Ratings and reviews

Needs location permission to work, and seems to not ask for it. Need to assign manually. Once working, it's handy for seeing the broadcast channels and strength of surrounding wifi access points. Which in turn helps for selecting your own wifi channels in crowded environments. Hasn't been updated in a while, but still a useful tool.

Update: 4/20/22 With Galaxy S21 Ultra in the current Android operating system, this application does not work at all. It will not detect any access points no matter how close you are to them. 4/20/22 1:07pm Found that location services was turned off. Turned on location services and it's working perfectly again. This is a fantastic tool, but it only seems to be available for Android.

Not dependable on my new Motorola G7 as it was on my previous Droid Turbo. Connection within the app drops and reconnects too often to troubleshoot dependably. Cannot tell if app or wifi dropped out at any given moment. This had been my go-to for several years on a number of devices, but currently can't trust it in this device. YMMV Disappointed. Good app. Minimal ads.
