I better not get charged and I am actively trying to cancel ### 1/5 — Not clear instructions *2024-12-30, version 1.0.18* Not a clue how it works I’ve tried to figure it out ### 1/5 — Scam!!! *2024-12-30, version 1.0.18* Don’t install and do not pay for it steals your money when you sign up. If installed delete from home on your phone and you’ll be given the option to end subscription ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2024-12-30, version 1.0.18* This app was quick to charge me but did not work at all! What a rip off!!! Wouldn’t even rate it with one star but I had to rate it with something to write a review !! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work - Scam *2024-12-29, version 1.0.18* App does not work and no way to cancel the app to get refund. Followed up with the only support email I could find with no response. This is theft. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-27, version 1.0.18* More of a gimmick ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, no refunds *2024-12-20, version 1.0.18* So I followed all of the instructions (remove your phone case, magnets etc) and it worked GREAT once. The next time I went to use it, it showed nothing and I ended up finding the studs by knocking on the wall. So 3/5 for being disappointing, but a 1/5 because they refused to issue a refund. I don’t want a refund because I forgot to cancel, it’s because it doesn’t work. Take the same money and buy a stud finder on Amazon, delay that project a day, it’ll be okay! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-12-20, version 1.0.18* It does not work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake *2026-02-07, version 2.0.3* It’s not free don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — This is stupid *2025-11-30, version 2.0.3* It literally says the entire wall is a stud. Even if my phone is just in the air with me holding it. It says thats a stud too. Before it even touches the wall! Its so stupid and a waste of money ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-11-20, version 2.0.2* Can not get the stud finder to work at all!!! ### 1/5 — Scan never started working, ever *2025-11-19, version 2.0.2* Pretty sure this is a scam. “Start Scan” button never activated anything. Will immediately charge back and kind of nonsense that appears on my card since I’m uninstalling and removing right now. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-06-21, version 2.0.0* I know how to use stud finders, and this thing doesn’t work at all. I tried to cancel it within the first hour of trying it and could not figure a way how to do it. Do not download this app! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-04-16, version 1.0.18* Tried to use was worthless. Cancelled crazy $9 per week fee but got charged anyway. 2 appeals denied its all a scam. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-04-06, version 1.0.18* I started the free trail and was charged 9.99 when it was supposed to be free and then the app does not work it doesn’t find studs scam and ripoff contacting Apple for a refund ### 1/5 — Waist of time *2025-04-06, version 1.0.18* Waste of time, doesn’t work ### 1/5 — did not work *2025-03-31, version 1.0.18* did not work ### 1/5 — What a Scam App *2025-03-20, version 1.0.18* I downloaded the app with the 3 day trial and I got charged immediately.

I’ve never placed anything on a wall and was told to use a stud finder and followed the directions of what I was told! This app found the stud so fast and so accurate!!!! ### 5/5 — Stud finder *2024-04-07, version 1.0.2* Worked great!!!! ### 4/5 — Doesn’t work for wood. Only metal. *2025-01-20, version 1.0.18* Solid for metal. Obviously. ### 3/5 — Only works right next to super magnetic things *2024-11-26, version 1.0.18* Doesn’t work to find studs in a wall. Ended up with multiple holes running into metal and screws. Would work if you need to test if something you’re holding is magnetic --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
