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.

ONLY WORKING STUD FINDER APP

I downloaded 2 more apps along with this one, this was the only one working properly. One asked me to pay money and didn’t work(3day free subscription), the other one was also kept asking me to buy subscription and didn’t worked. This app was DEAD ACCURATE. No paywall, no bs, pure efficiency.
