Doesn’t work.
What it does do is force a bunch of full screen ads on you.
It seems designed to just be a way to push ads.

Working fine!

I don’t have a professional stud finder to compare but the app actually seems to work based on the wiring locations. Pretty useful for a phone app!

Only works on metal studs

For me this was a waste of time because my house has walls with wooden studs. Doesn’t find them. Just finds the occasional nail.

Worked for me

I literally just put my TV up just now using this app no BS I was moving around my wall and it was staying at like 50% then I moved to a certain spot. It jumped to 70%. I put a screw in the wall. And it was the stud.
