Metal Detector is a fast and precise magnetometer tool that uses the built-in magnetic sensor of your device to detect metal objects and measure magnetic field strength in microteslas (µT). Whether you want to locate nearby metal, check magnetic field levels, or diagnose interference, this app provides a clear and reliable reading in real time. The interface is designed for accuracy and simplicity. The live dial shows current magnetic field values, while the history graph helps you track changes over time. When the magnetic field increases, the app instantly notifies you through visual and audio signals. This app is ideal for quick metal detection, cable finding, experiments, and understanding electromagnetic fields around you. FEATURES • Real-time magnetic field measurement in µT • Accurate metal detection using a built-in magnetometer • Clear dial interface with instant response • Adjustable sensitivity levels • Sound and vibration alerts for high readings • History graph to monitor field changes • Clean and simple dark interface • Designed for both beginners and technical users HOW IT WORKS Metal objects affect the magnetic field around your device. When the app detects a sudden change, it indicates the presence of nearby metal or electromagnetic interference. For best results, move your device slowly and keep it away from other electronic devices when possible. USE CASES • Detect metal objects • Locate hidden wiring or pipes • Measure magnetic field strength • Check electromagnetic interference • Science experiments and education • Small-scale DIY projects Important This app requires a device with a built-in magnetometer. Some older devices may not support magnetic field measurement. Privacy policy: https://it-incubator.eu/en/privacy-policy ​Terms of use: https://it-incubator.eu/en/terms-of-use

Aether Link - Advanced Paranormal Investigation Tool Only on Apple! EVP & VOX Communication System Our advanced EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) detection system continuously monitors your environment for paranormal audio signatures. Using real-time frequency analysis, the app identifies voice-like patterns within the 85-2000 Hz range, the spectrum most associated with spirit communication. When audio anomalies are detected, our intelligent VOX (Voice Operated Exchange) system responds by generating speech based on what it "hears." Unlike random word generators, our VOX technology analyzes actual frequency, pitch, and intensity to select contextually appropriate responses. Low-frequency rumbles trigger warnings like "danger" or "dark," while higher-pitched sounds prompt questions like "who" or "what." The system considers EMF fluctuations, audio anomalies, and ambient interference to determine response strength - stronger paranormal activity results in clearer, more frequent communication. Custom Word Bank Support Take full control of your spirit communication with custom word banks. Load your own curated word lists tailored to your investigation style, location history, or specific entities you're attempting to contact. Whether you prefer traditional paranormal vocabulary, location-specific terms, or words relevant to historical figures, the app seamlessly integrates your custom banks while maintaining intelligent, frequency-based selection. Custom phonetic banks let you adjust speech complexity from simple yes/no responses to complex multi-syllable utterances, suitable for casual ghost hunting or serious paranormal research. ITC Text Mode & EMF Meter Switch to Text Mode for ITC (Instrumental TransCommunication) using electromagnetic field fluctuations. Using your device's magnetometer, Text Mode monitors EMF levels and generates contextually appropriate words from a 20,000-word corpus. Words are intelligently categorized by energy level: calm EMF readings produce peaceful words like "light" or "peace," while intense disturbances trigger warnings like "danger" or "run." Grammar-aware templates construct coherent phrases for meaningful communication patterns. The integrated EMF meter provides real-time readings with visual energy indicators (calm, mild, active, intense), showing exactly what environmental conditions influence responses. Barometer Mode - Atmospheric Pressure Monitoring Detect subtle atmospheric pressure changes believed to correlate with spiritual activity. Barometer Mode continuously monitors pressure using your device's built-in sensor, establishing a statistical baseline and tracking real-time deviations. View current pressure (hPa), delta from baseline, and an elegant pressure wave visualizer responding to fluctuations. Customizable audio feedback (beeps, ticks, crackle, static) responds dynamically to pressure changes, with intensity and frequency increasing based on deviation magnitude. Advanced statistical anomaly detection uses standard deviation analysis to identify unusual pressure shifts - set sensitivity from 1.5 to 4.0 standard deviations to filter normal variations from potential paranormal events. Anomalies trigger intense audio alerts and automatically log to your session with full context: pressure values, statistical metrics, and EMF correlation. Perfect for investigating oppression feelings, cold spots, or presence sensations. Professional Session Logging Every investigation is automatically recorded with comprehensive session logs capturing all events, anomalies, and environmental data for post-investigation analysis and evidence review.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Metal Detector at Free against Aetherlink's $9.99. Metal Detector also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Aetherlink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
