RF Tools vs Microwave Leak Detector
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
RF Tools
This utility app helps engineers and students calculate and convert RF-specific values like impedance, wavelength, and return loss. It also includes a calculator for comparing RF cables and assemblies, and provides access to product catalogs and branch information.
- RF value conversion (impedance, wavelength, return loss)
- RF assembly calculator
- dB calculator
- Product catalog access
- Branch locator

The RF Tools App from HUBER+SUHNER AG is a useful tool, which shows the relation between RF specific values like impedance, wave length, return loss (VSWR) and signal delay including their conversion. On top of this, the RF Assembly Calculator provides an easy comparison of H+S RF cables and assemblies in different configurations and in different environments. It offers a straight access to technical specifications such as insertion loss and power rating. Above all, engineers and students will love this handy and helpful tool. Content Tools Reflection measurement (Return loss - VSWR) Frequency wavelength (Wavelength calculation) Signal delay (Signal delay - Dielectric constant - Velocity in % of speed of light) Impedance dimension (calculation of impedance of coaxial line) dB Calculator (dB Ratio / Watt - dBm) RF Assembly Calculator (comparison of up to three HUBER+SUHNER RF cables) Used formulas are explained in detail by meaningful pictures. Products Provides an overview of HUBER+SUHNER products such as cables, connectors, antennas, lightning protectors and passive components with the help of the product catalogues.

Microwave Leak Detector
This utility app uses your device's magnetic field sensor to indicate potential electromagnetic leaks from your microwave oven. It's designed for entertainment and to alert you to possible issues with your appliance's casing.
- Detects magnetic field changes
- Uses iOS device sensor
- Indicates potential microwave leaks
- For entertainment purposes
- Works on iPhone and iPad

Use this app to detect a leak in your home Microwave. Poorly manufactured or physically damaged Microwave Ovens may allow electromagnetic energy (used to cook your food) to escape into the surrounding environments. This app serves to indicate if this may be happening to you. This app utilizes the embedded magnetic field sensor in your iOS device to detect surrounding magnetic field changes. This app does not intend to serve as a fully calibrated Microwave Leak Detector, only to indicate that a Microwave Leak could be present. Microwave energy that is used to cook your food induces magnetic field changes. If your Microwave Oven has a leak, the embedded sensor in your iOS device can be used to detect those magnetic field changes leaking through your Microwave's casing. This app should be used for entertainment purposes only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Microwave Leak Detector at 4.5 against RF Tools's 3.0. Microwave Leak Detector also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and ratings volume (11 vs 3). RF Tools's advantage is update cadence (every 14 months vs every 41 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
