Bought the Apple compatible version. Beware, you have to pay EXTRA for gel pads to stick it to a phone, or buy the Grip Pack, that is pictured with an iPhone, but the same page gives a list of what phones are compatible for the grip pack, which does not list any iPhone as compatible. The protective case for $60 (Really?) does not include anything else with it. So you need to buy “accessories” to even make it work? I missed that and will be returning the item. I’m not shelling out another $60 for a case, gel pads for for $15, and a ‘Grip Pack’ for $15. The purchase needs to include the basics to make it work. A very negative customer experience.

We got this hoping to explain confusing readings from inside a wall, but learned nothing new. This appears to be an expensive but common sensor pack that one uses with this ‘free’ app that uses the phones orientation sensors, processor, and screen to display the data more conveniently. While it does display what it believes to be wood studs, wiring, and metal, I’ve an old Black and Decker stud finder that’ll tell me that with a colored LED and I do not have to hook up a phone to.
It’s not junk, by any means, just an overly complicated and expensive device that doesn’t provide any new or more reliable data. I applaud the attempt to ‘build a better mousetrap’ but this is just the same ‘mousetrap’ you can now plug it into your phone.

I have been using this around the house for the past several weeks. We just moved into this house, and I have a lot of installations such as flatscreen televisions, garage storage, curtain rods and blinds, etc… this device and app combination have been extremely helpful and highly accurate. I would use this device and app on my phone over a traditional stud finder any day of the week. It’s REALLY that good.
