Hold Digital Geiger Counter flat and face up. 2. Smoothly tilt Digital Geiger Counter's 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.

Good for a prank but doesn't get to that high of CPM Please update it and make differnet beep noises.
Exactly what it says it is - easy to fool people - u control it by tilting and shifting your thumb over the radiation symbol - the flashlight flickering with measurement is a cool feature
He just didn’t put the instructions on the top of the description.
Barely works - dumb. How difficult could it have been to make this sound off more?!? Rarely makes any noise... smh
This is not a real Geiger counter and dose not measure real radiation. If you want a real radiation detector then you will need to look on EBay or Amazon. In order for a device to measure radiation particles it NEEDS a geiger tube. This is simply a app that lets you mess around and play jokes on people.
Why would I want to buy something that doesn’t work for real, I feel taken advantage of. I don’t want a toy, I want the real thing.piss off
I have tried everything including vigorously shaking my iPad and my iPhone... the only thing that happens is the words somehow change to Russian. Thanks for stealing a dollar from me.
Very spotty. Have tried everything to get it to go to higher levels. It’s very inconsistent. Would really like better instructions. Could be a lot of fun.
