The newest app from the makers of Email n Walk!

Detect nearby metal objects with your device! Amaze your friends by showing the magic of your electronic compass.

This sucker actually works! Hold it near a metal object and watch the needles show you the magnetic fields in action!

Note: You need an iPhone 3Gs in order for this to work because we use the internal compass to detect magnetic fields.

Also: If it gets stuck beeping, move your device around in a figure-8 or just shake it around a bit until it stops.

Pros and cons of Metal Detector Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Metal Detector Pro app good for

Works well. I also like the three sensor readouts - a must for the engineer in me. :) Nicely done app. Thanks!
DOES NOT WORK ON 3G. IF YOU GAVE IT A BAD REVIEW BECAUSE IT "DIDNT WORK", YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
It works... Its free... So shut up and stop hating, especially if you dont have 3gs!
It doesnt work that good like a real metal detector but its still cool to show ppl that u hve a metal detector in it new iPhone 3g s
When will they create it for iPhone 3g now I have to wait till Christmas for the 3gs
It seems to work and reacts in various ways, even with sound. I would like to get a bit more information about the meters and on what is it more sensitive. Very good app. Please give us more information!

Some bad moments

Doesnt work unless you allow it to your your current location......then it still doesnt work.....only way i got it to beep was of o waved the phone around quickly....... Maybe its get better with updates, cool idea anyway
Nice free app. Probably looks better as a metal detector than it functions as a one. It doesnt recognize coins or keys; but if you are two inches away from metal otherwise, it does alert you. Guess the only practical purpose would be to determine if something is indeed metal, as it wont help you find anything missing, probably. However, does seem to work to some degree at detecting metal, and how many other phones can say that? Also, thank you for the free app Phase2 Media!
This app needs a picture to show where the iPhone magnetometer is physically, so the app can be properly tested. So far it works poorly.
Only works if I let it use my location. Even though there is absolutely no reason it would need to. Magnetic readings are totally random.
It only responds to movement it didnt. Work it doesnt respond to metal dont get this app its a rip off
this app is freakin stupid Id didnt even show up on my freakin iPod I rate it freakin zero stars
