About this app

Monitor strength of your wifi network, (and those nearby). Use to find a good location for your wifi hub. Or use to identify a channel with little overlap with neighbouring networks.

Please Note: For Android 9 and higher, the rate at which other networks are scanned is greatly reduced (unless you turn off WiFi-throttling on your device). Therefore you may see slow performance from the Channel, Graph and List screens of the app which are used for scanning nearby networks. However this should not effect the Gauge Screen for monitoring your own wifi network.


App has 4 screens:

• Gauge – shows the signal strength of the currently connected wifi network. Also shows maximum, minimum and average values. Graph with auto-scale & speed options.

• Channel – shows how the wifi networks are spread across the channels and overlap each other.

• Graph – shows how the signal strength of all nearby networks vary with time. Auto-scale & speed options. Select which networks to display.

• List – Contains basic information for all the detected networks: name, mac address, frequency, channel, encryption type and signal strength.

Note that to scan for wifi networks, location services needs to be enabled on your device and also the app given location permission. (For Android 12 and above, the location permission needs to be set to precise).

For indication only.

Ratings and reviews

This app is really great. There is a problem though, and I don't know how long it has been so. It works on every phone using various versions of Android up to and including Android 9. I recently bought the Note 10+ which now has Androud 10 and now this app simply will not function properly. All of the complaints that other users are posting are valid. I hope hope someone can sort this out.

Keuwlsoft used to be my go-to source for effective and functional Android tools. Now they've gone ad-based which requires permissions that shouldn't be necessary. I'd gladly pay for versions that support all WiFi bands and lack snoopy permissions. Otherwise it's just another app that uses my phone for someone else's benefit. Needed: Add/snoop free version. Both 2.4 and 5gHz WiFi bands support. Until then, good bye Keuwlsoft. . .

After the update, the app was non-functional, and I thought permanently broken. After years of service, my favorite analyzer was now just junk. But all is not lost. I found that if I force-closed the app, and deleted all app data, most of the functions work normally ... but not all which is too bad. Used to be good (5 stars), but now not so much.
