More About Stud Finder - Wall Scanner
🔍 Why You Need This App:
With so many electrical cables, metal pipes, nails, screws, and studs hidden inside walls, it’s essential to check before drilling, nailing, or renovating. Our app uses your device’s magnetic sensor to detect the presence of ferromagnetic materials like steel or iron, helping you avoid damage or danger.
✅ Key Features:
• Easy-to-use magnetic detection interface
• Multiple scan modes: Meter View, Graph View, Sensor Values, Digital Readings
• Detect nails, screws, studs, and other metallic objects
• Works best on drywall, wood, and some concrete surfaces
• Real-time magnetic field visualization
• Infrared detection tips for spotting hidden objects
• Best results within 15–25 cm distance
• Suitable for detecting metal in wardrobes, beds, and wooden furniture
📊 Detection Modes:
• Digital View – Get a digital magnetic field reading
• Meter View – Watch real-time changes in sensor output
• Sensor Value – Monitor magnetic field values in microTesla
• Graph View – Visualize spikes that may indicate a stud
⚙️ How It Works:
This app reads the magnetic sensor values from your device. When the phone gets closer to a metallic or magnetic object hidden inside a surface, the sensor detects a spike in the electromagnetic field, helping you identify the location.
📌 Stud Finder Tips & Tricks:
• Move phone slowly across the surface
• Avoid electronic interference from other devices
• Test on a known metal object to understand readings
• Use in well-lit areas to identify additional signs
• Ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms, wardrobes, changing rooms, and outdoor sheds
📱 Device Compatibility:
This app works only on phones that have a built-in magnetic sensor. Not all smartphones are equipped with one. If the app shows no detection or low response, your device may not have the required sensor. Approximately 86% of modern smartphones include magnetic sensors.
🧠 Common Use Cases:
• Before drilling into a wall
• Hanging frames, TVs, or shelves
• DIY furniture setup
• Scanning hotel rooms or wooden panels
• Home improvement projects
📌 Note: This app is not intended for spying or surveillance. It follows Google Play policies strictly and is designed to detect only magnetic fields that help identify physical metallic objects.
📢 Disclaimer:
Results may vary depending on your phone model, the thickness of the wall or material, and the type of object being detected. Always double-check results with professional tools when necessary.

This app is amazing! It uses electromagnetic field detection to accurately locate studs, wires, and other hidden objects behind walls. I was skeptical at first, but it really works—especially for finding electrical wiring. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the EMF readings are surprisingly precise. A must-have tool for anyone doing home improvement or electrical work. Highly recommended!

This app would be great to use if only my phone was compatible. I did however check out all that features it has to offer. I like how it uses the magnetic sensor that your phone would have to find studs making it convenient for you.

Needed to find some studs for a TV mount. I've heard that there are apps that can do it, so I gave this one a shot as it's the best rated. Was suspicious of the developer's name; it's no secret that people use ad-infested mobile apps as a Get Rich Quick scheme, and naming your business "rich dev" isn't particularly subtle. So—unsurprisingly—the app did nothing useful, it just flashed ads at every click. Promptly uninstalled.

I like this app so far and I've been looking for a decent stud finder so I can hang some things on my walls. I need to learn the ranges and numbers a little more though. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to find a stud in their homes, offices or wherever they might need it. ....🍀🍀

The stud finder app is amazing right on target for finding the studs. it's got three different views so anyone can understand how to use it. plus the sensor calibration is right on . the app itself is pretty self explanatory. not to many ads which is a bonus.
