iPhasematch vs Gauss Meter
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
iPhasematch
Calculate nonlinear optical effects like second-harmonic generation and spontaneous parametric down-conversion. This app provides phasematching orientations, nonlinear coefficients, and tolerance values for various crystals based on Sellmeier equations.
- Phasematching condition calculation
- Sellmeier equation integration
- Effective nonlinear optical coefficients
- Walk-off and angular tolerance
- Temperature tolerance
- Supported crystal list

iPhasematch allows you to calculate the phasematching condition of nonlinear wavelength conversion such as SHG or SFM based on published Sellmeier equiations. Downconversion (OPO) can be figured out by the reverse of SFM. It is a subset of the 'Qmix' function of a famous Windows software SNLO by Dr. Arlee Smith. This App does some of what SNLO does on your iOS device. It takes the crystal, two input wavelengths, and temperature and gives the phasematching orientations, effective nonlinear optical coefficients, walk-off angles, angular tolerance and temperature tolerance. In case of SHG, it also gives spectral tolerance. In biaxial crystals, it gives only the phasematching orientations in the principal planes, i.e., either theta=90 deg. or phi=0 or 90deg. Currently supported crystals: BBO, BiBO, CBO, CLBO, LB4, LBO, KBBF, KDP, KD*P, KN, KTP, Mg:LN, Mg:sLN, RBBF, RTP, YAB. NOTE: dn/dT data for LB4 was picked up from discrete data points in the reference and linearly extrapolated. Interface should be intuitive, giving phasematching with a tap of "PM" button,refractive index with "index" button and group index with "Gp.Idx" button, for the given condition (crystal, wavelengths, and temperature). DISCLAIMER: I cannot be held responsible for the result of the calculation it gives. I make every effort to make it accurate, and bug-free, but there could be errors in code. Please just use this on your own discretion.

This app is primarily used to measure magnetic field strength all around. It could also be used as a metal detector. This app contains the following features: 1) The magnetic field measured by this app is the total magnetic field in the device's vicinity without device bias (Earth's magnetic field plus surrounding fields, without device bias). 2) Plot the measured data in real time. 3) Multiple units supported: nT, µT, mT, mG and G. 4) Measurement duration and measurement frequency are customizable. 5) Users could set alert value to some level (Ex. 120 µT). When the measured magnetic field exceeds the alert value, it will alert users. 6) The location information of the measurement points could also be obtained, and all the measurement points could be shown in map. 7) All measured data could be exported as a csv format file for post process. 8) In addition, users could also add photos, videos and voice records to the measured data, and the photos, videos and voice records could be downloaded through iTunes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iPhasematch at Free against Gauss Meter's $1.99. iPhasematch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0). Gauss Meter's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

iPhasematch is free to download; Gauss Meter costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iPhasematch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gauss Meter has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
iPhasematch ships an update every 7 months, Gauss Meter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
