About

Teslameter.

This utility app measures electromagnetic fields around you using your device's compass. It displays readings on X, Y, and Z axes in micro-teslas, along with a magnitude reading. Primarily for entertainment, it detects interference from magnetic objects or potential paranormal activity.

Highlights
  • Measures electromagnetic fields
  • Displays X, Y, Z axis readings
  • Calculates magnitude reading
  • Detects magnetic object interference
  • For entertainment purposes

Teslameter lets you view current electromagnetic fields around you! To use, simply open Teslameter and bring your iPhone close to any ferromagnetic metal such as iron or steel, or any other magnetic object. Teslameter will measure the current magnetic fields on the X, Y, and Z axis in micro-teslas. In addition Teslameter displays a magnitude reading of (X^2+Y^2+Z^2). How exactly does it work? Since the iPhone 3GS/iPhone 4 includes a compass, Teslameter can measure the interference created by a ferromagnetic metal (or paranormal activity). Teslameter is NOT a true teslameter and shouldn't be used for anything but entertainment purposes.

About

Physics Labs

This app uses your device's sensors to measure various physical quantities like acceleration, magnetic fields, and sound levels. View data in coordinates or scalar magnitude, and export it to Excel for analysis. It's a digital lab for your phone.

Physics Lab is all-in-one Sensor app which let you know physical entities around you like acceleration, magnetic fields, light intensity, sound decibel and much more... Physics Lab measures physical parameters by using your device sensors which typical device contain bunch of those sensors! Application give output in high precision with short intervals based on your sensor's capabilities. In Physics Lab, you can observe physical data in coordinates (X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis) or in scalar magnitude. If you want, you can export sensor data into Excel by one click! Using export to excel feature you can obtain statistical information about your measurement. Physical quantities that can be measured Physics Lab: * Accelerometer: Measuring acceleration around your device. Output in m/s2 for x, y and z axes. Also, you can eliminate gravity from your measurements by one click and see real acceleration. * Magnetometer: Measuring magnetic field around your device. Output in µT for x, y and z axes. * Gyroscope: Measure angular inclination in x, y and z axes. Output in degree (°) * Luxmeter: COMING SOON * Barometer: Measure atmospheric pressure. Output in bar. * Noisemeter: Measure loudness around you. Output in dB. If you like our application, you can give us 5 stars.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Physics Labs at 100% against Teslameter.'s 0%. Physics Labs also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). Teslameter.'s advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
