About Metal Detector

Turns your cell phone into a metal detector, and makes people with iPhones jealous.

*OPEN HELP FIRST, read instructions. It's not magic and it's not a fake app.
*If you're at a PC, it'll interfere with the readings, so set it on a desk, zero, then wave stuff on top of it.
*It can't detect some stuff like aluminium.
*D/L probs aren't me; contact google.

This app has great functionality first short-range metal detector this is one of the few that actually detects. Great job ! It's definitely a keeper thanks a lot Oh, also an additional note, it actually does detect aluminum slightly, but not enough to set the alarm off. I waved one of those aluminum cheap Chinese LED flashlights under it with no batteries and it actually got it period just a fluke I guess

I've just finished installation, therefore this is based in a first impression. It surely detects some pipes inside the wall (I know where they are) about 5 cm deep inside the concrete but, it also fails to detect others in the same conditions. I don't know. I won't rely to much on this, not until I get to know it better.

Using a new Moto Z2 Play. The app did detect the frame of my camping chair, and struggled to find a key I placed on the ground, but it couldn't detect my gold ring on even #9. I was able to get ghost hits on a rock and ground. Maybe it detects well for some of you, but I don't need to find my camping chair. Too many false readings and not enough positive finds.

IT Works! I buried my trowel in dirt and it signaled every time. I just don't know if I walk around with it or crawl on the ground? If I hold it to the ground how deep does it sense?.. Anyway it's cool!

Helped me find my property pin after I located where it might be using a plat map. The pin was buried underneath several inches of soil.

This app works great and is simple and fun to use. If you are having problems, I suggest you read the built in help section. It's informative, and cheeky.

This God damn app....... F - IN WORKS!!! THE MOMENT THE APP IS INSTALLED IT BEGINS SCANNING ???????????? Good Job App developer.

Everything is perfect on this my mom was so surprised when it actually found metal I've found a fidget spinner 20 dollars 2 hot wheels and a pocket knife made of ivory with a metal handle and a wooden part so I don't get cut this app is great

Definitely works for some stuff. For the people who say it does nothing, try a magnet. You won't discover buried treasure most likely, but it does work.

I did the whole calibration thing and changed the sensitivity but yeah no this is fake. I had my phone aimed at the sky and it was saying it was detecting something. This app is garbage unless I'm stupid and my phone is somehow really advanced and detects little metal particles floating around in the sky, which i highly doubt.

I70%
by I####:

I was a skeptic, having encountered dozens of bogus apps. This one really works. The sensitivity adjustment is excellent.

K70%
by K####:

I can wave it around in the middle of the room and it will go off when you go in there metal it won't go off unless you move the thing around and then it will go off but you can do that in the middle of The Room 2 it doesn't work it's crap I don't know how 5 million people downloaded this

This application worked with the included instructions. The intent was to find a proptery stake hide below ground and found it quickly with little effort. No ads, no garbage, no nonsense. Well done.

As long as your phone has a good magnometer, it will work... If you have a cheep ass phone ????, then you will get what you paid for.????.. Don't blame the app... Of course it's not going to perform like a dedicated metal detector, cause it's a f ' n phone App... But it's really cool to have and definitely functional. ... ????????????????????????????⌚✔✔✔

Looking for a ground rod at my house couldn't find one . Downloaded this app doubting it would really work . But it worked perfectly . the sensor went off and I dug it was about 8" deep underground and the app still got it /galaxy s7 edge

Its very fun to mess around with and its totally legit!It actually finds stuff.Defintily gets a five star review!(DOWNLOAD NOW!!!=D)

by Z####:

on 7 sensitivity if I put to 8 it founds something when I lift d phone up or vertical. Im using galaxy s4. 5 stars thank you. If the app is not working for you maybe you have very cheap phone, only high end phones will work with this software

I simply pushed the calibration button on the screen to make sure it was functioning properly and placed it over my gun and it immediately signaled it had detected metal. I tried again by putting it over the remote control since it's covered in plastic and it signaled again. Seems to work just fine for simple things. Tomorrow I will test it in the yard to see what I can find. I will update after.

by Z####:

Works better than any other similar app - we used it to find survey markers buried up to 4 inches in dense compacted soil. Anyone who couldn't get it to work either had a phone with a weak magnometer or didn't click on the simple little calibration icon. It works. Guaranteed!

My husband dropped a screw to our pool pump and we looked for awhile with no luck. Just for kicks I looked up metal detector and came across this one and what do you know I found the screw in less than two minutes. So cool!

Doesn't even work... I thought I was actually finding something until I realized that every time I tilt my phone a certain way it detects something... After realizing that I decided to test it to see if it was true and I put knives on my table and it didn't detect it until I tilted my phone... DO NOT download this until they fix it

by Z####:

All other ones giving it a5⭐ is full of themselves and probably paid. Think about it how would your phone be able to detect metal. I tested it and nope...tried all the things it said to do and put ontop of metal and just keeps saying scanning. I have an android LG stylus do don't tell me it's a crappy phone. Peace to all

This did not work AT ALL on my phone. It couldn't detect anything medal; I tried a lot of different things. This app is POO

Guys, it works, I tried more than 4 top rated apps and with all the settings and the tweaks that was the best one, after installing and calibration go to settings and choose 7 for sensitivity, and high for sampling speed, disable auto screen rotation (it will reset sensor when screen rotate) and try to locate the magnometer in your phone (will help you scan better) ,good luck

Says detected when there is no metal near by. Tried calibrating it. Still constantly gives false readings.

Z70%
by Z####:

Ignore the jealous, this app works 100%, I tested it by putting it next to my computer modem and it went off like crazy, the whole going off when when you tilt it is just lies, tried it and nothing happened, I have an android and it worked for me, if it happens to your phone then yours' has a problem, but there is an issue about continuous alert ,it continued making noise even after I stepped away from the modem, fix it and 5 stars, if you don't believe me put your phone directly on your computer

I actually tested to make sure it would pick up a metal frequency by placing my phone over a metal can. Guess what? It didn't work. Uninstall.

We were looking for a manhole casting that was landscaped over 6" deep with topsoil and mulch. We were probing and shoveling for quite awhile when I decided to just try this app and OMG we were all amazed at how in the world my phone(LG G4) was capable of this. So this app saved us a lot of time and money in restoring the landscaping in a very nice subdivision. Awesome app guys. Thank You!

What a great invention. Tied my phone to the end of a plastic broomstick and just waved till I felt a vibration. Found all four of my friends property corners with it.

Doubted this app but I found my phone tho you just gotta place your phone directly above or across the metal

by Z####:

I used this app to find property corners and it was pretty accurate in pinpointing the corners. Very convenient and made the job easy. This app truly deserves 5 stars!!
