FEATURES

• easy-to-read LCD display measures spurious hazards from background to extreme levels
• oversized numeric meter easily switchable from microsieverts to millirem or count per minute scales
• realistic digital counter from 0.10 μSv/h to 100 μSv/h (0.01 mrem/h to 10 mrem/h)
• authentic audio click rate, easily mutable for library or classroom use
• versatile alpha, beta, and gamma modes
• dual tilt-sensitive and touch-sensitive controls
• audio synchronized iPhone camera flash adds to the tension

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Hold Digital Geiger Counter flat and face up.

2. Smoothly tilt Digital Geiger Counters face to the left or right on the x-axis to increase levels.

3. Surreptitiously touch and hold the yellowish radiation symbol on the bottom left of the screen with your thumb to boost levels if necessary. The outside circle edge gives minimal boost, slowly increasing to maximum boost in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

4. For best results with Digital Geiger Counter, practice subtly combining both tilt and touch control methods. Also try twisting Digital Geiger Counter as you move it towards your target. Be slow and smooth.

WARNING

Digital Geiger Counter is meant for entertainment purposes only and is entirely ineffective at detecting actual ionizing radiation. Digital Geiger Counter is factory-calibrated to the x-axis and contains no user-serviceable parts.

Latest reviews of Digital Geiger Counter - Prank Radiation Detector app for iPhone and iPad

Rad u
I always suspected that those condo owners meetings were radioactive - especially when the treasurer goes on and on about parking issues. Now I can prove to everyone that they are indeed radioactive. And i can refuse to give rides to deadbeats at work if the geiger counter detects radiation on their shoes. This is a rad unit.
Awesome!
Cant wait to try this in different parts of the world to "prove" that some places have more natural radiation than an exploded power plant! Great use of the iPhone XY axes.
Good App
Good app, but I would like to say that pressing the yellow radiation icon causes extreme sensitivity with the meter. Nice to fool people with!
