The application is currently in beta, please feel free to send suggestions, report bugs and errors.

Ratings and reviews

Great concept and easy to use layout but the accuracy is not even close enough to find a rogue ap or cine anywhere close to it. I tried many times and never got close once with the correct area mapping of the routers that are in my building ... If it was better accuracy I could trust it. But I hope you can perfect it. I know it's not your fault bc the satellite moving so maybe add a hot cold feature to locate a device using a I. Integration.. thanks anyhow

Using Samsung Galaxy 7 and calibrated compass, centered my location, and ensured blue dot arrow and compass were aligned many times, but the app still showed APs with known locations to be in wrong place, both angle and distance were way off. Using offset did not help. Many times known APs from neighbors showed up located in my house or completely wrong houses. High or low accuracy did not make a difference correcting location. It's easy to spin and align the green and orange lines so that's not the issue. Great concept but accuracy is not that good in a neighborhood with crowded wi-fi.

Pretty impressive app. You stand in one spot and rotate. It finds all the Wi-Fi devices and maps them according to the direction they are found. The distance doesn't work well. It's more like relative distance and not absolute. They're probably using RSSI which can vary from device to device. Still, a very useful app. They don't blast you with ads either.
