## Description

Turn the magnetic sensor in your phone into a metal detector: find the screws and nails that hold a stud, and estimate where the stud runs.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>Calibrate on a clear patch of wall, then slide the phone sideways. The reading climbs as you approach metal and peaks right over it. Mark the spot, then drill with confidence.<br><br>WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR<br>Hanging a TV, mounting shelves, putting up pictures and mirrors, tracing screws and nails in drywall, and checking a spot before it becomes a hole.<br><br>TWO MODES<br>Metal Detector reads magnetic field strength on an LED ladder or an analog dial. Stud Finder maps a run of wall so you can see where the fixings sit.<br><br>BUILT FOR REAL WALLS<br>Adjustable sensitivity, peak hold, one-tap recalibration, light and dark themes.<br><br>PRO<br>Unlock unlimited scanning, every meter style and full sensitivity control.<br><br>What it can and cannot do: the app reads your device&#39;s magnetometer, so it detects metal. It finds the fixings that hold a stud, not the timber itself, and gives an estimate rather than a measurement. It cannot see through walls, it does not detect wood, and it does not detect live electrical wiring. Always check before you drill.<br><br>• Metal detector with an LED bar or an analog dial<br>• Stud finder mode that maps a run of wall as you slide<br>• Adjustable sensitivity, peak hold and one-tap calibration<br>• Works on drywall, plasterboard, lath and plaster<br>• Locate the screws, nails, brackets and conduit in a wall before you drill<br>• Light and dark themes, 32 languages, no account needed
