Stud Detector

Wanted to put up a tv wall mount and decided to use this app. This thing was so OFF it was ridiculous. I put 3 holes in my wall that were a good 5 or 6 inches away from the actual stud. $15 for a real stud detector is a worthwhile investment of you'd like to avoid the frustration and headaches.

I think its important to emphasize that this is a screw detector or metal detector not a wood detector. I put 3 holes in wall with my own estimates of 16 inches off a switch and found I was 1 inch off where I found the stud. It's important to find the exact spot on your phone where the magnet is. It took my case and back cover off and found the spot and used a screw to do that. Then first attempt I hit the stud!

It found the stud at the very top of my stairs where i knew there would be one. But it would not find a stud on the wall behind my couch. It went off really loudly upstairs but the lights just flickered downstairs. I tried it where it flickered and it was not a stud. I am giving it 3 stars because i believe some of it may be that i do not understand how the app works so i did not use it right.

It's not perfect, probably because the magnetometer is detecting nails instead of wood, so I had to move up and down as well as back and forth. Nonetheless, after I got a signal three times at the same place on the wall, I drove the nail, and there was indeed a stud there. The app worked.

This worked great. Found studs in under a minute, you're a fool if you spend money on one of these in a store. That being said I just needed it to find a wooden stud behind thin sheet rock but sure as hell beats buying a real one.

This app is trash. It doesn't find studs it only works based off of movement and distance. Anyone can look up and find the basic distance of inches between each stud.

If you can't use this app properly, then you are not wheat! Give the app one star because you are too stupid to use it? Either your device has a magnetic sensor, or it doesn't (trash phone, likely pre-paid) . Not the apps fault if you don't. This app worked perfect.

Incorrect. Horrible. Don't waste your time with this completely inaccurate tool. Spend the money on an actual stud detector and get the job done right the first time.

Great app, used a screw to find the most sensitive area on my phone, found the screw in the wall and in turn found the stud. Only Improvement I see would be a switch to activate instead of holding the button down. I'm fumble fingers so I dropped my phone trying to do the both.

At first I was a little skeptical but when I used it, it actually found the metal stud in a few seconds. Very accurate and helpful. Thank you for making this great tool.

I had the idea to finally use the TV wall mount but I didn't know for sure where to screw it in. This app worked great! The TV looks really good on the wall too.

First try it found a nail in a stud I already knew was there. So, I tried to find a "stud" or nail actually without Knowing where the stud was, and i found it once again. Not bad, it does what it says nothing more.

Thought this was a joke. No way possible that it would work. Well I have two holes to the left, two holes to the right and bingo. With this app I found the stud. Amazing. Still kind of in awe. Sony Xperia

I don't know how it actually works... But it did actually work. What helped me fine tune this app: Hold up a screw to the back of the phone to determine where the magnetic field is to fine tune where the stud actually is.

I used this app to find the metal base for my clothes dryer which had been lost under grass and moss. Well pleased.

I punched 34 holes in my wall because I was so mad and the 34th punch I found the stud, I put the stud finder over that spot 20 times and it never detected it.

It seems to work best if you continously move the phone from side to side slowly (about a feet) around the studs to find the location precisely. Also the magnetic field sensor is not usually in the center of the phone, mine seems to be close to the flash in a Galaxy S7.

I did as it says. My phone tested positive for a magnetic strip, but according to the app, my walls have zero studs......

This app works better than the store bought tool I've had for years. If you can't use this app, either you haven't read the instructions or you need practice with a stud finder. Incredible job dev.

Test on obvious locations on wall 1st. Then worked my way in. Lights went off as described.

I used this app on my Samsung S7 and it picked up the studs in my walls that are covered by plaster and lath. I am super impressed!

This app has found where my studs are within a plasterboard wall with accuracy. I am now able to mount my TV on the wall. Thanks!

Works perfectly. You idiots who can't get this work need to read the instructions.

Easy to use. Did exactly what I needed it to. 4 bc the instructions are a touch confusing on how to calibrate

It didn't know the difference between a screw or the air that we breathe

This works better than my $30 stud finder. It even works over the extra thick drywall in the garage!

It finds studs while moving around my phone in the air away from the wall. Failed the test.

Didn't work for me. Kept beeping in spots where I knew there were no studs.

This is the most helpful app and it works great! Worked within seconds and worked great! This is by far the most awesome app I have on my phone!

Works but there is a catch. It gives off false positives. So before you go popping holes in your wall get a magnet to verify it detected a nail (and subsequently a stud) You can buy a pack of magnets from your local department store for about $2. I found mine in the picture hanging aisle. Right across from the $15 stud finder.

This app sucks, put so many holes in my wall trying to find one and never did, really disappointed

Jeremy as the teacher used to say you gotta share with the class... post up some clips on youtube bro... hehe.

Found the studs without any problems...Worked really well and just as advertised...If you need to find the studs use this app...Tried a couple of the others and they don't work nearly as well.

I couldn't believe it, easy to use and accurate

I spend almost 2 hours finding the stud using my old stud finder and this app took only few minutes to find it. I am so happy it saved me $15

Took a couple tries but it worked! And the best part is I didn't have to spend a dime!

Could not tell where to mark a spot. It would beep and then stop as if it found it and lost it at the same time.

Worked great but is so annoying keeps going off even in my pocket

Worked for me like a charm ;-)

I have 3 holes in my wall now.
