  • Graph View – Watch for spikes indicating hidden studs

How It Works

This app uses your phone's magnetic sensor to detect nearby ferromagnetic materials. As you move the device closer to a metallic object hidden behind a surface, the sensor detects a spike in the electromagnetic field, helping you pinpoint the object's location.

Helpful Tips for Better Results

  • Move your phone slowly across the surface for accurate results
  • Avoid interference from other electronic devices
  • Test on a known metal object to familiarize yourself with the readings
  • Use in well-lit environments to better spot changes in the field
  • Perfect for bathrooms, bedrooms, wardrobes, and outdoor sheds

Device Compatibility

Stud & Metal Finder Pro requires a phone with a built-in magnetic sensor. While most modern smartphones (approximately 86%) are equipped with one, if your device shows no detection or weak response, it may not have the necessary sensor.

Common Use Cases

  • Before drilling into walls or floors
  • Hanging frames, TVs, or shelves
  • DIY furniture assembly
  • Scanning hotel rooms or wooden panels
  • Home improvement and renovation projects

Important Notes

Stud & Metal Finder Pro is strictly designed to detect magnetic fields and metallic objects inside surfaces, not for surveillance or spying purposes. It complies with Google Play’s policies.

Disclaimer

Detection accuracy may vary depending on your phone model, the thickness of the material, and the type of object being detected. For critical tasks, always double-check results with professional equipment.
