Looking for a free, easy, and powerful Metal Detector app?Turn your smartphone into a magnetic field scanner and metal finder using its built-in magnetic sensor — no extra hardware needed! Whether you're curious, exploring, or just having fun, this tool is designed for both practical use and entertainment.
🧲 What is this app?
Metal Detector is a smart Android app that measures magnetic field strength using the magnetometer sensor available in most smartphones. It helps you find metallic objects like nails, screws, pipes, studs, keys, and other magnetic materials by detecting field changes.
📱 How does it work?
The app reads real-time magnetic field values (in microTesla - µT) from your device’s sensor. When it senses a sudden rise or abnormal magnetic values, it means there may be metal nearby. The Earth’s natural magnetic field typically ranges from 30 µT to 60 µT — any significant spike indicates something metallic is close.
🛠️ Key Features:
Real-time digital magnetic field readings 📊
Graph View – Visual spikes in magnetic levels 📈
Meter View – Needle-style detector gauge 📟
Sensor Value – Live microTesla sensor data 🔢
Simple & modern user interface 🎨
Lightweight & battery-friendly ⚡
Works fully offline – No internet needed 📴
Low storage usage – Small APK size 💾
No login or permissions required 🔐
🔍 Use Cases:
Detect screws or nails in wooden walls 🔩
Locate metal pipes under tiles or ground 🛁
Check for magnetic objects in appliances 📦
Perform science experiments or fun tests 🧪
Explore magnetic fields around your house 🏡
Useful for DIY projects and builders 🛠️
⚠️ Important Notes:
Your phone must have a built-in magnetic sensor (magnetometer).
This app will not work on devices without this sensor.
According to our testing, about 86% of Android phones do support magnetic detection.
Try on a different phone if it doesn't work on yours.
Do not use near magnets, electronics, or magnetic covers as they may affect accuracy.
📏 Detection Range:
Based on our tests on 40+ devices, the average detection range is around 15–25 cm, depending on the strength and quality of the magnetic sensor in your device.
📲 Compatibility: Compatible with most Android smartphones and tablets running Android 5.0 and above. Sensor performance may vary depending on the manufacturer and model.
🎁 Pro Tips:
For better results, hold your device steady and move it slowly.
Keep the phone away from other electronic devices while scanning.
Use in a quiet environment for distraction-free detection.

I'm really surprised,it actually works well, I was able to locate a bolt off of my weed eater in the grass, I wouldn't of found it otherwise, super cool

Uses your phone's magnetic sensors. Sensitivity depends on the quality of your phone and it's sensors.

I like this app!! I didn't find any kind of metal where I was though. I recommend this app and happy hunting!!
Ashley
I wasn't able to find anything unfortunately but hopefully I'll get lucky!! Definitely recommend this app.

This app works great, does what it's supposed to do, it was really helpful when I was working today, highly recommend this app.

it's a good app that detects metal and more very interesting.

Wow! It really works. Those who say that it doesn't are wrong. You need phone/tablet with Magnetic Field sensor. Else it won't work. And make sure you are pointing that very part of device where Magnetic Field sensor is located. And if it gets higher (red color) then it means it is metal (or some material with same magnetic field which I don't think exists).

I likely *would* have given the app 4 stars if not for the insane multitude of fake 5-star sockpuppet reviewsAnyway, the app does *work*, generally. It doesnt seem to be powerful enough (that is, our devices aren't) to be able to find coins or gold or anything under the ground, but it does no off when i put the phone up to a metal object. One complaint is it keeps sending me notifications that say "spy cam detected", but clicking on it only opens the app, and there's no explanation whatsoever.
