One of my best apps; actually my best one yet. Easy to use: just put the compass edge next to the wall you want to find the nail on. After sliding around you see the numbers pass 100. When you hit a nail directly, the graph and numbers freeze at a high number, usually in the 400s.
*High sensitivity
*A teslameter measures magnetism.
*Really works!
*Has been tested with a real stud-finder and found perfect!
Requires iOS 4.1 or later.
-You must have a compass on the device.
-Does NOT work with iPod touch or iPad.

Latest reviews of StudMeter app for iPhone and iPad
Awesome!
This app works very well. I held it flat against the wall, the screen facing me(obviously) and it would read anywhere from 40-70 and then spike when it found a screw or nail(stud) to 100-200. From there Id make minor adjustments until I got into the 300-500 range. Very accurate IF you realize that the sensor(on a 5s) is directly under the camera lens on the back of the iphone. So dont mark your studs directly in the middle of the phone, mark them about a 1/4 inch from the far right edge of the phone(5s anyway). Basically, if you use a little common sense, this works 100%. My only critique would be a slightly more detailed description of this process would be nice, as far as how to hold the phone, etc.

iPhone 5s
Almost worked on iPhone 5s. The sensor the app is apparently using is located near the camera and is extremely localized...major calibrating is needed before the 5s will work with this.

Installed a flatscreen
My husband put 5 holes in our wall while putting up our flat screen tv. I bet him $ I could find the stud... It wasnt my husband.
