For StudFind to work, the nails in your wall should be magnetic and your device (iPad, iPhone or iPod) should have a built-in magnetometer. To accurately detect nails using StudFind, on iPhone 5s and below, sweep with the right edge of the device against the wall. DISCLAIMER: The performance of StudFind is limited by the construction of the wall, presence of a phone cover and/or the material of the nails in the studs. Use your iPhone to find nails in wooden support beams within your wall, or any sort of magnetic metal hidden from view. For iPhone 6 and above, sweep with the top edge of the device along the wall. If your device has a external case, please remove before using StudFind. StudFind does not detect non-magnetic objects, For example, aluminum or wood studs. Calibrate your device’s magnetic sensor by moving the device in a "Figure 8" pattern. Then tap the "Intensity" reading displayed on StudFind to set the baseline to zero. Sometimes it helps to first figure out the location of the magnet (compass magnet) on your phone using a magnetic material so it becomes clear where to "mark" when you find a nail in the stud.
