Wall Stud Finder 1.0

Need a reliable tool to quickly detect wood studs hidden beneath drywall, plasterboard, or stucco for the secure hanging of wall fixtures? Studfinder transforms your mobile device into a stud-detection instrument. By utilizing your device’s compass (magnetometer) sensor, Studfinder accurately identifies metal studs, nails, screws, and other fasteners embedded within wooden wall studs. This essential tool ensures the safe and sturdy hanging of heavy wall fixtures, providing a strong anchor within the solid wall studs concealed beneath the drywall.

Studfinder mimics the operation of traditional handheld stud detector tools: LED lights illuminate sequentially as you glide the device along the wall, indicating proximity to the stud through your device's magnetometer. In contrast to real studfinder tools that incorporate a density sensor, which is absent in modern mobile devices, Studfinder leverages the compass sensor to detect subtle variations in background magnetic fields due to the presence of metal fasteners. It’s important to note that while studfinder apps such as this cannot identify wooden studs directly due to this limitation, they excel at pinpointing metal fasteners within them.

Features:

• Automatic sensor verification
• Active detection button
• Stability indicator (Green LED)
• 3 detection level indicators (Red LEDs)
• 10 sensitivity levels (adjustable for different drywall thicknesses)
• Toggle-able detection beep
• Clear in-app DIY instructions

You can find a brief video tutorial demonstrating the app’s functionality on my website: Stud Finder App Tutorial.
