📱 Stud & Metal Finder Pro – Your Pocket Wall Scanner!

Looking for a powerful and easy way to find hidden metal, studs, or screws inside walls, floors, or wooden surfaces? 🧲 You’ve just found the perfect tool! Stud & Metal Finder Pro transforms your Android device into a real-time wall scanner using your phone's built-in magnetic sensor (magnetometer).

🔍 Why You Need This App:

With so many electrical cables, metal pipes, nails, screws, and studs hidden inside walls, it’s essential to check before drilling, nailing, or renovating. Our app uses your device’s magnetic sensor to detect the presence of ferromagnetic materials like steel or iron, helping you avoid damage or danger.

✅ Key Features:

• Easy-to-use magnetic detection interface
• Multiple scan modes: Meter View, Graph View, Sensor Values, Digital Readings
• Detect nails, screws, studs, and other metallic objects
• Works best on drywall, wood, and some concrete surfaces
• Real-time magnetic field visualization
• Infrared detection tips for spotting hidden objects
• Best results within 15–25 cm distance
• Suitable for detecting metal in wardrobes, beds, and wooden furniture

📊 Detection Modes:

• Digital View – Get a digital magnetic field reading
• Meter View – Watch real-time changes in sensor output
• Sensor Value – Monitor magnetic field values in microTesla
• Graph View – Visualize spikes that may indicate a stud

⚙️ How It Works:

This app reads the magnetic sensor values from your device. When the phone gets closer to a metallic or magnetic object hidden inside a surface, the sensor detects a spike in the electromagnetic field, helping you identify the location.

📌 Stud Finder Tips & Tricks:

• Move phone slowly across the surface
• Avoid electronic interference from other devices
• Test on a known metal object to understand readings
• Use in well-lit areas to identify additional signs
• Ideal for bathrooms, bedrooms, wardrobes, changing rooms, and outdoor sheds

📱 Device Compatibility:

This app works only on phones that have a built-in magnetic sensor. Not all smartphones are equipped with one. If the app shows no detection or low response, your device may not have the required sensor. Approximately 86% of modern smartphones include magnetic sensors.

🧠 Common Use Cases:

• Before drilling into a wall
• Hanging frames, TVs, or shelves
• DIY furniture setup
• Scanning hotel rooms or wooden panels
• Home improvement projects

📌 Note: This app is not intended for spying or surveillance. It follows Google Play policies strictly and is designed to detect only magnetic fields that help identify physical metallic objects.

📢 Disclaimer:

Results may vary depending on your phone model, the thickness of the wall or material, and the type of object being detected. Always double-check results with professional tools when necessary.

very cool app! has various options to show you different ways to look at things to see if something is there or not ! walking around checking things out and detected things also ! nice to have on your phone to check things out esp hotels and places ! (digital ,chart ,graph cool app )

Alright, listen up, I've tried a bunch of stud finder apps in the past, and let me tell you, most of them were a joke. But this one? This one's the real deal. The interface is super easy to use, and the accuracy is spot on. Do yourself a favor and download this app. You won't regret it!

This app is amazing! It uses electromagnetic field detection to accurately locate studs, wires, and other hidden objects behind walls. I was skeptical at first, but it really works—especially for finding electrical wiring. The interface is clean and easy to use, and the EMF readings are surprisingly precise. A must-have tool for anyone doing home improvement or electrical work. Highly recommended!
