Doesn’t work
Response from developer
Thank you for the detailed feedback. The app detects the metal screws and nails that fasten the stud rather than the wood itself — and those fasteners are spaced along the stud, so a single spot may show nothing even directly over it. Scanning slowly and checking 30–40 cm above or below the same line usually reveals them. Calibrating away from metal objects and raising the sensitivity also improves detection.
Yay

Sorry to hear it didn't detect anything for you — that's almost always fixable. The app senses the metal screws and nails inside studs with your iPhone's magnetometer, so it helps to calibrate away from any metal, hold the phone flat against the wall and scan slowly; raising the sensitivity helps on thicker walls. On lath-and-plaster walls detection is naturally weaker. Give it another try with these steps — we'd love to change your mind.
Cheating you, it’s totally a fraud
Awful doesn’t work
Response from developer
Thanks for testing on an exposed stud — that's actually the key detail: the sensor reacts to metal fasteners, not bare wood, so over exposed timber the reading won't move. Scan along the line where screws or nails sit (roughly every 30–40 cm vertically) with sensitivity raised and you should see clear spikes.
Limited use
What finder?
Response from developer
The wooden leg was safe — the app detects the metal screws in studs, not wood. On plasterboard, a slow sweep might surprise you.
It just doesn't work
Response from developer
Sorry it didn't deliver when you had real work to do. The app finds studs by sensing their metal screws and nails, so technique matters: calibrate away from metal, keep the phone flat on the wall, sweep slowly with sensitivity raised. Many 'found nothing' cases turn around with those steps — worth one more try before the hardware finder gets all the credit.
Utterly useless
Response from developer
The app does work on standard walls — it senses the metal screws and nails inside studs via your phone's magnetometer. Quick guide: calibrate away from metal, hold the phone flat on the wall, sweep slowly and raise sensitivity until you see clear spikes. We're also expanding the in-app tips based on feedback like yours.
If I could upload a picture of the 8 holes I would but fail
Response from developer
Sorry about the wall. A beep marks metal — occasionally a pipe or strap rather than a stud fastener — so before drilling, confirm with a second reading 30–40 cm directly above or below: studs are continuous, pipes usually aren't vertical lines of fasteners. That double-check saves both walls and weekends.
Ne fonctionne pas
Response from developer
Désolé pour cette expérience. L'application fonctionne bel et bien : elle détecte les vis et clous métalliques dans les montants via le magnétomètre du téléphone. Calibrez loin de tout métal, placez le téléphone à plat contre le mur et balayez lentement en augmentant la sensibilité — les pics apparaîtront au-dessus des fixations.
Totally worthless
Response from developer
It does do something — it reads your phone's magnetometer and reacts over the metal screws and nails inside studs. If nothing registered, the usual cause is calibrating near metal or sensitivity left low: recalibrate away from metal objects and sweep slowly. Those two steps fix most 'nothing happens' cases.
app charged me full amount when i signed up for trial
Does not work
Good thing it’s just a trial, I ended it after 2mins of use
Response from developer
Constant beeping isn't a malfunction — it means the sensor was calibrated near metal or sensitivity is set high, so it keeps triggering. Recalibrate away from metal objects and the beeps will only fire over actual fasteners. Two minutes is a short verdict for a sensor tool, but thanks for trying it.
Requires subscription doesn’t work
Response from developer
The free trial exists exactly so you can test everything before paying. Detection works by sensing the metal screws and nails inside studs — calibrate away from metal, sweep slowly with sensitivity raised and the readings spike over fasteners. Give those steps a try during the trial.
