Only minus are the ads This is the original WiFi analysis app. Super good and a top recommendation despite ads. I hadn't notice it even does recommended channels but I would just eyeball it in the past. But I'm now actually leaning toward other open source app because obviously no ads but it also graphs plateaus rather than arches which emphasises 'strength' rather than 'width' and so doesn't conflate the two -- a really strong signal arch may appear wide or like 2 channels.

Great tool The ability to see which wifi channels are most crowded is awesome, but the real gem is the app's ability to detect the optimal channel for your wifi hotspot. It's not always 100% accurate, since Android's hardware can only detect how many routers are on each channel, not individual devices, but the app does a wonderful job estimating. It's thanks to this app that I was able to fix the low signal in my back bedroom. Some neighbor's using channel 4, making 1 & 6 cut out there for my router.

Does what it should very well! However, when using 2.4ghz you should stick to channels 1, 6 and 11 in all but the least congested locations - overlapping signals is *worse* than sharing the same channel with other SSIDs. Floating between 1, 6 and 11 is antisocial, causing everyone more problems. Developers should highlight this in the interface.

Awesome app This app is great. I tell people to download it all the time. I work for a tech support group for a big communication company, that will remain nameless, and it is so helpful it showing the average user what wifi interference looks like and how it can be prevented. My only gripe is it's not on iOS because I can't tell the customers using iPhones to get it!

The only thing missing is support for Samsung's pop-up and split screen view, or maybe a builtin pop-up feature in the app. That would be very useful when changing router and access point settings while moving to see what the signal is like.

Lazy developers What's new? "Bug fix". I am not sure i can trust developers who are so lazy they couldn't be arsed to tell the users what changes they just made to their phones... "It's a bug fix, that's all you need to know peasants". Stay classy dev..

No support for multi-SSID routers. Has no support at all for multiple wireless networks that are managed by the same router. Could not figure how to tell it that 2/3/4 networks (all with different SSIDs and MACs) are actually managed by the same hardware and radio chip. Keeps suggesting me to change the channel because the current one is already in use by others that broadcast at similar power levels... WTF, really, Sherlock?... it's the same radio chipset so the router cannot use different frequencies for the different SSIDs.
It recommends channel 12,13 & 14 Channel 12, 13 &14 is illegal in the USA for normal people, so any of these recommendations are useless. Will give 5 stars if you fix this.
Great, and useful tool Great tool for keeping tabs on my Wi-Fi. It has gotten a LOT of use, my internet was terrible. But still allows you to see how strong your Wi-Fi is from room too room.
Love It Have used this app for many years for both personal & work. Does what it says always. Has helped sort out my WiFi coms problems my times. Thanks all!
It does what it says, however , do not change your channel settings. It completely messes up with to connections,I now have the most crappy with to you could have. The old saying is, if it is working fine leave well alone.
Where do I start? Pay-for-ad-free version requested. I only see one surrounding router or AP since the last update yet I know there are many. It is a tremendous help in dialing in those antenna for maximum coverage through the entire living space. Again, thanks for the app!
Efficient and Suitable Performs it's duties properly. Was easy to use, but may be difficult for others to manage due to a lack of a central UI menu.
This Is Cool Let's you know which Wi-Fi signals are the strongest. If you wander through your home or work you can see how strong the signal is at different points. And if there are several WiFi hotspots (there are dozens where I work) you can determine which is the best to use when you're at your desk.
Used to be the goto app for wifi at home and work. Ads ruined it.
Perfect A simple neat and very effective tool. Has very good features, it's accurate and it's fast. Can turn the ads off too. The first app I install when I get a new phone. Excellent work.
Useful Information Gives you useful information and how it's layed out is very good as it shows different AP'S and what channel they are using. The signal strength meter is good too :)
COOL Works as described. I can find a clear channel on the 2.4 network so I am not overlapping others in my area. This ability helps with the speed and strenght of my connection. Works with the LOGITECH REVIEW GOOGLE TV. GOOD JOB FARPROC!!!
Last update screwed up SSID when grouping. The GROUP name now takes the first ALIAS of the router. PLEASE FIX!!!
Very useful I've found this app very useful, both at home and when visiting friends and family. I'm able to boost wifi speeds by changing to less crowded bands. I'm happy and will be keeping this app forever.
Superb app. Shows APs and signal strength update v3.10.3-L: "Bug fix". HTC One 4g, Android 5.0.2. HTC Sense 6.0. SmartLauncher 3.24.11F(beta)
Wifi analyzer Really helps you analyze pay attention to your WiFi and the channels that are the strongest to use great tool
אפליקציה מצויינת מי שיודע להגדיר רשתות אלחוטיות, יודע שתמיד יש שכן מעצבן שעולה על התדר שלכם וחוסם את הקליטה, בנוסף אפשר לדעת כמה קליטה יש בבית בצורה ממש פשוטה. בקיצור, אהבתי.
Good app. On my new Nexus 6P, however, only APs on channels 1-11 are shown. On my old Nexus 5, all channels are shown, including my own AP on ch 13. The settings are the same on both phones, set to show ch 1-14, and I've tried with/without the experimental Channel Width setting which first made my Nexus 5 not show all channels. If you have any advice, please feel welcome to write!
Works again Newest update fixed the Channel Rating page bug. All seems to work well now.
Very helpful I don't need this very often, but when I use it, it works perfectly. Thank you.
супер программа The Best! Очень удобно показываются сети wi-fi доступные на данный момент. Есть множество видов отображения. Есть сортировки. Выглядит и делает свое дело на пять. То что я искал. Таких программ мало.
Very helpful Use every time I set-up wireless networks for both work and also friends\family
Great app, looks at both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz, has fast response and it so convenient to walk around and check signal. I just wish there was a Pro version that I could pay for to lose the ads,
Amazing I think it needs material design to make it more modern etc, but a great app nonetheless.
Works great but needs a new UI Even though the app does what is supposed to do, the UI is outdated and material design UI or a more neon one like the speed test app would look much better
It works as advertised,helps to pinpoint the sweet spots for maximum signal in a particular zone.
very Useful tool. Helps find uncrowded channel if too many AP's around

Thanks. More details please. Please describe what you expect, why do you think that way and more importantly what you see in the app. Good tool Useful for setting up WiFi, to see which channels are overloaded.
Fantastic Tool :-) Perfect! This has been such a helpful tool! Thank you!
Good for WiFi Situational Awareness Lets you easily see what WiFi is nearby. Easy to use and does what is says. Would be happy to pay a couple of bucks to get rid of the add.
Great app overall but the look of the app is somewhat outdated and uninspiring and it lacks better filtering options (ability to filter out all weak signals)
