Room to Improve
- ❌ Misleading app description and marketing
- 🚫 Does NOT detect EMF radiation as advertised
- 🚫 Does NOT detect radio frequencies or electric fields
- 🚫 Does NOT detect ionizing radiation (gamma rays, x-rays)
- 🚫 Does NOT detect cell phone radiation
- ⚠️ Only detects magnetic fields, not true EMF
- 📊 Inconsistent and unreliable readings
- 🔄 Readings vary wildly in same location
- 🧲 Triggered by any metal objects, not radiation
- ❓ No explanation of measurement units (microTesla)
- ❓ No safety guidelines or harmful level indicators
- 😕 Confuses users about actual radiation dangers
- 🎭 Functions as a metal detector, not radiation detector
