## What is Find & Place Studs?

Stud Finder uses your iPhone's magnetometer to show magnetic changes that may indicate screws, nails, pipes, or other metal in a wall.

HOW IT WORKS
• Hold your iPhone in open air, away from metal, while the app calibrates.
• Move the phone slowly across the wall.
• Watch the live magnetic signal and adjust sensitivity when needed.
• A red “Likely fastener” state appears only after the magnetic signal is confirmed.
• Use Camera marks to place optional, session-only pins on the wall.

FREE AND PRO
Scanning is free. After each likely fastener found or camera pin placed, the free tier shows a full-screen plan promotion for five seconds. It has no close button or swipe-to-dismiss path; scanning resumes automatically when the timer ends.

Both Pro options remove only that plan reminder:
• $1.99 per month
• $11.99 one-time lifetime unlock

Purchases and Restore Purchases are handled through Apple's StoreKit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
Use Stud Finder as one clue, not as a drilling-clearance tool. It cannot see wood studs, wiring, or water lines and cannot prove a safe drilling location. Confirm with appropriate tools and avoid drilling when uncertain.

PRIVACY
Magnetometer readings and optional camera imagery are processed on the device. Optional anonymous analytics are off until you opt in. With consent, Superwall receives first-use/install/launch/open/session events, five app usage events, completed transactions, an anonymous installation ID, IDFV, IP-derived approximate region, purchase status and device details. Analytics are used for measurement, not advertising or tracking. See our privacy policy.
