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!

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 chips 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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!!!
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 3.24.10(beta)
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.
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.
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
Amazing I think it needs material design to make it more modern etc, but a great app nonetheless.
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.
It works as advertised,helps to pinpoint the sweet spots for maximum signal in a particular zone.
Wifi analyzer Really helps you analyze pay attention to your WiFi and the channels that are the strongest to use great tool
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.
Do not change yours to "free" ones it will actually reduce performance for you and others around you. Google it
Very handy This app is excellent. A great way to check wifi around you and also show where to move your own wifi to for best signal.
Great utility! Perfect for finding the best wifi channel. Like seeing just how busy the wifi spectrum is.
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)
1 word describes this phenomenal app is just wondrous Beat app ever
Truly effective. And must-have if you live in a condo or student's residence. Thanks for this great app!
WiFi I like WiFi it helps me learn. Long live WiFi whilst in the club. I have a WiFi laptop 802.11nightclub. It helps me avoid the neighbours aircrack. I live in a dolphin enclosure, help me I'm losing in Monopoly®. Twist like a superstar 2017.
Helpful app I have used this app for several years & find it useful even though I am not a technical expert.
