It cannot detect RF signals, Wi-Fi, cellular (5G/4G), AC electromagnetic fields, or electric fields. For those measurements, specialized equipment is required. What it does measure, it measures well -- with calibrated data that most competing apps lack. Built with SwiftUI, Swift Charts, and Core Motion. No ads, no data collection.
