Metal Detector Pro for iPhone

Quick summary of the app

Metal Detector Pro turns your iPhone into a handheld sensor for finding metal objects and sensing electromagnetic fields. It’s built to help a wide range of users — from building professionals to hobbyist relic-seekers — pinpoint ferrous metal items concealed inside materials like wood and drywall. The tool also appeals to paranormal investigators who want to scan for buried metal or magnetized pieces behind surfaces.

Who should consider it

• Contractors and remodelers who need to avoid hitting hidden nails, pipes or metal fasteners.
• Treasure seekers and metal-detecting hobbyists hunting for lost or buried items.
• Paranormal enthusiasts looking for metal artifacts or magnetic disturbances during investigations.

Primary capabilities

• Haptic alerts that vibrate when metal or strong fields are detected.
• Numerical EMF measurements displayed in microteslas (μT) for precise monitoring.

• Optional subscription tiers that unlock extra tools and advanced features.

Health and environmental monitoring

In addition to locating metal, the app continuously measures electromagnetic radiation to help users be aware of potential exposure from household gadgets and wiring. When levels climb, the app can notify you with alerts and vibration so you can take action or move to a safer spot.
