metals such as iron and steel, not to gold or aluminium. - Presence Meter: shows how much your iPhone itself moves, from its accelerometer. Set it down and it reacts to bumps and vibration. - SLS-Style Camera: a live rear-camera view. Apple's Vision framework looks for human body shapes on your iPhone and draws a stick figure only where it finds one. People, mannequins, photos and TVs can show figures; an empty room shows none. Your live EMF reading stays on screen. RECORDING: Tap Record and walk the space; each spike is marked as it happens. Tap Stop for the timeline, spikes, baseline and peaks. Compare any two sessions side by side. FREE AND PRO: Free: the meter, graph, Record Mode, recording (3 most recent sessions kept), session detail, compare and all four tools. Pro adds: no ads; unlimited history; CSV export; radar skins (colour themes: Thermal, Night Vision, Vintage); Presence Meter recording, sensitivity and sound alert; SLS-Style Camera extras: Depth (LiDAR) on iPhones with LiDAR, a night-vision-style filter and photo capture. Without Pro, a rewarded ad unlocks one session's export while its screen stays open, or a time-limited trial of the Pro tool extras. The trial does not remove ads or unlock history or export. SUBSCRIPTIONS: EMF Detector Pro: Weekly $2.99 (3-day free trial), Monthly $4.99 (3-day free trial), or Lifetime $24.99, a one-time purchase. Prices are in US dollars; the App Store shows your local price. Free trials are for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. To cancel: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > EMF Detector Pro > Cancel Subscription. To avoid renewal after a free trial, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. ADS: Free users see Google AdMob ads: a native card labelled "Ad" on the meter and tool screens, and occasional full-screen ads after you stop a recording, when you leave a tool, and when you go back from a saved session, a comparison or the instructions. No ads appear on their own in Record Mode or while recording. ENTERTAINMENT NOTICE: The magnetometer reading is real. What it means is up to you. Magnetic fields change near wiring, appliances, magnets, metal and other phones, and this app cannot tell those apart from anything else. It is made for paranormal-style entertainment and does not claim that a change in the field means a ghost is present. PRIVACY: No account. The camera works only in the SLS-Style Camera tool; images are processed on your iPhone and nothing is stored or sent unless you share or save a photo. Sharing usage data (Google Analytics for Firebase) is your choice, changeable in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ashaquavision.com/privacy-policy/emf-detector-ios/ iPhone only. Requires a device with a magnetometer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Heatcheck NA at none against EMF Detector's 1. Heatcheck NA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). EMF Detector's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
