The “close” button on the ads don’t work so you have to close the whole app! Thats annoying enough to give it 1 star.. Other than that.. poor accuracy and poor interface. The accuracy may be because of my phone but I’m using an 11 pro.. ### 1/5 — Yawn. *2020-11-20, version 1.1* Does not work. Refund me please. It’s that simple. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-10-11, version 1.1* I think this is a game not actual tool, not a single stud on the wall.. ### 1/5 — Too good to be true *2020-10-03, version 1.1* Obviously this app doesn’t work at all.

No time to even put my phone towards the wall without pop up adds ! Don’t waste your time ! I’d rather spend money on a stud finder in Amazon 💁🏻‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2022-03-03, version 1.1* Terrible doesn’t work, and adds pop up in the middle f trying to find a stud ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-01-07, version 1.1* App is just an app that has ads for other apps. Its bs and a scam ### 1/5 — Does not work!!! *2021-12-23* Did you are going to offer an app then at least make it work! Total waste of time and aggravation!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-11-16, version 1.1* After placing holes in my wall, it cannot find anything. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — They Must’ve updated the software! Legitimately works for me! *2023-11-23* Tried the old fashioned way of finding the stud but after about 6 5/32 holes in my wall I decided to turn to an app and with nothing to lose I ignored the bad reviews and gave it a shot. Turns out it worked. Just turn the sensitivity all the way up, turn on the beeper and remember to point your camera at the wall and don’t put it on the wall! ### 5/5 — I loved this app *2020-05-10, version 1.1* Always loved this app people just don’t read instructions lol doesn’t work anymore because now we have to pay. ### 5/5 — It’s awesome! *2019-05-09, version 1.1* I just downloaded, turned up the sensitivity and it found my wood studs in my drywall wall easily. I don’t know what that other reviewer is talking about. Worked perfectly! ### 5/5 — This was an awesome app until the ios update *2017-10-19, version 1.1* It stopped working ### 3/5 — Is ok. Gimmicky. *2018-03-01, version 1.1* Got me close enough to a stud I measured it out after and found it (older house didn’t know the spacing between studs) Just a hint turn your phone on airplane mode to remove ads while using the app ### 2/5 — Airplane Mode *2019-08-02, version 1.1* It kind of works.. but if you don’t want ads, best to use in airplane mode --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
