I've held off on trying this with it's mixed reviews, but for $21, I'm in even if it doesn't work amazingly.

It penetrates concrete and drywalls up to four inches and offers a few different modes to enhance the user experience exponentially. Modes This DIY Wall Scanner requires a smartphone that runs on the Android 6.0 (or above) operating system. Once the phone is connected to the device and image mode is set, real-time wall image is provided with the exact location of studs and other items. this device features an expert mode that helps detect movements which are helpful in tracking pests and rodents.

I have the "pro," and it works surprisingly well. I have both lathe and metal studs depending on which floor of the house I'm on.

Unfortunately, since it's extremely slow to get going (plug to phone, mount phone to base, open app, calibrate, choose wall), I rarely use it unless I need to check for a wire or pipe.
There is a 100% chance that as a man, you will hold the stud finder up to yourself and go, "found the stud."
Magnets work great for finding screw and nail heads, but those may or may not be in the middle of the studs. And they fail miserably at finding other things behind the sheetrock.

Yeah, same here. It's shipped and sold by Walmart, so easy return if it doesn't work well.

They're all easy returns. Walmart third party sellers can't deny returns in any way.

Yup, and I always do it through the app.. Sometimes they don't make you bring the item back and ask you to donate it.

Looks cool and all but I don't really want to pull this out, pull my phone out, plug them into each other, find the app, and calibrate it every time I want to find a stud.

I would rather go with a more durable and convenient stud finder.

This thing would probably work better if it didn't go crazy every time I picked it up
