Turns your android phone into a Wi-Fi analyzerShows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.

Great application I use at work to check our WIFI hot spots I use it at home to check the best channel I was upset that it quit working on my tablet but after finding that enabling location resolved the problem I was relieved After some research I found that location is now required by Google and not the fault of the developer                     David Hitchner
No longer works with Android 9 If there are permissions that must be enabled it is the responsibility of the developer to inform the user in the app or in a separate instruction set They have not done that so time to move on How about replacing the bitcoin begging at the link with a help page Deleted     George Orwell's Ghost
This app still rocks When I upgraded to Android 10 I was a bit concerned because the app was acting erratically I just learned that since Android 8 WiFi scanning has been throttled to improve battery life Bad news normally Good news is Android 10 has a toggle in Dev settings under networking for turning of WiFi scanning throttling Turn it off and give this app the correct permissions and the app actually works better than ever Super fast Thank you guys                     Thomas Acampora
This is my favorite wifi analyzer Simple and perfect NOTE It requires location to work so if it s not working make sure you enable that permission This is an Android OS privacy requirement because you can infer location from surrounding networks I wish that wasn t the case but it makes sense                     Scott Heckel
this is a great app it s easy to work with and the graphs on it are easy to understand In case you don t understand graphs but you know your your username for your network you can find out exactly how much signal strength you ve got through this app I found out why I was getting a lousy signal and how to get a better one I just simply moving around my wireless server                     Irma Knot
Once running it is great and told me what I needed to know which was the best channel to set my router to But getting it set up was very frustrating and reading other reviews was required to identify why it couldnt detect a signal although it declared it was connected to my router App permissions need to be set to allowing location and I had to repeat this a couple of times before it would play ball             Nigel Inggs
Used to work very well and was gold standard for Wifi tools Now on Android 9 on Samsung S8 I get about two seconds of trace and then flatline This happens even if I enable Location permission manually it was already enabled I ll try a few more things and then move on to other tools Sad     Barry Demchak
excellent app but there seems to be a bug when in ap view if you click on the screen to change view of get to settings the screen just keeps jumping up and down as ig goes to full screen mode and back again further testing shows the above problem happens in most views and is making the app extremely difficult to use down graded to 2 stars until this is fixed         Gavin Bell
It used to work but not anymore It is unable to detect the wifi that my phone is already connected But the ads embedded on this application is able to detect and connect to the internet so this application is useless I tried other application and it worked     Jorge Castro
Because of changes in recent versions of Android you need to manually enable location permission in your settings to get the app to work Otherwise it s perfect for seeing the spectrum and nearby wifi networks                 Yusiang Leong
I used this app for several years on a Galaxy S4 running Android 4 and 5 and it worked wonderfully Now on a new phone running Android 9 it demands that I turn on location apparently this is required by newer versions of Android and it shows nothing whatsoever Total failure So sad to see this     David Dixon
I have a ton of neighbors all with WiFi networks This app helps to identify channel bands in my area so i can change my wifi to ones that don t contain neighbor s traffic thereby helping to speed up my service I also found an unsecured network in my neighborhood with this app                     Gregory Eaton
Works great One thing is I cannot change the color of an ap on the graphs If you re color vision is poor purple is near invisible against a black background Tried working with the color tool in settings but it has no effect                 John Lingenfelder
Great app Works very well and gives useful data Android Pie 9 users will need to allow permissions to get it to work though I have had it installed for years across many phones The google caused permission fault with Pie was my first issue ever                     Kelly M
WAS the best analyzer I ever found Now requires access more Accesses to you phone to even open BS This updated version I just updated to doesn t even work after I gave permissions Sees other nodes but no wireless networks Broken going back turn off updates     4Phone Droid
Was the best for a very long time Android 9 came it couldn t keep up Show nothing even with location turned ON Just a wifi analyzer what s with the location info Galaxy Note 8 App deleted Sad     IT.JUNKIES IT.JUNKIES
I would have given it zero star but by default I had to give it one The app is a bust It couldn t pick anything up even with me sitting near the wifi router Going to use an app that works     Daniel Baker
This App worked brilliantly under Android 8 but my phone Samsung J6 has upgraded to Android 9 Now the App updates its results 3 or 4 times then freezes and only starts working again when I switch the phone s WiFi on or off when it updates another 3 or 4 times                 Richard Taylor
One of the best WiFi analyzer apps I ve used However it didn t seem to work on my Pixel 3 running Android 9 Problem resolved It needs location permissions enabled On Android 9 the install doesn t auto ask this You need to access settings and apps then manually enable                 Mike DeLima
This was a great app until you had to turn on location for it to run Now it is worthless as I never turn on location There is no valid reason Google needs to know where a wifi network is located     Lynn Hales
Was a great app but it can t find any WiFi even though I m connected to one now There is some fix with location permission but I m just going to get a different app It has one job to do that it cannot do so I cannot give it more than 1 star     Declan Ruane
Have used this app for many years without a problem but now will not work on new phone with Android Pie Have been forced to use another App Will come back when this is rectified                     Ady Dalal
My go to Wi Fi analyzer since I found it a couple years ago if you re having trouble since the latest update make sure all the application permissions are turned on in settings Thanks to Lee Marshall for the fix                     Derek Davison
Does not work at all under Android 9 Pie until you give it Location permission Then it works very well giving the user a superset of the various options offered by similar apps There is no excuse for failing to beta test the OS change and notifying the user on first use that a required permission needs to be set That s literally all the developer of a working app needs to do in the way of maintenance Until it gets this necessary update using this app is an exercise in frustration     Alex Watson
This worked fine on my old phone Android 5 but on my new one with Android 9 nope It just sits there displaying empty graphs I will try again if it gets updated for Pie     Roy Hinchliff
whats the point in a wifi analyser that cant see networks Yes I ve now read that I have to manually go and enable location settings but why does it not prompt you to do that I ve installed another app now and that works really nicely so this is being removed     Chris
Used to work but no longer works Very buggy once the app is opened it scans endpoints then 10 seconds or so later it stops scanning App still works but it appears as if the scanner is frozen or broke     Jacob Mossner
No longer scans WiFi Hasn t worked on any phone with Android Pie 9 x Does still display ads though Hopefully this app gets fixed but until it does it is entirely useless     Scott Colosimo
Just doesn t work Screens are blank and contain no data I downloaded another app that seems to work just fine         Chris Porro
I just downloaded this app to my new Google pixel 3 phone and it doesn t detect any Networks I ve used this app got years on my old Samsung Galaxy S7 edge I downloaded a different app and it works what s up any suggestions     Steven Enriquez
I have used this app for a few years now and it really does a great job It gives me all the info needed to make the correct changes to our WIFI setup in a very critical environment The people that rate this application bad must not have the knowledge needed to know what to do with the information Really great application would give it 10 out of 10 if that was an option                     Johann Luus
Fails to detect any WiFi networks either 2 4 u0026 5GHz on the Honor 8X on Android 9 When it does work it is excellent and I ve had this app for years in other smartphones         Lee
No graphs anymore This was my top app for many years but on my new Galaxy S9 it doesn t show anything except the IP address I found very similar comments from other reviewers Also no reply from the support A competitors app works very well on this phone Please fix this issue then 5 stars are back         Martin Lehner
WAS a great app I used it a lot to my Nexus 4 But it s next to useless on my Moto G6 the signal strength doesn t update as you move around even on the shortest update setting     Martyn Vann
Would love to live this app if it didnt hesitate often and if the UI was a little more friendly Its workable but could be so much vetter with some common sense GUI tweeks like not hiding the displayoptions behind yhe hamburger menu             Jeff Ballard
Killed by Google Thanks to Android Pie this app has been rendered less useful Foreground apps are limited to four scans every two minutes so it s not possible to get a constantly updating supply of information from this app or any others like it See Android issue tracker entry 79906367 for more information The app is able to bypass this restriction to a degree by using data from location permissions but that s not as useful and upsets users This app and many others are broken by Pie                     Kit Parenteau
It was a great app But now the scan interval is about 10 seconds can t change it Useless     Teekay P
App is good But it needs an UPDATE This app still works great on older phone hardware IE samsung note4 2012 and HTC EVO LTE 2008 However the new Samsung S10 2019 now no longer works The wifi channel and graphs sensor do not display work anymore LAN ip mac checks still work however on S10                 Andrew Chan
used to be the best app with 5 stars at the moment I can t even give it one star because every Network I scan the signal meter goes up to the correct value and then freezes there no matter where I walk it stays at that value and appears as if it is working because the beeping can still be heard but the meter will not move perhaps this is a phone OS issue from an update but some other apps with similar feature sets are still working I will change my review back to five star once fixed     Jeff Heart
this is an app ive used for years without issue it s been great for helping diagnose wifi issues caused by overused channels etc but sadly it doesnt appear to work on the Nokia 7 plus it can see that im connected displays my ip but when trying to use any of the features it shows no networks at all in range             Bryan Cohen
