Need to quickly find wood studs hidden under drywall, lath, plasterboard, or stucco in order to safely and securely hang a picture, wall fixture, shelf, TV or other DIY? Get Studfinder today, it works! No need to buy an expensive stud detector tool when you can simply use your phone! Studfinder uses your device's magnetometer (i.e. compass) to precisely target wall studs by pinpointing metal joists, nails, screws, or other metal fasteners located directly on the studs within every wall. We believe this latest version of Studfinder is absolutely the best yet with a completely redesigned, more comfortable user interface and entirely new functioning algorithms designed to make using Studfinder as simple, fast, and effective as possible.
After two years of steadily improving Studfinder, based on user feedback, we sincerely believe our latest release will work as good as, or better than, any other stud finder tool in most applications when the following simple instructions are followed:
Instructions:
1. Hold down the 'Detect' button.
2. Hold device at steady orientation until the green LED lights up. The green LED indicates a stable background magnetic field.
3. Find the precise location of your device's magnetometer by moving a coin or other magnetic metal object around back of device until the red LEDs light up in sequence.
4. Hold device steady against wall, or approximately a finger's width away from wall, while holding down 'Detect' until the green LED lights up.
5. Then systematically scan desired wall space by moving device along wall until red LEDs light up in sequence.
6. When all the red LEDs light up in sequence and beeper sounds, there is a stud directly under your device's magnetometer.
7. For best accuracy, ensure that sensitivity level is set appropriately for specific application:
->DECREASE sensitivity if green LED doesn't stay illuminated while moving device along wall (e.g. thin drywall),
->INCREASE sensitivity until all red LEDs light up when atop a nail/screw (e.g. thick drywall).
We absolutely believe this new version solves many prior issues mentioned in previous reviews and welcome your continued feedback. Thank you all for your downloads and feedback. Please keep them coming so that future versions can be even further improved.
We are committed to continue working with our users to create the best quality Studfinder app available anywhere!
