The application has four different displays modes to visualize the magnetic field:
- Absolute Mode: Displays the absolute magnetic field in microtesla (μT) measured by the magnetometer.
- North Mode: A compass head-up displays the geographic north along with the pointer that directs to the magnetic north (thus display difference magnetic to geographic north).
- Declination Mode: Two arrows will be displayed to indicate the declination of the earth magnetic field (0° just on equator, increasing to north with blue pointer direction up or south with blue pointer direction down).
- Relative Mode: This mode shows the relative strength (absolute minus compensation vector) of the magnetic field in μT.
… and five different display modes for acceleration visualization:
- Absolute Mode: Displays the reverse acceleration of the iPhone (1g up when hold steady).
- X-Rotation - Y-Rotation - Z-Rotation: The arrow will display the rotation around the X-, Y- and Z-Axis of the iPhone. The digital indicator shows the angle numerically (-180° - +180°). A way to calibrate will be added with one of the next updates, so you could use this as a level.
- Relative Mode: This mode shows the relative strength (absolute minus compensation vector) of the acceleration.

For recreational use only. However it CAN (!) be very accurate. The measurement is performed as good as possible (we try our best) by using the inbuilt accelerometer and magnetometer to their limits. The range of the accelerometer typically has a max of ±3g (~4.2g displayed here if combined) and each magnetometer usually recalibrates internally when over ±120μT in one axis. However, tell us your experience!
It has potential. Provides some neat info from the iPhone's sensors. Fun to play with.
Using all features to an advantage on the 3gs, keep it up and we can see the full potential from this device!
If you wanted a tricorder, get this app. The arrow reflects magnetic flux very quickly and shows the field strength in real time. It's 99 cents and does a fantastic job of representing 3d magnetic fields. The new version has the compass overlay working correctly. I've bought only a handful of apps and this is one. It's a very impressive app to anyone who is science minded.
I only got this literally 45 secs ago, I haven't played around with it but it would be a good gag app
This app reveals the otherwise invisible local magnetic field with a full 3D vector indicator and several selectable modes of operation. Really fun to experiment with. Nicely done!
