★ ★ ★ Wall Stud Detector Overview

 

What is Wall Stud Detector? Studfinder is a mobile app that turns your device into a stud detector tool. It uses your device's compass (magnetometer) sensor to precisely pinpoint metal studs, nails, screws, and other metal fasteners embedded in all wooden wall studs. The app is essential for DIYs to securely hang heavy wall fixtures and ensures the fasteners are well anchored in the solid wall studs hidden beneath the drywall.



Software Features and Description

1. Need to quickly detect wood studs hidden under drywall, plasterboard, or stucco in order to safely and securely hang a picture, shelf, TV or other wall fixture? Studfinder turns your mobile device into a stud detector tool! Studfinder uses your device's compass (magnetometer) sensor to precisely pinpoint metal studs, nails, screws, and other metal fasteners embedded in all wooden wall studs.

2. Because of the lack of a density sensor in mobile devices, studfinder apps cannot detect wood studs themselves, but instead, detect the metal fasteners in the studs.

3. A stud detector is essential for DIYs to securely hanging heavy wall fixtures and ensures the fasteners are well anchored in the solid wall studs hidden beneath the drywall.

4. The compass sensor detects subtle changes in the background magnetic fields caused by the conductive metal fasteners that are located in all wooden studs.

5. This app operates in a similar manner to other hand-held stud detector tools: as you move the device along the wall, the LED lights light up in sequence as your device's magnetometer approaches the stud.

6. However, modern mobile devices do not have a density sensor (which is used in real studfinder tools), so Studfinder uses your compass (magnetometer) sensor instead.

7. I have constantly been updating and improving it since 2013, based on user feedback, in order to make it the most accurate, responsive, and easy to use stud finder app on the market.

8. Please keep this difference in mind when using Studfinder.

9. Thanks for downloading and using my app.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Way too many ads, impossible to use!

    By jollijo1222 (Pcmac user)

    Impossible to use, way too many ads!!! Have never seen so many ads and where they are so intrusive. The worst I have ever seen! Can’t even preview how it works to decide to pay to remove ads, because the ads are blocking any opportunity to preview.
  • Add every 3 seconds kill usability

    By Jeff Haskin (Pcmac user)

    Every time I try to use it and add pops up right where my finger is about to touch the screen and totally interrupts my activity. I have no idea if it even works because of how many ads popped up. Seriously: one every couple seconds.
  • Fake empty app

    By buck's restorations (Pcmac user)

    Uploaded iOS 12 on I phone 7 and does not work. Press detect button and nothing happens only get instructions to display. I should have read reviews first. Do not purchase. I paid 3.99 for add free app and that does not work either this app should be removed from stores
