Stud Finder

Excellent app. Only one I could get that actually located the studs behind the plasterboard. This was the third one I downloaded and the only one that worked. Well done.

After downloading a first app and spent £5.00 on it for nothing (😡) I tried this second app, free this time decided in not wasting any more money on a gadget! This app did not work either at the beginning and I was about to uninstall it too… when suddenly, after following the instructions, I went to gradually increase changing the detector sensitivity until reaching a value of 85. Eureka! I suddenly had a reading and a loud and clear alarm when passing over a very specific area on my wall, where the stud supposedly is. I will make an attempt of drilling a hole tomorrow and I will update my review accordingly, based on my success or not for finding the exact location of the stud!

Does not work at all, it detects studs in midair yet when you put it over a screw, nail or fixing of any type it doesn’t find it!! Purely a gimmick

Absolutely rubbish !

Bombarded by apps adverts immediately after touching screen to investigate app functions.

Either hyper sensitive or not sensitive at all. Don’t bother

I downloaded this app, removed my phone case and tested whether it detected metal in a large steel radiator. It did not

Rubish

Not as good as an actual stud finder but it works! Here’s something that I hope helps. Take a nail or something metal, and hold it still in one hand. Set your sensitivity to 50%. Slowly move your phone forward towards the nail till it beeps. Take note of how far away it was. Consider also the thickness of the wall the paint, etc as you readjust the sensitivity. Try it again till you get a close-ish approximation of how far you’d be holding your phone from an actual stud in the wall. For me it turned out at 80%. Saw for some it turns out to work at 70-75%. But every phone and every wall is different. Measured several sections of wall and marked each point my phone beeped. Sure enough it formed a pretty even pattern and vertically every stud was around 16 inches apart. Not bad!

Will be buying full version to support the developer, but this is a really great app and was able to find studs that were behind plywood and Drywall with the app. Just had to turn the sensitivity up.
