User reviews

Works surprisingly well

Had no idea a phone could do this but this app worked surprisingly well. I still don’t think it’s as accurate as a dedicated stud finder device but it works in a pinch. Was able to locate close enough to a stud and get the job done

Amazing

Stud Finder is a really helpful app for DIY projects and home repairs. 🔧 I’d use it before drilling to scan the wall for metal fasteners, pipes, rebar, or conduit. The live gauge, haptic alerts, calibration, and two scan modes make it easy to use. It also stores scans locally, so your results stay on your phone.

Stud Finder App uses your phone's built-in magnetometer to detect ferrous metals like nails, screws, pipes, and rebar within walls. It finds studs by locating the metal fasteners holding them in place.

What are the two scan modes in Stud Finder App?

Stud Mode is tuned for faint signals from nails and screws marking stud edges, while Metal Mode detects stronger fields from pipes, rebar, and steel studs. Both are free to use.

Does Stud Finder App have ads?

Can Stud Finder App detect wood studs directly?
