## Description

Paranormal EMF Recorder and Scanner is a free tool from Ghost EVP Radio that turns your device into an EMF meter for paranormal investigation. Built on your phone's magnetometer, it provides real readings and supports long-term automated recordings, so you can scan while you focus on other tasks. It can record with or without the scanning sound.

Features include a real-time EMF magnitude gauge, a 3-axis EMF strength diagram, and interactive charts for analyzing recordings. Recordings can be exported as CSV for logs and reports, and a simulated mode is available in Settings. The UI is responsive across screen sizes and orientations, and in-app upgrades unlock extra features. Support and feedback are welcome via the Settings page or the developer website.

Reliability also appears variable in some scenarios. Overall, a strong EMF detector in a phone form factor with caveats around onboarding and interpretation.
