- iPhone users checking walls for magnetic fasteners
- Worth noticing
- Calibration begins away from metal; camera pins are user-placed and last only for the current session.
Field notes
The described workflow has three steps: calibrate away from metal, move slowly over the wall, and tap to place a camera pin. The pin is a temporary visual note, not an automatically located fastener or saved map. The site says the app cannot measure depth, wall thickness, or stud boundaries, and points readers to separate guides for magnetic methods, calibration, and exterior-wall conditions.
