Questions
Is Magnet Hunt free?
Free: Classic Chase for 2 players, the field view and Test your magnet. Magnet Hunt Pro is a one time unlock. No subscription.
What does Pro add?
Up to 8 players, three more modes (Timed Blitz, Blindfold and Triple Hide), a field graph, a field direction needle and XYZ axes, three more hunt sounds and four more looks: Aurora Field, Ember Core, Crystal Lattice and Midnight Forge.
What should I hide?
A magnet. Small round fridge magnets usually show up from about 10 to 25 cm away and strong neodymium magnets from further. Keys, spoons and flat advert magnets only register within a few cm. Use Test your magnet to check yours.
Is it a metal detector?
No. It senses magnets and steel close to the phone. It cannot find gold, coins or anything buried.
Does it work on every phone?
It needs a magnetometer, the sensor a phone compass uses. Most Android phones have one; the app tells you if yours does not.
