IsHaunted is the Paranormal Platform: the field companion for paranormal investigators, and the place the people who call them and anyone curious about a haunted place can follow along. Start a session on the Paranormal tab and the app records from the sensors already in your phone — magnetometer, motion, ambient sound level — alongside the photos, audio and notes you take while you work. Everything is stamped with when and where it happened, so a spike in the cellar is never confused with one in the hall. Made for iPhone Duo • Folded, it's your phone • Open it and the session fills the inner screen, with every control for the investigation down the side: mark a moment, log what happened, ask a question and listen, add a note, change room, reset the base, switch on the flashlight In the field • Live field sessions with a running readings log • Photo, video and audio capture into the session • Ask a question and listen, with your question written down as you ask it • Voice notes, transcribed on the device • Sentry mode — leave the phone watching a room and have it flag what changed • Replay a finished session as a timeline • Add details to your marks before you send the session Back at the case • Upload a session to your group and attach it to the case it belongs to • Case files, reports, timelines and messages • Investigations, rosters and schedules Events • Ghost walks, haunted dinners and investigation nights near you • Your pass works at the door, even with no signal • See the menu and the program before you go Who it is for Paranormal investigation groups and their members; guides who run public ghost walks; and clients who have asked a group to look at their property.

EMF Detector

Four new tools join the meter in 1.1: Radar, Metal Finder, Presence Meter and SLS-Style Camera. Every number on screen comes from your iPhone's own sensors. The magnetometer reading is real. What it means is up to you. THE METER: EMF Detector reads your iPhone's magnetometer and shows the live magnetic field in µT or mG. Each start calibrates a baseline for the room and tells you how steady it was. Readings are classed Calm, Weak, Potential, High or Extreme. - Meter | Graph switch; live 30-second graph with X, Y and Z toggles - Sensitivity presets, haptic and beep feedback - Record Mode: a clean full-screen view for filming - Siri and Spotlight shortcut into the meter THE TOOLS TAB (all four free to open): - Radar: a live compass radar driven by the magnetometer. When the field reaches Potential or above, a blip appears in the direction your iPhone faces. - Metal Finder: shows how far the field moves from its baseline, with a threshold, beep and vibration. It responds to magnets and magnetic metals such as iron and steel, not to gold or aluminium. - Presence Meter: shows how much your iPhone itself moves, from its accelerometer. Set it down and it reacts to bumps and vibration. - SLS-Style Camera: a live rear-camera view. Apple's Vision framework looks for human body shapes on your iPhone and draws a stick figure only where it finds one. People, mannequins, photos and TVs can show figures; an empty room shows none. Your live EMF reading stays on screen. RECORDING: Tap Record and walk the space; each spike is marked as it happens. Tap Stop for the timeline, spikes, baseline and peaks. Compare any two sessions side by side. FREE AND PRO: Free: the meter, graph, Record Mode, recording (3 most recent sessions kept), session detail, compare and all four tools. Pro adds: no ads; unlimited history; CSV export; radar skins (colour themes: Thermal, Night Vision, Vintage); Presence Meter recording, sensitivity and sound alert; SLS-Style Camera extras: Depth (LiDAR) on iPhones with LiDAR, a night-vision-style filter and photo capture. Without Pro, a rewarded ad unlocks one session's export while its screen stays open, or a time-limited trial of the Pro tool extras. The trial does not remove ads or unlock history or export. SUBSCRIPTIONS: EMF Detector Pro: Weekly $2.99 (3-day free trial), Monthly $4.99 (3-day free trial), or Lifetime $24.99, a one-time purchase. Prices are in US dollars; the App Store shows your local price. Free trials are for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. To cancel: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > EMF Detector Pro > Cancel Subscription. To avoid renewal after a free trial, cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. ADS: Free users see Google AdMob ads: a native card labelled "Ad" on the meter and tool screens, and occasional full-screen ads after you stop a recording, when you leave a tool, and when you go back from a saved session, a comparison or the instructions. No ads appear on their own in Record Mode or while recording. ENTERTAINMENT NOTICE: The magnetometer reading is real. What it means is up to you. Magnetic fields change near wiring, appliances, magnets, metal and other phones, and this app cannot tell those apart from anything else. It is made for paranormal-style entertainment and does not claim that a change in the field means a ghost is present. PRIVACY: No account. The camera works only in the SLS-Style Camera tool; images are processed on your iPhone and nothing is stored or sent unless you share or save a photo. Sharing usage data (Google Analytics for Firebase) is your choice, changeable in Settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ashaquavision.com/privacy-policy/emf-detector-ios/ iPhone only. Requires a device with a magnetometer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IsHaunted at none against EMF Detector's 1. IsHaunted also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
