10 Free Stud Finder Apps For Android (Free Apps)

“Magnetic stud finder app puts an handy stud finder in everyone’s pocket at no cost. Even if already having your own stud finder, this app provides a valuable second source. Magnetic stud finder app consists of a customized metal detector with a bubble level view. It can be used for both metal and wood studs. Steel nails/screws are used to fix drywall to the wood studs. Magnetic stud finder finds wood studs by identifying the location of nails and screws. The bubble level is another tool for handyman. The app can also be used as detector for all ferromagnetic objects.

To make the best out of it, it is very important to use this app properly. We provide help within the app. More information is provided in our website www.goldsequence.com. You can also see this instruction video

We have tested this app in multiple buildings with different phones. It works pretty well for drywall if used properly. Even if you cover the drywall with a extra layer of 1/4 inch thick ceramic tile, the app can still work. That being said, the app is not without its limits. This app won’t work well if the variation of magnetic field strength becomes too weak to pick up. For example, if you live in a old house with plaster wall and the plaster layer is more than 1/4 inch thick, the app will probably not work well. Even if your house uses drywall, if the size of the drywall screws is too small, it could generate problems for this app. So we agree that this app is not for every house. However, we do believe that it can do good things for many people in many houses.”

“Need to quickly locate wood studs hidden under drywall, plasterboard, or stucco in order to safely and securely complete your renovations project or simply hang a mirror, shelf, TV or other large wall fixture? Stud Detector turns your mobile device into a studfinder tool! Stud Detector uses your device’s compass (magnetometer) sensor to precisely target wall studs by pinpointing metal joists, nails, screws, or and other magnetic metal fasteners in wood studs located beneath the drywall, plasterboard, or sheetrock in every wall.

IMPORTANT: Your device’s magnetometer cannot detect wood directly but only detects magnetic METAL fasteners within the wooden wall studs themselves!

WARNING: Please watch, read, and carefully follow included instructions on how to successfully use the app before leaving a negative review without understand how to correctly use the app!

A stud detector is a must have tool for any do-it-yourself, renovator, handyman to securely hanging heavy wall fixtures by ensuring the fasteners are well anchored in the wall studs. A must have companion renovation app!

Stud Detector operates in a similar manner to other hand-held stud detector tools: LED lights light up in sequence with proximity to stud as your device’s magnetometer passes over the stud. However, because modern mobile devices do not have density sensors (which are used by real studfinder tools) Stud Detector uses your compass (magnetometer) sensor to detect subtle changes in the background magnetic fields caused by conductive metal fasteners embedded in all studs. Because of the lack of a density sensor, studfinder apps cannot detect wood studs themselves, but rather, detect the metal fasteners embedded within them. Please keep this difference in mind when using Stud Detector.

Features:
– Now FREE with no more banner ads!
– Automatic device sensor check
– Active detection button
– Stability indicator (Green LED)
– 3 detection level indicators (Red LEDs)
– 10 sensitivity levels (for various drywall thicknesses)
– Movable magnetometer location target
– Toggled detection beeper
– Easy to follow, in-app DIY instructions

Thanks for downloading and using Stud Detector. 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. Please consider leaving a detailed review of the app so future versions can be even further improved.

Wish you all happy and successful renovations!”

“Metal Detector is an Amazing tool that uses magnetic sensor to find the metal surrounding you.

Turns your cell phone into a real metal detector making your friends and family jealous about your phone.
Detect precious metals using your own phone anywhere anytime. Earth’s Magnetic Field ranges from 30 to 60 µT. Any Other measurement is an indication of unusual metal activity.

Make sure you are not around your computer or TV or Other electronic devices which can interfere with the readings of the magnetic sensor making Metal detector less powerful that it can be.

As soon as you launch the app, Metal detector reading is shown to your on the screen.

Are you going on hunt to find gold, precious metals on beach or mountains? This may be the right tool for you.

Metal Detectors can be used as emf detector and emf sensor. The detector is electro magnetic field detector to detect metal and detect EMF reader. Metal detector meter in the app can also be used as EMF Meter.”

“Metal Detector is an application which detects the presence of metal nearby by measuring the magnetic field value. This useful tool uses the magnetic sensor built-in your mobile device and shows magnetic field level in μT (microtesla). The magnetic field level (EMF) in nature is about 49 μT (micro tesla) or 490 mG (milli gauss); 1μT = 10mG. If any metal is near, the value of magnetic field will increase.

Metal Detector allows to identify any metal object in area, because all metals generate magnetic field which strength can be measured with this tool.

Usage is quite simple: launch this application on your mobile device and move it around. You will see that the magnetic field level shown on screen is constantly fluctuating. Colorful lines represent the three dimensions and the numbers on top shows the value of magnetic field level (EMF). The chart will increase and the device will vibrate and makes sounds announcing that metal is close. In settings you can change the sensitivity of vibration and sound effects.

You might use the Metal Detector it to find electrical wires in walls (like a stud finder), iron pipes on the ground… or pretend it’s a ghost detector and scare someone! The accuracy of tool depends entirely on the sensor in your mobile device. Please, note that due to electromagnetic waves, the magnetic sensor is affected by electronic equipment.

Metal detector cannot detect gold, silver and coins made by copper. They are classified as non-ferrous that has no magnetic field. But maybe you will find metal box with some treasure inside!

Try this useful tool and other apps from Netigen Utilities series!

Attention! Not every model of smartphone has a magnetic field sensor. If your device does not have one, the application will not work. Sorry for this inconvenience. Contact us (mobile@netigen.pl), and we will try to help.”

“Metal Detector is in the 3rd set of the Smart Tools collection.

<< Metal Detector apps require a magnetic sensor (magnetometer). If this app does not work properly, please check the specifications of your device. >>

This app measures magnetic field with an embedded magnetic sensor.
The magnetic field level (EMF) in nature is about 49μT(micro tesla) or 490mG(milli gauss); 1μT = 10mG. When any metal(steel, iron) is near, magnetic field level will increase.

Usage is simple: Open the app, and move it around. The magnetic field level will constantly fluctuate. That’s it!

You can find electrical wires in the walls (like a stud detector) and iron pipes in the ground.

A lot of ghost hunters had downloaded this app, and they had experimented as a ghost detector.

The accuracy depends entirely on your magnetic sensor (magnetometer). Note that it is affected by electronic equipment (TV, PC, microwave) due to electromagnetic waves.

“Metal Detector app uses your devices magnetic sensor to measure magnetic field values and turns any Android into a real metal detector. Data is displayed in µT (micro Testla). 1µT = 10mG (milli Gauss). The magnetic field in nature ranges from 25 to 65 µT (0.25 to 0.65 G). Any higher measurement is an indication of metal in the area. When there is metal in the area, magnetic field increases. App works best detecting ferromagnetic materials, such as iron and can’t detect non-ferromagnetic materials such as aluminum. App works best detecting metals up to 15cm away.

Metal Detector app is simple to use, just open it and move it around. If the magnetic field values rise there is metal in the area. Accuracy of the app is entirely dependent on the magnetic sensor in your device and is affected by electrical equipment such as TVs, PCs… due to electromagnetic waves.

If the app does not work as it should then the problem is in your magnetic sensor. Maybe your device does not have one. Or try to initialize the sensors by pointing your phone up and rotate it in a figure 8 pattern. Remove magnetic covers from your device for accurate readings. Magnetic covers will influence the magnetic sensor in your Android device. If your device’s case contains metal elements remove the case before using the app.

Ghost hunters also use Metal Detectors for ghost detection as they claim that ghosts have an influence on magnetic fields. I am not sure about that but please let me know if it’s true.
