About this app

IMPORTANT: Due to changes in Android OS is Android PIE 9 support limited. OS limits app up to 4 scans per 2 minutes. Future Android Q 10 will probably remove any support for wifi scan for apps. Proof bellow. This app is tested and provided primary for Android 8.1 and lower. If you have higher version or upgrading to higher version its up to you.

Ratings and reviews

Nicely laid out interface, packed with features. Question: with the next release could you not require the devices Location to be turned on? I understand it is required for some mapping features, but not all features. You could always flag the user with an alert should they wish to use a feature that requires it.

I'm giving it a 3 STAR rating mainly due to its extremely limited functionality in regards to settings/configuration, I also have to point out the fact that in reality what's shown in the publisher's screenshots DOESN'T ACCURATELY DEPICT THE ACTUAL/TRUE APP SCREEN!!! Further more I'm disappointed that the 5Ghz band aren't detecting/showing the adjacent channel being used i.e. CH. 161+153 for example. Lastly I'm really annoyed with the sloppiness for listing Channel Recommendation in 5Ghz mode!!!

I have been using this app for a long time on a lot of devices over the years for improving wifi reliability in houses, the only thing I wish it had was a customisable refresh time setting. is the current 30 seconds? it becomes frustrating with wait times, a custom setting so if the user wants faster refresh times would be perfect <3
