Ensuring that a solenoid valve coil is working properly, or detecting a faulty one, is an important step in many repair or installation projects. Magnetic Tool makes testing a solenoid valve coil quick and easy. Just open the app, hold your smartphone up to the solenoid coil you want to test, and watch for the wheel in the app to start spinning. If it rotates, your solenoid valve is good to go.
If a solenoid valve is in a tough-to-reach space, you can also set Magnetic Tool to provide audio or haptic (or both) feedback when it detects a magnetic field. That way, you can check on a valve without seeing your screen, so you can maneuver your phone any way you need to.
Magnetic Tool has two modes: Simple and Advanced. With Simple mode, all you need to do is open the app and start testing—it's that simple. Advanced mode allows you to adjust the threshold tolerances of the magnetometer, which is most often used to reduce or eliminate interference from other nearby solenoid valves.
Magnetic Tool is part of the Danfoss CoolApps Toolbox, a collection of mobile apps designed to help installers and service technicians with their daily tasks. See the full collection at CoolApps.Danfoss.com.

This app doesn’t even work on my XS. Freezes as soon as you open it. Have to slide the screen up to make it start like I’m closing my page. Freezes and just goes back to the Home page. Any other apps besides this faulty one?!?!

I have an iPhone 5. Don’t know if that is what makes mine work great, but it does. I do industrial refrigeration for a living and this is more than handy. Thank you !!

Thank you for the review! Happy to hear it is working so well for you. It is nice to know it is making a difference in your daily work. We are working on making sure the app will work as expected across all iPhone models as there seems to be a problem on the XS range. Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement.
works like a charm

picks up magnetic fields a little too well, i love the ability to change sensitivity and discern between AC and DC
Improved threshold for calibration
Warning that the app will only run on supported devices
Changes and improvements
