It actually works! I mean it's impossible to get an accurate result, but it gives you a general idea of where the studs are based on the small spikes in the magnetic reading from the nails. It works enough to make the job easier. This is from a Samsung S3 mini, so I imagine most new phones will give as good if not a better reading. The trick is to make sure you are not wearing or near anything which will give off a magnetic reading and then move the phone slowly over the wall, looking for small, regular spikes in the reading.

Worked great. Found where the sensor on my phone was with a loose nail like it said, and then was able to find all the nails in my wall and hang something on a stud.
★★★★★
Goofy but works Read the other comments re locating the mag sensor on your phone. Wouldn't use it for construction work, but it just proved handy for quickly for finding a stud using a Moto G
★★☆☆☆
Unsuccessful It worked against metal, but it only went off one time searching my entire wall. Going up and down around that area, nothing else went off. Hard to believe there is only one nail in that wall. Might work for others. I have a Samsung Edge, purchased June 2016.
★★☆☆☆
If I wanted to be listed to beeping constantly near no metal I'd get a metronome.
★★☆☆☆
Does not work at all, even when waved over a known drywall screw. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5.
★★☆☆☆
Check your sources! This app does not work very well on devices which do not contain a magnetic sensor. Other apps are careful to check whether the magnetic sensor exists before they advertise their usefulness.
