Magnetick vs Timegrapher Logging
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Magnetick
Read full descriptionHide full description
Magnetick turns your iPhone into a precision magnetic field meter. If you've ever wondered whether your watch, tools, or jewelry have become magnetized, Magnetick gives you a clear, glanceable answer in seconds. Hold your iPhone near any object and Magnetick reads the surrounding magnetic field in microtesla (μT) using your device's built-in magnetometer — the same sensor your compass uses, but exposed in a way you can actually read and interpret. KEY FEATURES • Live magnetic field reading — a single, easy-to-read number, updated in real time • Guided mode — Magnetick stabilizes its baseline, then tells you plainly when something nearby is affecting the field • Real-time chart — watch how the field changes as you move your phone around an object • Built-in sensor map — Magnetick knows where the magnetometer chip sits inside your specific iPhone model, so you can hold the right part of the phone close to what you're testing • Beautiful dark interface designed to be readable at a glance WHO IT'S FOR • Watch owners checking whether their mechanical watch has been magnetized (a common cause of timekeeping errors) HOW TO USE 1. Open Magnetick and let the reading stabilize for a few seconds 2. Slowly move your iPhone close to the object you want to test 3. Watch the number — a sharp rise means the object is generating or carrying a magnetic field PRIVACY Magnetick reads only the magnetometer sensor and runs entirely on your device. No data is collected, transmitted, or stored. No accounts, no ads, no tracking.

Free app. No ads. For watchmakers who have a timegrapher such as a Weishi 1000 or others that do not have a fancy print output for readings, use this tool for your data point entries and it will provide mathematical calculations and a clean output to your camera roll. -Log positional readings for your standard five or six positional measurements. -Optionally include diagonal readings. -Optionally include Isochronism readings that will automatically compare between your 0-hour and 24-hour measurements. -Dynamic poising heavy spot identification on the balance wheel. -A button to "save results to camera roll" in a clean, simple, and professional output.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magnetick at none against Timegrapher Logging's 3. Magnetick also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
