Do not get

You only get to use for 5 seconds before you have to wait 10 seconds to use again. The constant pausing make this app unusable

Scam

There is zero way to cancel if you upgrade.

Only detects metal

Studs are made of wood

It’s not free

This app is a joke, it kept popping up adds for $1.99 upgrade every .10 seconds. All I need is to find a stud once why would I pay a fee from a free app?

Nothing but ads

You can only use the app for about 5 seconds before being prompted to upgrade or wait 10 seconds to continued followed by the same pop up only 5-10 seconds later

Did not work

This app does not find studs. Waste of time.

Horrible

Only get a short timer or pay $2. Doesn’t even work

Free version bad

I tried to use this app just for some helping finding studs to hang wall art and literally every 10 secs it pauses … says you need to pay $1.99 to remove the time feature. Makes the app pretty unusable. Unless you’re willing to pay that price just just a different stud finder app

Can’t even try

Dialog box pops up ever few seconds

Not that great

Not great, won’t alert in the same place twice on the same wall. Because of the delay or pay thing it’s hard to tell if it works, I refuse to pay for apps unless they actually function properly.

Free version is almost useless

It’s annoying. I’ll give my $2 to harbor freight.

Pop up upgrade window doesn’t allow for free use

Well, this app may work, you are not given enough time to even find a stud before a window pops up for you to pay for an upgrade then you press continue after 10 seconds and it pops up again. Useless. Deleted.

Enjoy your 8 second free trial

Not even joking don’t bother with this

Deleted after 5 minutes

Constant pop up to upgrade to premium for 1.99. It’s inconsistent even when working due to its metal sensitivity being messed with everyday objects.

Just Buy a Regular Stud Finder at Home Depot

Opened this up just to test it out so I could try to mount my TV. I had it pressed against the wall for 5 seconds and then all of a sudden got a pop-up that said I either had to pay $2 or wait 10 seconds before using app again. Just buy an actual stud finder: it costs just as much and doesn’t require you to update or pay more to use it for more than 5 seconds.

False Advertising!!

Calls itself "stud finder" but can only detect metal...studs are wood by definition.

What a waste

Waste of time and money

Stupid

Doesn’t let you search for more then a second

Hard to trust

Can’t go more than 10 seconds without it asking you to upgrade. And it didn’t seem trustworthy.

Ad every 10-15 secs

What my title saying, I can’t even work with the app
