AirPort Utility is free iOS app published by Apple Inc.
The Wi-Fi scanner feature is the best part

The Wi-Fi scanner feature is the part of the app I use the most. It tells me the strength and channel of all Wi-Fi networks in the neighborhood. You have to go to the Settings app and scroll down to the Airport Utility section to enable Wi-Fi scanning.
Used to be good

Not working after updating iPad to 14.2 It is no longer saying my Apple router.
Device selection unavailable for left area of the app

The app is essential for managing Apple Airport devices, and I use it to handle many. Configuring access management is limited, and NAT and port mapping seems restricted as well. To add to it, I’ve recently added more devices to my network and find sometimes the visual layout of them all (I’m managing 10) ends up spreading them out wider than the iPhone screen, which creates two problems. The first is that I cannot scroll to see the far left devices without the screen snapping back to center. The second is that often the left-most device is completely unselectable, almost as if the tapping detection area of the app is cut off to 75% of the screen from the right. This is true in either portrait or landscape orientation. I would love to see the app updated, but it looks like it’s not getting much attention as Apple discontinued the Airport device line a few years ago now.
Was not updated to iOS 14

Wife still has iOS 13 and utility functions there. I have upgraded to iOS 14.x and Utility no longer recognizes Apple router, Time Capsule, or Apple Express. Kind of pointless, don’t you think?
Solid productivity tool

Since 2012, I have used the Apple AirPort utility for two different networks, each using an AirPort Time Capsule as my main wireless base stations along with AirPort Express base stations to extend my network connectivity. When I have moved to a new office location, this utility has made connecting to a new network easy, backing up to AirPort Time Capsule is very important since I use a variety of Macs, and iOS devices.
Update and Revive Please ?

This application is morbidly outdated. Thousands still use airport routers. Update this app for god sake! Apple revive your network connection line! Big missed opportunity!
Excellent to check WiFi signal strength

Excellent tool to check with signal strength of your AP channels and any repeaters you have. Too many other tools don’t check signal strength and instead just do speed tests. Very useful tool!!!
Why won't this update?
100 nicknames later . . .
My iPad has been trying to load the update since October. It seems to download, but then tells me it failed to download and offers to retry. Retrying yields no better results. I figured something would eventually resolve this, but still no joy.
Will Not Update

I've used this app successfully to manage my airport extreme for years. Now it won't update to the latest (Oct 2019) version on my iPhone 5C. Description says app requires ios 9 or later & works on iPhone 5S or later. That's odd since I've been using it on this 5C for YEARS. How am I supposed to manage my router now ? Don't tell me to buy a new phone, Apple. We're all getting pretty sick of you telling us that this good device that YOU sold us is now crap.
