I used to to locate metal studs and pipes on a commercial job site, now all my workers have it I their phone and very easy to find the centers, wood studs just scan for metal screws no issues at all, easy to find all the cabling be it electrical or network, I'd highly recommend this to anyone using a simple stand alone stud finder

Good luck finding wires. This app can find your toaster, but don't expect to find a wire in the wall.
