MagnetMeter

Visualize device magnetometer and accelerometer readings in several modes.

Our take

Useful for recreational sensor experiments

Absolute/relative field displays and axis views make changes around the device visible.

Keep in mind: Recreational only: it cannot reliably establish hidden wires/pipes, safe drilling areas or a geographic position; interference and sensor calibration affect readings.

What you can do

  • Magnetic field/compass-style views
  • Relative field comparison
  • Acceleration and axis-rotation display

Good for

  • People exploring non-critical device sensors

Consider alternatives for

  • A certified wall scanner, survey instrument or primary navigation tool

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 10.0.
  • Recreational only: it cannot reliably establish hidden wires/pipes, safe drilling areas or a geographic position; interference and sensor calibration affect readings.

Privacy & permissions

Review sensor/location permissions actually requested; do not assume a GPS-free mode means every map/compass-related function is private.
