Comments on Wire Finder: Wall Scanner for Android

★★★★★ Reymund Cabarrubias · Sep 19, 2026
Fast live wire detection, no unnecessary permission, offline app.
★☆☆☆☆ Celladore Stark · Sep 19, 2026
Absolute rubbish. Put it on my light switch and got nothing, then but it on a plank of wood, and it went into the red.
★☆☆☆☆ Keziah Boulton · Aug 15, 2026
Extremely unhelpful, doesn't work, says there's a signal from somewhere then 2 seconds later there's none at all. Waste of time.
★★☆☆☆ Anna D · Mar 6, 2026
It seems close to the electrical socket/switch it detects but any other place in the brick wall, not so much
