2026-07-22	Cr*****	I think it uses the wireless charging thing in the phone, but I’m very impressed. It won’t work as well as an actual metal detector, obviously, but if you turn up the sensitivity if you aren’t around a lot of metal and turn it down if you are, you’ll be fine. FYI once it finds something, you have to kind of move very slowly to find the precise location, as it has some kind of slight delay. Also, when you pull away from the location that the app says the metal is, turn the scanner off then back on before you use again. I found it goes kind of unpredictably haywire once it goes off for a couple of seconds, which can be mitigated by turning the scanner off and on. It’s a 5 star for an app, but compared to a real metal scanner it’s closer to a 3 star. It gets the job done and genuinely impressed me. Hope this helps anyone. It helped me determine whether the stud in my room was wood or metal.

2025-06-05	Pr*****	this seemed like a fine app, but it didn’t help with finding studs, which was what I needed. the problem is that i couldn’t find an option to cancel my “subscription” in the app - sent them an email, hope that works!
