It's skunky and self-defeating to remove the onboard camera functionality. As a result alternative apps such as Rolf Dieter Klein's Radioactivity Detector or GammaPix will be downloaded instead.

They removed the use of your phone's camera. App's existence is a waste of electrons now.

This app has tremendous potential to save lives during a nuclear disaster by allowing the most effective fallout shelter to be identified. At first I didn't think it worked because it didn't respond to input to either camera, but I figured out I had to run the error correction routine first, and then press the Measure button, which is no longer grayed out. The warning that the detection process may heat the phone makes it sound battery intensive, which would make this unsuitable as a continuous monitoring device. My main suggestion, by far, is to offer some documentation from the Home screen to help users get started. I wonder how many one star reviews here were just users who didn't guess the right buttons to push to get started. Edit 1/25/18: Since I seldom use the front camera of my Galaxy S5, I thought to leave it covered so I could run GammaGuard in the background. But when I try to use the front camera with GammaGuard it invariably crashes. Testing the back camera for more than a few seconds causes the app to crash in that case too.

Nice application, no malware additions like Peel Remote.

It failed to connect to the camera in both my ZTE phone and my LG phone. Even if it worked, it would display junk data. The author seems to have no real understanding of radiation measurement.

About this app

ATTENTION: This app is being replaced by our new version of GammaGuard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eic.gammaguard) which has support for all of our devices and new features

ATTENTION: All camera detector functionality has been removed from GammaGuard. More information here: http://www.gammawatch.com/gammaguard-camera-detector-removal/

GammaGuard allows a wireless connection to CT007 radiation detectors for enhanced functionality and an improved UI.

• Provides a large, easy to read display.
• Has the ability to interpret readings for non-technical users.
• Uses one consistent user interface across all CT007 series detectors, so that there is only one system to learn.
• Can automatically save data, including GPS coordinates, to a file and upload data to a central database, facilitating coordinated incident response.
• Alerts the user to elevated radiation levels, even when you are performing other tasks and GammaGuard is running in the background.
• Displays the radiation level when the CT007 detector is up to 40 m away from the smartphone.
• Changes background from green, to yellow, to red, to indicate low, elevated, and high levels of radiation.
• Can update the firmware on CT007 detectors, to ensure they are always up to date.
