Stud Finder Pro Metal Detector
Your phone's compass sensor reacts to iron and steel. This app turns it into a simple metal detector: slide the phone along the wall and it beeps at the screws and nails that hold the drywall to the studs. The detector is free for iPhone and Android, with no ads and no account; Stud Finder Pro adds calibration, a scan trace, a bubble level and a ruler.
Honest note
It finds metal, not wood. Phones have no sensor that can see a wooden stud; finding the screws in it is how this app finds the stud.
