User reviews

I tried half a dozen apps of this type, and they all required enaibling location to measure the Wi-Fi signal strength. There is no technical reason for this; it is needed by the ads to tie your behavior to a location. This app does not do that. Thank you! It has an intuitive UI, easy to navigate, easy to read. Good job.

This app is by far the best WiFi monitoring app that I have used. It has so many features and gives so much more information than it's competitors. It also has a very clean looking UI. My only issue is that their privacy policy is too vague and generic. Since this app requires so many permissions, I would like to have a listing of what data is being sent back. However, I trust Ubiquiti and would recommend this app to everyone.

Not a bad app, although the Floor Mapper doesn't allow exporting. It does have a share feature, but it's essentially useless as it crops the scan, and I don't even have that big if a house. I tried sharing from both the main screen as well as within each scan (repositioning the area in the latter), but they both yield same results. I had to just take a screenshot instead.
