Stud Finder Scanner – Metal & Stud Detector Free is designed to help locate studs and metal hidden in walls and other areas using a phone’s magnetic sensor. As you move the phone near a place you want to check, the app displays a meter value; its description says the value changes when it detects an object and that the app beeps at a detection. This gives users both a changing visual reading and an audible signal while scanning.

Scanning modes and locations

The app describes a free metal scan mode and a deep scan mode. The standard mode is presented for finding metal, including copper and black pipe. Deep scan is described as identifying objects inside walls, earth, and plaster. The listing also mentions floors and ceilings as places to scan, and names pipes, wiring, cables, nuts, and studs among the objects it is intended to locate.

These descriptions cover several different concealed settings, from a wall or plaster surface to earth. They do not provide a separate procedure for each material or object, so the same basic phone-based scanning approach is the clearest workflow supported by the listing.

Using the meter and scan direction

To scan, move the phone near the area you want to check and watch the meter on the screen. The app says a detected stud or metal object is indicated by a changing meter value and a beep. It also describes automatic calibration on a wall. If moving the phone from left to right does not scan the object, the instructions suggest trying an up-and-down movement instead.

The meter and sound work together as the app’s stated detection feedback: the screen shows a changing value while the beep marks a detection. The listing does not specify meter units or give a method for interpreting particular readings, so it does not support treating a specific value as a measurement of an object’s size or exact position.

Phone sensor requirement

The description says the app uses a magnetic sensor and a radiation meter, and notes that the phone needs a built-in magnetic sensor for the detector to work. It also recommends an updated Android phone. The listing does not identify particular phone models or give a minimum Android version, so compatibility depends on the sensor described rather than a documented device list.

Stud Finder Scanner – Metal & Stud Detector Free is therefore presented as a phone-based aid for checking concealed areas, with scan modes, meter feedback, a beep, and a suggested change of scan direction when needed. Its stated uses include locating metal and studs, as well as checking for pipes, cables, wiring, and other objects in walls and nearby surfaces.
