Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As far as functionality seems pretty good, better than the previous version, I will report back after a large mounting job tomorrow and let you know how it went compared to a standard stud finder. The first thing I noticed about the product is its poor ergonomics, scanning is awkward, your hand covers the phone to scan, or you have to hold the phone really low making it hard to hold. It's even worse in pan mode because you have to hold the button down continuously to get it to scan ( odd choice ) If you mount it evenly it will also cover your power button on back if you have an LG, and the camera ( not a big deal ) but having to pull it off just to shut down the phone or lock the phone is awkward. I partially solved this by mounting the phone higher on the unit but it doesn't feel as secure, and the panning button is still a royal pain to keep pushed, why in the heck did they do that? The phone attaches to the unit by a two-sided sticky gel pad, it works fine, but when you pull them apart there is a tendency for the pad to fall off on the floor and get gunk on whatever it touches, this is more of an annoyance than defect because you can wash the pad. I do wish they would make the Walabot side permanent so that just the phone side came off. EDIT: Pros Clients are "Wowed" by Works well on thick drywall/lat. I had a 1+1/2 Inch drywall in an apartment, normal stud finder even in deep mode didn't work as well as this. Cons Changing this to one star almost entirely because of the ergonomics, which are terrible 1) They need a better mounting system, this is super annoying to use for more than finding a single stud. Had a job with 15 mounts ( 2 TVs, 7 Pictures, 5 Shelves, 1 Bathroom towel bar ) and I only used it when the standard stud finder failed ( which was only once ) it's just too annoying to use, kept almost dropping it. 2) Backing doesn't work well on knock-down textured drywall. It 'bumps' along and has a tendency to 'jump' off the wall requiring a rescan and it makes a horrible noise as it scrapes along. I realize they want the sensor as close to the wall as possible but they need to fix this. It does no damage but if clients are around it makes a terrible racket on everything but really smooth walls. 3) They do have a center mark when you find the center of the stud but it's tiny and hard to mark with 4) Finding the center of the stud doesn't seem as accurate as of the newer stud finders with multiple centers. 5) It's not that good at locating high voltage lines, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't my standard stud finder always does. I will keep it just to wow my tech-savvy customers but then put it away for real work, or only use it if the stud finder can't find anything. Conclusion Sad, I really wanted to like this thing because it is cool to use but there are too many flaws for anything but casual use If they could fix the above issues it would easily be a five-star product.
