EMF Detector

Explore the magnetic and electromagnetic fields all around you with EMF Detector!
Category Price Seller Device
Utilities $0.99 Excelltech Inc. iPhone, iPad

Your new iPhone 3GS can detect how strong the magnetic fields are with respect to the x, y, and z axes. Now you have access to this information in a interesting and responsive way.

Run the EMF Detector around your walls to discover any leaking electromagnetic fields (EMF) coming from faulty wiring (or paranormal activity!). Use it as a metal detector -- you'll notice that the needle will rise a bit when you place the device near ferromagnetic metals (such as steel and iron). Or, simply show off how cool your new iPhone 3GS is by watching the sin wave of EMF activity generated by a nearby motor is plotted before your eyes.

Simply load the EMF Detector on your 3GS iPhone, and you will immediately see the magnetic forces detected by the phone plot in real time, allowing you to easily identify fluctuations in magnetic (MF) and electromagnetic (EMF) fields. The computed magnitude of the detected field is also indicated by the needle display to aid you in hunting out those magnetic hot zones. Have fun!

Doesn't work total rip off


Off Scale By Induction Cooktop
Edmund419

On my iPhone 5 the 3 sensors are extremely directional. Checking my kitchen for HOT SPOTS, I discovered a TOTALLY OFF SCALE spot at the upper left front corner of my Kenmore Induction Cooktop even with unit off and safety ON. Strangely this Needle Pegged HOT SPOT is at the Kenmore Logo? I wish I knew why?


App not working anymore
Stargirl420

It is a great app but says the creator has not updated it yet and now it doesn’t work. Bummer. Plz update your app, app dudes! Ty!


Works like it says but...
Static2601

I would like to see the option to set the needle to zero after it finds the normal range which seems to be around 50 or so and have sound low pitch to high pitch to indicate field strength so I don't have to look at it when I'm using it. Thanks


It's really cool...

I've always liked the Ghost Hunter shows and this is one of the tools used, also it'd be useful with electricity in the house. All I can say is, it's fun!!!


Great job
Alejandro Dela Vega

Thanks for adding sound!


Sound control please
John from Oklahoma

This is a really great product. Functions very well. As effective as the Tri-Field. I would have given 5 stars but the new sound added has no control (besides the volume on the phone) that allows the user to customize the sound level. Keep up the good work!


Need's more work...

First off, the app failed to download several times. After I did get it to work, the app itself is not that great. Loaded with glitches and jumpy. Please update soon!?!


Great! But needs honing.
JimboDunky

Works as advertised, however it needs additional work. -iPhone will sleep while using app. Needs to be fixed so the app stays running indefinitely. -needs adjustable sampling rates for more stable data. The needle is glitchy on this app; inexplicably jumps to 0 at times while holding near test items. Analog equipment doesn't exhibit this trait. -needs a calibration feature. I'd like to be able to calibrate the needle to match my analog meter. -user selectable ranges. Needle tops out too quickly. Needs to be able to select ranges of milligauss, gauss, kilogauss, etc.


Needs ranges
Latheghost

Seems to work well but it would be way more useful if you could set the range. The range is way too sensitive for normal use.
