Useful Indicator

Works with iOS 13.3, and provides useful indication of your WiFi coverage by evaluating data transfer speeds. I was simply looking for a simple WiFi signal strength-meter, either a moving needle or a multi-segment bar. The App instead displays real-time data transfer speeds on a moving chart and that’s really much more valuable. I have no idea if the Mbps speed displayed is precisely accurate (it may be), but even if it isn’t, being able to move about and see the relative change in indicated speed is sufficient to be able to determine optimal locations and weak spots. Very nice that you can see the ongoing continuous fluctuations in speed or hold a “button” and see an accumulative average. I think it’s a great tool, very useful for someone looking to optimize their WiFi data transfer rate. Moving just at a few feet can sometimes make quite a difference. I can see this being useful outside my home too, particularly when choosing seating in areas with public WiFi. It is important that the user understands that this does not search for WiFi sources in your vicinity, rather this evaluates (faster speed = stronger signal) the WiFi source you are already connected with. I’m using the App on an iPhone X running iOS 13.3 and I’m quite pleased with it.
Perfect Simply Sweet Spots

I’ve owned several network analyzer apps that dished out a bunch of information that was way over my head. All I wanted to know was how my wifi was getting around my property. Ya, there were sweetspots and deadspots. I also learned my 5meg transmitter wasn’t getting out of the room it was sitting in. Didn’t take long to find out the power level had been turned down to 25% in the router. Dah. Now there are many many more 5meg sweetspots around the house. Great app!
Thank You!

O Lordy, I have downloaded so many apps that say they measure WI-FI speed, that can actually only measure internet connection speed. This one does it in a very easy to use app.
Excellent for what it is: assess router to device connection strength

Great feedback on connection strength within a home network for device data from router. Helpful to understand coarse impact of location effect on your Wi-Fi potential (assess interference factors which could be numerous or straight forward depending) It is not measure of speed from home to isp/dns at all but rather from router to a device. Does what it says it does, and useful. Only quip is ‘hold button’ to average could be made into perhaps collect 30 or 90 sec of information for average as a button rather than manual press and hold.
Great WiFi Analyzer

I wanted to see where my WiFi weak spots in my two level home are. I have Gigbit Internet on a Netgear CM1150V modem and a Netgear Nighthawk XS6. I started the app and walked around my home and this app showed me everything I needed to know! I can see where my weak spots are (my home was built in 1935). So we were experiencing weak zones. I now know where to improve and place my Router. Thanks to the developers for a nice app!
