Description
This app will help you find ferrous metal objects such as studs, screws, and nails hidden in or behind wood, drywall, OSB, plywood, plaster, etc.
As you scan over a surface with your phone, a smart algorithm analyzes the smallest changes in the magnetic field and detects hidden ferrous objects with unprecedented accuracy.
Intuitive visual, audio, and tactile indicators will notify you when a ferrous object is detected. In addition, the app displays the absolute value of the magnetic field in microtesla (µT), the dynamics of change, and the history of measurement for solving more complex problems.
Tips and Tricks
If your device has an external case with metal or magnetic elements, please remove it before using this app.
You can further improve the detection accuracy by first determining the position of the magnetometer sensor inside of your phone. To do this, take a small metal object (for example, a screw) and slowly move along the back surface of your phone, continuously monitoring the absolute value indicator of the magnetic field. The sensor is located at the position with the maximum indicator value. Be careful not to touch and scratch the phone with the screw.

Ratings and Reviews
Great app. Works as advertised.
I used the app to find two-by-fours for wall mounting of a new TV. I was able to find drywall screws behind the paint using my phone saving a trip to Home Depot. Hint: I found it is the most sensitive if you continuously but slowly move your phone across the surface and not just hold static.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review and for being a user of our app. It is a great tip - indeed the app works the best if you keep moving the phone across the surface without stopping.
It’s fine but I would change things
instead of there being just a screen I feel like there should be more of a x-ray I’m not saying it’s bad it’s good but I think it needs more work

Wow. Trash
Off by 3 inches 3 times. Thanks for nothing
Located sensor in iphone 13 pro max, with a tack so i was accurate. Searched for studs in the wall to mount a rack vertically. The app was unable to locate a single stud in the wall and was off in one instance by more than the width of my phone.
