Metal Detector and Spy Camera Reviews

by Frdmfghtr

I was surprised that this works, but then after thinking about it it makes sense. I'm guessing that it detects FERROUS metals (i.e. metals that are attracted to magnets) by comparing the change in the internal compass measurement with the accelerometers (not affected by magnetic fields). If the compass moves without a corresponding change in the accelerometers, then there is ferrous metal nearby.

I tried it on several metal objects, being careful to hold the phone flat, and after turning the sensitivity up to 20, I could detect my metallic flashlight. Somebody else was able to detect a metal knife. Yes, the needle moves if you tilt the phone, but I've never thought the compass worked very well unless the phone is flat anyway.

A four star rating app (unless that is all that apple can "detect", then this is a FIVE star app!) because it truest can detect metal and magnetic fields. Place your camera in front of the speaker bass and it will be detected!!!!! This is a confirmation!!!! (And I don't just go and rate and give app reviews too often!)!!!!!!!!

Okay, so I was looking for something I lost. I saw all the “too good to be true” reviews that were all 4-5 stars. I was skeptical, but it works! I don’t know how but it works. No joke most of these reviews are not bots. I don’t know how it works but it does.

I dropped a wireless earbud in my backyard, so i placed the other one I had in the grass to give a sense of how far i need to be/ how much it reacts to it. i ended up looking up and finding the missing one immediately w/o the detector, but it actually worked for the one i was testing lol. The only downside is that you have to be pretty much on top of the grass for it to work, but for a free app it did its job.

I am shocked that it works. The best use I have found is detecting nails/screws in drywall in order to find studs. It works better than a stud finder.

As for scanning the ground for something that is dropped, I had little luck.

But, I mean you are using your phone to find something metallic; do you expect it to work as perfectly as a tool designed to locate metal? No. But it sure works better than nothing and has not directed me towards nonexistent metal

I wanted to tell you guys this thing is amazing and let you know my story so I was taking my moms jewelry up to her room and I lost her wedding ring but so my mom put me on punishment and didn't really talk to me so after a few days of looking I decided to get a little help and wanted to get a metal detector and this is the first thing that popped up so I downloaded it and tried it all over the house and seconds later it was found and I waited till my mom got home to give it to her and she took me of punishment all thanks to MetalDetectorandSpyCamera download it now!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

I'm actually shocked. MetalDetectorandSpyCamera works. I'm using an iPhone 4 32g. I rarely write reviews but I noticed the 3 star average and felt compelled to recognize the quality of MetalDetectorandSpyCamera. I tested this in a handful of situations probably 10 minutes prior to writing this and it works exactly as described. It did work better without my case. I slowly move the phone over some furniture and it alerts me at the location of metal hardware. I drag it over a wall and it alerts me at the edge because of the metal corner strip. Basically worked on every magnetic item I tested on. I'd be interested to know if the developers can figure out how to make this identify the unique metals

Someone said it worked on computers and some another thing but not on lamps or ladders. Some lamps are made of brass and are not magnetic. The same goes for ladders, most are made of aluminum, fiberglass or wood. None of those are magnetic. You have to be searching for steel or metals that are magnetic. The sensor used in your device is the same sensor for your compass that senses magnetic north, just like a compass does you get out if a box of cracker jacks. It's not a metal sensor. Keep in mind, if a magnet won't stick to it, your phone won't detect it either. Stainless steel is not magnetic either.

Just when I thought I had seen pretty much everything the iPhone could do, I found MetalDetectorandSpyCamera. My guess is that it is using some function related to the compass and magnetic sensitivity. It's definitely not the camera and is only sensitive to ferrous metal as stated). I have a 6+, and MetalDetectorandSpyCamera worked perfectly. I calibrated it on a known iron pin (set sensitivity at 30) then went hunting in about a 9 sq. ft. section of grass for the next pin. MetalDetectorandSpyCamera worked perfectly with a beep when I swept over the hidden pin (sweeping fairly quickly about an inch above the grass). Awesome!

I have an extremely rare coin I took it out to look at..thinking of selling. Well I miss placed it could not remember where I set it down. Was really freaking out in complete mental breakdown call the paramedics mode. Had a thought about these apps I heard of. This seemed to have the highest rated & came out on top in the search. I went with it.. Turned on and oh my good Lord it lead me to it in 70 seconds I had set it down on the bed and this detector had me down looking under the bed the best guide EVER. I would HAVE NEVER KNOWN! As I have bed skirt DARK BROWN that covers the sides of bed and the display box the coin is in is jet BLACK. This is unbelievable to me, I'm still in shock at the extreme accuracy of MetalDetectorandSpyCamera . I found MetalDetectorandSpyCamera on a whim ok! Want to say how grateful I Am to the developers they worked hard obviously and had the knowledge of how to create very good metal detector very useful in times of emergencies! "GUARANTEED" as "my" word to work for you as needed.

I lost my ring and had absolutely no idea how to find it. So I downloaded MetalDetectorandSpyCamera in hopes that it might actually work. At first, I had very low expectations. But when I held a nail to it for a test, the sensor actually went off. I thought “this just might work.” So I started scanning for my ring and got a beep to come from inside my couch. I thought there’s no way, but when I reached in, I pulled out my ring! MetalDetectorandSpyCamera was a life saver, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who has lost something small.

Sometime ago in the hospital, where my sister was discharged. She got home and discovered that she did not have her cell phone. We went back to the hospital where 5 staff members looked in the soiled linen closet until someone used a wand to find the phone. I was so grateful I made Thanksgiving dinner for the night crew. My cell phone is lost inside a storage unit with many items. I started to buy a metal detector but decided to get MetalDetectorandSpyCamera , tested it the first time and it works.

My wife, living in China, baked some traditional Chinese pastries for the Mid-Autumn holiday. As custom would have it, she placed a 5 Jiao coin in one of the nearly 100 she baked. This is supposedly lucky for the poor guy that bites into it. When I realized she planned to give these to her friends, I began to worry what would happen if a small child ate the one with the coin, which could easily choke someone. Other than cutting into every one, I was not sure how to find the "lucky" pastry! MetalDetectorandSpyCamera came to the rescue. I was able to find the pastry which contained the small, dime sized, coin in a matter of a couple of minutes. MetalDetectorandSpyCamera works very well. Much better than the other two I tried. Thank you for making this available for free!

I seriously can’t believe this works I even tried covering my camera and it still works..... I would HIGHLY recommend MetalDetectorandSpyCamera for any on who has lost an item that happens to have some metal on it. Like for me I lost my AirPods and found them in 5 minutes. I have noticed that it reacts a little slower to alluminum... but who cares it’s a metal detector on your phone, it doesn’t get much better than that.

I downloaded MetalDetectorandSpyCamera for fun and too see if me and my friends could get anything and surprisingly we found a few things! Just to make sure we weren’t just getting lucky and it was a coincidence we held a metal shovel in front off it and it started beeping like crazy!! I would definitely recommend MetalDetectorandSpyCamera to adventures and people who just want to find some stuff.

I’ve used MetalDetectorandSpyCamera a few times and it always finds what I’m looking for. The first time, a bolt came loose of off my sons dirt bike while riding. We downloaded MetalDetectorandSpyCamera and walked the track...after five minutes of searching, I found the bolts hat had fallen off. Again, a nut rolled off into the grass on my motorcycle while cleaning the carb. MetalDetectorandSpyCamera helped me find it within seconds. Awesome!!

MetalDetectorandSpyCamera is useful finding metal objects that are very close but hidden. At maximum sensitivity, it can start registering at about 6” (short piece of rebar). Have successfully used it to find buried survey markers that are not too deep and whose location is known to within a few feet. It is not a professional tool, but it can be useful under the right circumstances.

Looked forever trying to find pipe holes in the grass for an outdoor volleyball set to set the poles in. Someone mentioned that we needed a metal detector and that they thought there was an app for it. Thought it was a long shot but searched MetalDetectorandSpyCamera store and downloaded this detector. Ran my iphone over the area where we thought it was and the dial on the meter went up and buzzed within seconds! The pipe hole was overgrown with grass and we would have never found it. MetalDetectorandSpyCamera was amazing! Thank you.

Was searching a small area in my yard for a metal property marker than had sunk into the dirt. Downloaded MetalDetectorandSpyCamera assuming it would never ever work. Figured i would try it anyways just for fun. Within 5 minutes it was able to located the marker firmly buried under 5 inches of hard clay packed dirt and mud. Very impressed! It does seem to have to be semi close to the object though. No way it would have found it if I was standing. But I worked for my specific purpose. I just ran my phone right along the ground and it picked it right up! Wish I had found this 3 days ago. I’ve been searching for the marker for 3 whole days including using a high powered magnet to try and locate it. MetalDetectorandSpyCamera saved me!!

I was so skeptical about MetalDetectorandSpyCamera. I lost my diamond necklace in my front yard and have been looking for days. I went on FB looking to borrow a metal detector and someone suggested using my phone! After I figured out how to use it; I took the cover off my phone just to be safe. You have to turn the sensitivity sensor up all way to get the constant beeping. Otherwise people suggested to two. Then this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART!!! turn your iPhone so the top of it is facing the ground. As soon as I did and used it bam! There was my necklace!!

Yesterday I started using a brand new set of throwing knives I got with my dad, but after just a few throws, I lost one and couldn’t find it despite a good 20-30 minutes of looking. This morning I got up and went outside to look some more. But when my dad came outside, he showed me MetalDetectorandSpyCamera , and I thought, “that’s definitely fake.” But after we tried it out on some metal, I got it, despite still having some doubts, and I got to work. About five minutes later, we found it.

My conclusion, one, use it on the sensitivity two above the minimum, otherwise, it’s either too weak, or way too powerful, and is ringing nonstop. Two, don’t use MetalDetectorandSpyCamera if you’re trying to be a treasure hunter or something, it’s definitely not powerful enough for that, but if you lost something metal, MetalDetectorandSpyCamera IS GREAT.

Long story short, left a house key out for the dog sitter prior to going away for the weekend. When we returned home we searched and searched but couldn't find the key anywhere. Since there's an app for everything and I was desperate I downloaded MetalDetectorandSpyCamera. How could an iPhone actually be a metal detector...I know I know. HOWEVER, I gave it a shot. Found the key in 1 minute. It works folks.
