## Description

🧲 Metal Scanner turns your phone into a handy magnetic metal detector. Using the built-in magnetic sensor, scan walls, floors and objects for magnetic (ferrous) metal like nails, screws, studs and pipes.<br><br>🔍 FIND MAGNETIC METAL<br>Move your phone near a surface and watch the meter rise as it gets closer to magnetic metal.<br><br>⚡ EMF METER<br>Measure electromagnetic field strength (µT) with a clear, color-coded gauge.<br><br>🎯 CUSTOM ALERT LEVEL<br>Set your own µT threshold and get alerted when a reading crosses it.<br><br>🧭 FIELD COMPASS<br>A tilt-compensated compass rose that follows the local magnetic field — near magnetic metal the heading pulls away from north.<br><br>🎛️ MULTIPLE MODES<br>Metal, gold, silver, EMF, compass and camera modes in one simple app.<br><br>📳 INSTANT ALERTS<br>Sound and vibration when the signal gets stronger.<br><br>Note: this app uses your phone&#39;s magnetic (magnetometer) sensor — it detects magnetic (ferrous) metal and EMF. It cannot reliably detect non-magnetic metals like gold, silver, aluminium or copper, and is not a professional detector.<br><br>Download Metal Scanner and start scanning!
