DigDay
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop guessing whether today is a dig day. DigDay scores ground conditions for metal detectorists from 0 to 100 โ based on recent rainfall, soil moisture, temperature, wind, and beach wave height โ so you know when to swing the coil and when to stay home. Every detectorist knows the routine: check the weather app, cross-reference NOAA tide stations, dig through forum threads about your soil region, and still guess. DigDay does the math for you and turns it into a single score with clear reasons. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set up your detector profile (VLF, PI, or multi-frequency) and your hunt site (park, farm, woods, beach). 2. DigDay pulls weather data and computes a 0โ100 ground score using moisture, temperature, wind, and detector-soil interaction. 3. You get GO, CAUTION, or SKIP for today, plus 3โ5 specific actions like "lower sensitivity 10โ15%" or "target below winter berm." It takes 30 seconds to set up. No account required. CORE FEATURES (FREE) - Today's DigScore for your home site, with category and 1-line reason - Last 7-day rainfall summary and condition breakdown bars - Detector profile presets for VLF, PI, and multi-frequency machines - Site-specific advice for park, farm, woods, and beach hunts PRO FEATURES Upgrade to Pro for deeper insights: - 7-day score forecast with the highest-scoring day highlighted - Hour-by-hour condition breakdown - Up to 20 saved sites - Beach cut alerts when wave height passes storm thresholds - Post-rain countdown per site - Detector-specific ground balance and sensitivity tips - Push notifications for GO days, beach cuts, and post-rain ready PRIVACY FIRST All data is stored locally on your device. No account, no tracking, no advertising. Location is used only to fetch weather data from Open-Meteo and is never stored or transmitted to our servers. This app provides condition score estimates based on weather data and general detecting principles. It is not a substitute for professional surveying, landowner permission, or 811 underground utility checks. Always obtain proper permission before detecting and call 811 before digging.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ThinKnx at none against DigDay's 1. ThinKnx also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). DigDay's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
