Ratings and reviews

Parts of this app work, but most of it does not. It didn't show the TV under "Devices" even though I logged into the modem/router to make sure it was online. No channels showed on 2.4 or 5 GHz when there was actually 2 smartphones and a TV connected. I wanted to like this app but unless it shows what is truly connected, etc, it's of no use. OnePlus 12

As long as I can get any signal from Spectrum, your app is the best, With Ookla coming in second. used every day or whenever the weather changes (Spectrum again), your numbers & graphs are #1. Anytime my PC or phone or TV gets dodgy, I've got Wi-Fi Monitor waiting in the wings. since I was stupid enough to bundle my landline phone, TV & Internet, blackouts, dropouts & digital artifacts are routine here. Thanks again. without your product, it's 2 cans & a string!

Pros: No ads. Cons: Scan devices in network is not quick - it super slow! 5 min to find 19 devices???? WHY it is scanning IP' s which are not even on my network? My network is 192.168.0, why it is scanning 192.168.any? No option to give a device a nick name. No speed test Developer, please fix the problems.
