Metal Detector - Stud Finder vs Metal Detector for iPhone

An honest comparison based on real user reviews. Both are popular Metal Detector apps — but which one do users complain about less?

Metal Detector - Stud Finder

Main Weakness

Fails at advertised stud-finding functionality and impossible to cancel subscription in-app

"this seemed like a fine app, but it didn't help with finding studs, which was what I needed"
"the problem is that i couldn't find an option to cancel my "subscription" in the app"

Metal Detector for iPhone

Main Weakness

Aggressive upselling and unexpected purchases instead of functional detection

"It doesn't do anything but download a bunch of other apps and have you unexpectedly purchasing a bunch of stuff"
