## Description

**Smart Metal Detector & EMF** turns your iPhone’s built-in magnetic sensor into a magnetic field meter and metal detection tool. View EMF readings in microtesla (μT) and milligauss (mG), monitor three-dimensional magnetic field changes with colorful charts, and detect increases that may indicate nearby ferrous metal.

Use customizable sensitivity settings for vibration and sound alerts while scanning for magnetic objects, wires, pipes, or other sources of electromagnetic interference. Accuracy depends on your device’s magnetometer, and the app cannot detect non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, or copper. A compatible magnetic field sensor is required.

## Review summary

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.
