Stop relying on guesswork, save time, and avoid costly damage to your walls using advanced sensor technology. How It Works 1-) Open the app. 2-) Place the back of your phone flat against the wall. 3-) Slowly slide your device across the surface you want to scan. 4-) Watch the on-screen indicators and listen for audio/haptic alerts as you approach a hidden stud, metal, or wire.
