Comments on Stud Finder - Stud Detector for Android

Did what I needed it to do so that's a 5star in my book 😂 I needed to hang some floating wall shelves up, but I didn't know where the first wood plank thingy started, so I downloaded this, and it showed me exactly where it was, after that it was easy to find the rest cuz they were evenly 16in to 17in apart. I used the scanner method, and it was sitting evenly at 56 all around for me so if goes about 20-40 above that then tap a whole with a drill to confirm if you got wood or metal there. 10/10

So the app does work for ferrous (iron/metal) items. First, you will want to locate the magnets on your phone. Put a thin iron object (like a screwdriver) on a non-metal surface. While running the app slide your phone across the object looking at magnitudes, repeat in x & y directions. I would also suggest removing your phone case.

Sensational. Can somehow read the studs of my trailer, but it says my entire wall is a stud. I'm tickled by this app. Thank you

Going to use this to find plumbing pipes since I already have a stud finder that only detects live wires and wood. So far it detects metal, but I haven't tested it on plumbing pipes in wall. Will update if problem arises.

I tried calibrating like it said and then tried to find the studs. No luck. I tried just seeing my phone on my cushion for the ottoman and the numbers just kept bouncing around. It never stayed still. I am no carpenter, but I am far from helpless. I've installed floors, built chicken pens, and consider myself fairly handy but this app is impossible to comprehend. The numbers always stay between 48 and 56. They never stabilize and read differently every time I run my phone over the same area.

It does not work at all. Does not have instructions on how to use very unclear app.
★☆☆☆☆Megan Peeler· Mar 7, 2026
Ran it over an area with a known stud and it did nothing. Appears it will only find metal studs not wooden ones
★☆☆☆☆Richard McCollim (Broker, Realtor, Coach)· Jan 16, 2025
Abysmal, a waste of time, defective, definitely not recommended. You may spend hours scanning a very wide area of your wall, and this app will find absolutely nothing. It is a disappointing waste of time! You would be literally downloading an app that has absolutely no functionality to locate studs, which is totally misleading by the developers who state that it does locate studs.
