Scammer Does not work
No page inside the app. It does not work. Scammer, need refund. There is no way to get the refund
Worked for me
The free version detected the three studs on my drywall. The pro version would probably be a lot more user friendly and is reasonably priced.
Only free 10 seconds then 10sec ad, repeat
I’m guessing I found a stud in the 10 seconds the app allows you to scan followed by a 10 seconds ad to purchase their untimed/ad free app version. Even though it’s only $1.99, I’ll go with another app I found that’s free, accurate, and doesn’t have the annoying ad every 10 seconds for free
So many interruptions
I downloaded this app from a recommendation and it works well but it interrupts you every 3 seconds of use forced to wait a time limit to use again unless you upgrade. At this point just make it a paid app instead of torturing the free users with interruptions and pop ups every few seconds.
Review
Really good
Pain to Use
Trial version is useless and constantly pushing to upgrade by blocking free trial usage. Horrible!
Free version bad
I tried to use this app just for some helping finding studs to hang wall art and literally every 10 secs it pauses … says you need to pay $1.99 to remove the time feature. Makes the app pretty unusable. Unless you’re willing to pay that price just just a different stud finder app

Useless
Can’t use the app for 5 seconds without being diverted to a paywall asking you to upgrade to premium.
Not that great
Not great, won’t alert in the same place twice on the same wall. Because of the delay or pay thing it’s hard to tell if it works, I refuse to pay for apps unless they actually function properly.
Yeah
Trying it out
Do not get
You only get to use for 5 seconds before you have to wait 10 seconds to use again. The constant pausing make this app unusable
Marginal function
I tried to use this to find studs. Never worked. I signed up for the free trial. The free period made it worse asking me every time I tried to use it to sign up again. Was a waste of my time. I cancelled within an hour.
Best little finder ever!!!
Just the best
Scam
There is zero way to cancel if you upgrade.
Not functional
This app detected hard surfaces (metal door frame) but did not differentiate studs
Does what it says on the tin
All these people bitterly complaining about having to pay £1.99 to use this app without interruption is HILARIOUS. A stud finder from the shops costs about £20, so this is a bargain, and it works. If £1.99 is still too expensive you can still use the app for free, with lots of little 10 second breaks, and buy yourself a cheese sandwich from Tesco with all that money you just saved yourself.
Only detects metal
Studs are made of wood
Detects metal not wood
Just not practice. No where near the effectiveness of what you would actually need for finding studs. Waste of $.

It’s not free
This app is a joke, it kept popping up adds for $1.99 upgrade every .10 seconds. All I need is to find a stud once why would I pay a fee from a free app?
Metal studs only.
I paid the £1.99 which is cheap but then noticed that it is only for metal not timber studs. Tried to get money back but wasn’t able to contact anybody but will keep trying.
انصح بالرنامج
ممتاز جدا جدا .. وضح لي عواميد السور كانت مش واضحه وفعلا" حددها لي صح .. بنسبة 90 ٪ انصح بشرائه من الستور
Nothing but ads
You can only use the app for about 5 seconds before being prompted to upgrade or wait 10 seconds to continued followed by the same pop up only 5-10 seconds later
Ok
It beeps for no reason but i could see if my sister was using tech in her room and it beeped LOL
Did not work
This app does not find studs. Waste of time.
Horrible
Only get a short timer or pay $2. Doesn’t even work
