Doesn’t find them. Just finds the occasional nail. ### 2/5 — Worked. Now screams. *2026-02-07, version 1.8* It worked a couple weeks ago. Now it just constantly screams. I even took the case off my phone. And no current updates. ### 2/5 — Kinda worked lol *2026-01-03, version 1.8* It only takes 5 or 6 screws before you actually hit a stud ### 2/5 — Meh *2025-08-27, version 1.8* It’d be better to just use your hand and knock. ### 1/5 — Awful, don’t bother *2024-10-18, version 1.8* Put 5 meaningless holes in my drywall where this app went 0/5 in finding studs. Just save yourself the hassle and get a real one. Zero stars. ### 1/5 — Could t find 1 stud. *2024-10-08, version 1.8* Tried finding a stud on a 14’ wall.

It jumped to 70%. I put a screw in the wall. And it was the stud. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for making your encouragement as our source of inspiration. ### 5/5 — ONLY WORKING STUD FINDER APP *2026-03-25* 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. **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for making your encouragement as our source of inspiration. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-02-24* When i tell you i had no idea what i was doing and i was so nervous making holes in my drywall just for there to be no studs but when i drilled there was actually studs this app is a 10/10 **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for making your encouragement as our source of inspiration. ### 5/5 — Stud finder *2026-02-13* I’m not the one to write or use or descriptions on the reviews after a rating but for a quick free Stud Finder this one works amazing if you’re questioning, which one to use and you don’t know much about Stud Finder absolutely get this one ### 5/5 — Works and doesn’t ask you for money *2026-01-25* I literally never write reviews for apps but wanted to give this one a shoutout because it works better than the other stud finder app I tried, and, unlike that one, doesn’t ask you for money after every stud located. The basic functionality is free. I successfully found a stud with it, as confirmed by my drill. This one should be the top result! **Developer response:** Sincerely grateful for your encouraging words. It inspires to continue striving for excellence. ### 5/5 — Greatest ever!! *2025-10-17, version 1.8* This one actually works!!! I’ve never found something that cost me nothing and actually worked great! ### 5/5 — No kid anymore *2025-03-28, version 1.8* Found many studs. Thanks!!!!! I love using this app so much I forgot to pick my kid up from soccer LOL. ### 5/5 — Use graph, find Studs! *2025-03-14, version 1.8* Best free stud finder out there. Use the graph, slide phone slowly (2” per “one one-thousand” and when graph lines drop that’s a stud. Sensitivity to max helps best. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-12-25, version 1.8* Just what I needed. Great interface. ### 5/5 — Worked for me! *2024-10-01* I knew where to look for the stud I was trying to “find”, so I started in a place I thought I would find it. But, the app was very good at refining the position and gave a very clear audible signal that it had found something. I was able to locate 3 studs (presumably because the app detects the nails/ screws). This app offers a fantastic chance to find a stud instead of buying a proprietary device for ££!
