Features & Capabilities

Smart Metal Detector is a Chrome extension that uses your device's magnetometer to measure magnetic fields (μT) and visualize readings in real time. The 3-axis chart shows fluctuations as you move, and alerts indicate when metal is nearby. You can adjust the sensitivity and enable sound or vibration alerts where supported.

The extension supports multiple languages (including Russian, Spanish, Indonesian, Portuguese, Turkish, French, Arabic, and Farsi) and offers a Pro version. Note that some devices lack a magnetic sensor, and electronic interference can affect accuracy. Privacy and terms links are provided in the app.

User Reviews

User reviews are mixed. A subset reports the app actually works and detects metal, especially when used for free. However, many reviews criticize its accuracy, noting it doesn't detect pennies or other coins and often triggers on non-valuable metal (speakers, furniture). There are complaints about pricing and free trials leading to charges or login prompts. Other users report compatibility issues with older devices and practical limitations, such as needing to be very close to a target and a camera bias. Overall, performance is sporadic.
Pros
  • Some users report that the app actually works and detects metal.
  • Several reviewers note it can be used for free.
  • Positive reports when the app functions, such as 'works great' or 'actually works'.
Cons
  • Doesn’t reliably detect coins and money; common coins are often not identified.
  • Causes false positives on everyday metal items (speakers, tables, fridges, chairs).
  • Pricing/frustration with free trials, including cancellation difficulties and login prompts leading to charges.
  • Limited practicality: must be very close to the target and appears biased toward camera use.
  • Compatibility issues on older devices (e.g., iPhone 5x) and other hardware.

It is a useless app! Do not waste your time or money. Trying to figure out how to cancel my free trial before I am charged! I did figure out to cancel the free trial, at least!
