- Why are Channel & frequency not shown?
Since Android 6, the location permission is needed to scan for wifi networks around. This is the only way to get the current channel and the frequency. (also see the discussion in the Google Issue Tracker: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=185370)
Your location will not been detected nor transfered at any time.

Ratings and reviews

Update: the developer's suggestion has it working perfectly again. A solid 5 star App, and I would give it a 6 if I could, for the excellent support. Thanks! I would have given this a 5, but the newest version is buggy. It no longer updates as I change internet connections. I now have to open the App and close it to then see my current ip connection. A few weeks ago though it worked great.

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT - Got what I wanted, and more. Very useful. Unfortunately, overlay at top of screen does not update properly when settings are changed. Also, on Android 11 for motorola edge 5G UW (2021), overlay is not cleared when wifi connection changes. It's just overwritten, with text stacking up. UNREADABLE, and no way to clear it without reboot. Otherwise rating would be 5 stars.

Exactly what I was looking for. Large array of options to work with, and everything is easy to setup. I particularly like the option of showing WiFi SSID currently used in Status line. The fact that the widget can be configured to activate many different options upon being touched - most use full in my opinion is the No Response - is wonderful. This app really stands out with the right features, easy setup and very well implemented. Worth more than 5 stars hands down. Gert P.
