Free Metal Detector - Stud Finder and EMF Meter in One! app for iPhone and iPad

I was desperate to find a steel property marker pin buried below the surface and after reading the reviews of all the metal detector apps., I chose this one because it seemed to have the least negative reviews. I was expecting nothing and was prepared for a entertainment app. at best. Well I was surprised. I set the sensitivity control to just below half and went to the area where I knew the pin must be. It started responding and I dug in that area. As I kept waving the phone over the area, (1" off the ground surface), and dug in that area, I found the pin about 6" below the surface. Its not super accurate and does not cover a wide area, but it does detect ferrous metal. I suspect you would have to be a maximum of 6" or so from the metal object and size of the object matters. It doesnt seem to detect stainless steel, aluminum or any other non-ferrous metal, but I expected that because of the "compass" type nature of the app. Adjusting the sensitivity to anything above much more than half makes it seem to go off all the time even in the absence of metal. So it does actually work on my iPhone 4.

Needed to find a man hole in back lane - under 12" of ice. Found it immediately - accurate - bang on! Amazing!

Nicely laid out with a functioning gauge. Very clean and simple. Much better than a lot of the other silly interfaces out there. I got the job done with this app.

Ive been using it about 2 years. Be patient and move slow and it will find a screw, nail, metal stud ... to mark your needed stud

Tried 3 apps, this was #3 in order and the only one that worked.

I was looking for a stud finder and all cost $ with poor reviews. I used this free app to find a nail in the stud and was able to hang a heavy print on a stud!

These reviews are fabricated. App doesnt work at all. Thank you.

Fabricated reviews is right. Opened the app all it does is make a sound and vibrate and the bar stays in the middle to whole time. Dont waste your time. Pathetic People would give this 5 stars. Desperate app developers smh!!

Doesnt read. Difference between my hand and breaker bar was 10 units.

Forgot my stud finder at the office. Figured "theres an app for that" and sure enough there is. Used it to find metal studs behind dry wall and thats what it did. Though not as good as a real stud finder since it doesnt detect the edges like a true stud finder but it is definitely better then trusting the knock on wall trick.

I have braces and put my iPad to my mouth and pushed it on there and it went all the way up.. When I tried it on my friend.....NADA!!!

Saved me a trip to the hardware store! This app is great for detecting metal through dry wall.
