Features & Capabilities

Stud Finder - Metal Detector is a wall scanner app that uses a magnetometer to detect metal behind walls, such as nails, screws, and wiring. It provides an audible beep and a red indicator when metal is detected.

How it works: 1) Turn on the app. 2) Place the back of your phone against the wall. 3) Move the phone along the wall. 4) If metal is detected, you’ll hear a beep and the indicator turns red.

User Reviews

Overall, reviews mostly describe the app as unreliable and often unusable. Common issues include incompatibility with current iPhone models (15/16/Pro), failure to detect studs, and frequent ads or loading problems that prevent use. Billing problems are also reported, with cancellations still being charged. A few users report accuracy or cost/time savings when it does work, but reliability and billing concerns dominate, with rare positive exceptions.

Pros

Quite accurate
Can save money and time by avoiding a traditional stud finder
Some users consider it a nice app and a potential alternative to hardware

Cons

Doesn’t work or frequently fails to detect studs
Compatibility issues with iPhone models (e.g., iPhone 15, iPhone 16, Pro Max) and device cases
Ad-heavy interface and loading/issues preventing use
Subscriptions and charges after cancellation
Claims of misleading functionality or scams (e.g., 'No finder' / cryptocurrency pitches)
