Description
NAIL DETECTOR
Use your iPhone to find nails in wooden support beams within your wall, or any sort of magnetic metal hidden from view.
For this app to work, the nails in your wall should be magnetic and your device (iPad, iPhone or iPod) should have a built-in magnetometer. This app does not detect non-magnetic objects, For example, aluminum or wood studs.
DISCLAIMER: The performance of the app is limited by the construction of the wall, presence of a phone cover and/or the material of the nails in the studs.
INSTRUCTIONS
If your device has a external case, please remove before using this app.
Calibrate your device’s magnetic sensor by moving the device in a "Figure 8" pattern. Then tap the "Intensity" reading displayed on the app to set the baseline to zero.
To accurately detect nails using this app, on iPhone 5s and below, sweep with the right edge of the device against the wall. For iPhone 6 and above, sweep with the top edge of the device along the wall.
Sometimes it helps to first figure out the location of the magnet (compass magnet) on your phone using a magnetic material so it becomes clear where to "mark" when you find a nail in the stud.

Lost washing line socket
Our washing line post fits in a socket in the lawn. I usually struggle with an old metal detector to find it each year. This year, the batteries in the metal detector had failed and covered the battery compartment with ooh-nasty! Lemon juice and a brush cleaned it up and fresh batteries put it. Half an hour over the lawn produced nothing! I gave up and had lunch. While eating my sandwich I Googled my problem. Someone said they had tried an iPhone app which had worked. I searched and found this app and installed it. Hmmm interesting I thought as it found a screw in the table I was sitting at. After lunch I went back to the lawn and in less than 5 minutes had located the missing socket!
Thanks Guys!
The metal detector will be “retired”!
It actually worked (for me)
Just download it and test it to see if it works for you :)
I give this app a 5 star cause it does what it says on the tin. Used an iPhone 8+ and it worked well first try.
Before I knew stud finders on a phone was a thing, I just bit the bullet and drilled my own holes into the wall without any luck.
