Gaussmeter NS pole vs Magnetometer / Gaussmeter
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Gaussmeter NS pole
Measure magnetic fields in microteslas using your device's sensor. Simply place the screen near a magnet to identify its North or South pole.
- Magnetic field measurement
- Microtesla units
- S or N pole detection
- Uses device's magnetic sensor

Magnetic field measurement in microteslas by magnetic sensor. Put on the screen and determine N-pole or S-pole of the magnet.
Magnetometer / Gaussmeter
Transforms your device into a magnetic field strength meter. Detect residual magnetism in steel objects, measure magnet strength, and analyze magnetic fields on three axes. Useful for various applications including material assessment and component analysis.
- Magnetic Strength Meter (DC Gauss Meter)
- Detect residual magnetism in steel
- Measure magnetism on three axes (x,y,z)
- Switchable units: Tesla, Gauss
- 1 mG (0.1μT) Resolution
- Check magnet strength

This App turn your device into a Magnetic Strength Meter (DC Gauss Meter). DC magnetic fields can develop in many steel or iron objects if they have been exposed to magnetic fields, current, or friction. This App detects residual magnetism in steel parts quickly and accurately. Simply place the device edge near or against the object being tested, to have a reading representing the magnetism in the object at that site as well as polarity. Will also possible to verify thoroughness of de-magnetizing. Check out your car, bed frame, desk furniture or any other metal objects you spend time with. Can also be used to check the strength of magnets. Features: - Detect the strength of Magnetic force fields on all three axis’s (x,y,z) - Switchable units: Tesla, Gauss - 1 mG (0.1μT) Resolution Applications: - Assessment of magnetic materials. - Analysis of magnetic circuits and components - Measurement of residual magnetis - Measure stray and leakage fields - Measurement of absolute, and differential fields - Testing, sorting, classifying magnets - DC and AC motor testing - Relay and solenoid test - Loudspeaker test Note: the measure is never 0 because there is the Earth's magnetic field

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Gaussmeter NS pole at Free against Magnetometer / Gaussmeter's $0.99. Gaussmeter NS pole also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 17 months vs every 40 months). Magnetometer / Gaussmeter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Gaussmeter NS pole is free to download; Magnetometer / Gaussmeter costs $0.99 up front. Gaussmeter NS pole sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Magnetometer / Gaussmeter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Magnetometer / Gaussmeter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gaussmeter NS pole has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Gaussmeter NS pole's written reviews are positive against 50% of Magnetometer / Gaussmeter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gaussmeter NS pole ships an update every 17 months, Magnetometer / Gaussmeter every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
