I love wigle and this app really does a great job of making wardriving easy and fun. I'm consistently surprised by how well it performs - it gets really close to the results from my raspberry pi kismet rig (which has 4 wifi adapters!) and it's so easy to use. I'm on a relatively cheap phone (OnePlus Nord n20) and haven't had any issues while getting excellent results.

Not sure if it is working right, thanks for your kind replies. I'm not trying to be negative. But it's very odd behaviour, I see my Samsung TV listed right here in my Detroit suburb house, if I click on it, it puts it on a map on the other side of Chicago! All of my local stuff shows up in another state! It doesn't detect my neighbor, 20 ft away when all my other apps do. Very odd app.

Check out the site ( WiGLE.net ) or the Discord communities for wardrivers - you mentioned you're a programmer, so you understand - a one star review makes a terrible support forum. Guessing what you're experiencing is Bluetooth LE MAC address randomization and overlap.

14-09-2023 Update: yes, that feature would be nice when added, thanks guys :) ☺️. Please give us the option to block BT device from the list. Update: Thanks for taking time to answer us. I'm aware of that option, I was hoping there could be an option to block individual devices, the same way we can block WiFi AP.

Thanks for you feedback. Turn off Bluetooth Scanning under Settings if you want to avoid scanning Bluetooth, or untick "Show Bluetooth" and "Show Bluetooth LE" under the "wrench" icon on the main list screen if you just don't want to see them. Feature request added to queue!
