Stud I exposed ### 1/5 — Limited use *2026-07-25, version 2.2* No good for lathe and plaster walls ### 1/5 — What finder? *2026-07-21, version 2.2* Im a chippy so I know how to find studs but this thing with all it sensors and x ray technology could not find my wooden leg ! I’ll stick to my knuckle. ### 1/5 — It just doesn't work *2026-07-20, version 2.2* I really hoped this would work as I needed to hang a couple of heavy items. Did not find a single stud in the entire wall. Ended up going out and buying a regular one (the wall had plenty of studs...). ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2026-07-14, version 2.2* Doesn’t work even with the thinnest walls and the most obvious studs. No instructions in-app (except about how to cancel subscription). Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — If I could upload a picture of the 8 holes I would but fail *2026-07-10, version 2.2* If I could upload a picture of the 8 holes I would but fail ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2026-07-09, version 2.2* Bon à rien ### 1/5 — Totally worthless *2026-07-04, version 2.2* Horrible, does absolutely nothing. Waste of time and money ### 1/5 — app charged me full amount when i signed up for trial *2026-06-29, version 2.2* i signed up for the 3 day free trial and still was charged $30 instantly? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-06-27, version 2.2* It just makes annoying beeping sound even if you’re not using it Good thing it’s just a trial, I ended it after 2mins of use ### 1/5 — Requires subscription doesn’t work *2026-06-20, version 2.2* Unable to test the app without subscription.

No YouTube video or an operation manual ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-07, version 2.1* Didn’t find any studs at all. While a Home Depot stud finder picked them easily.

Doesn’t pick up studs. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-06-03, version 2.1* The website says this app is free with no subscriptions no charges and that’s not true. You get three days free and then they want you to pay for a subscription. That’s false advertising. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-05-31, version 2.1* Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work through walls *2026-05-25, version 2.1* Doesn’t even work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — USELESS SKIP IT DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. *2026-08-30, version 2.2* This app doesn’t work at all I wish I can give it a zero out of five.
