About this app

Measure your actual WiFi parameters and view them on a map.
You should have your floor-plan - image file accepted to work on it, take photo of a paper copy, or if you don`t - Built-in basic plan constructor included. Easily share your result by one click.

Features:
★ Signal coverage map. Poor signal means lower quality
★ Connection speed map. Indicates your wireless network throughput
★ Frequency channel map. If more than one AP is used, you can see to which you are connected to
★ Connection to best access point (AP) map. If network (AP) with better signal is available you will see it on map
★ Interfering networks map. Scans radio spectrum for third-party networks that may dramatically reduce your network quality
★ Network quality map. Real-time response from WiFi router - gateway ping

Outdoor capturing mode
Auto-collect data using GPS. Export collected data to Google Earth *.kml or inline *.csv

Awesome real-time Wi-Finetwork quality monitor
Available on main-screen includes all listed in map-description and extra:
★ Real-time signal & speed graphs
★ Wi-Fi equipment vendor detection
★ IP-information
★ Network quality: Local network & Internet separately, with real-time graphs

How to use:
1. Check if you are connected to WiFi
2. Upload floor-plan
3. Set scale by moving markers and selecting distance between them
4. Put cursor to your location on map and press "Mark" button
5. Move to another location - at least for couple of steps and repeat previous step
6. Analyse your measuring

Ratings and reviews

Used this to map outdoor WiFi coverage. It overlays data points (signal strength and phy rate) on Google maps. It mostly works. It does seem to suddenly exit/crash sometimes but it didn't loose data it has already got. There also is a limit on data points (50, I think) on the free version which isn't clear. I did not try the indoor part.

Shows multiple metrics, e.g. signal, speed, ping. Simple but does the job I wanted very well. I managed to get my room to the right scale, but would like 1.5m dots and couldn't figure out how so it's not there or it's tricky (clicked advanced but seems to scale room). Make it a little more idiot-proof to set scale and size of dot, then 5 stars.

It's better compared to those other unrelatable, paid review apps. This app is far more simpler to use and provides accurate signal detection in par with other apps. I have not used the heat map so far, so can't comment on that.
