App summary

Network Cell Info is an extensive mobile network and Wi-Fi monitoring app with measurement and diagnostic tools (5G, LTE+, LTE, CDMA, WCDMA, GSM). Network Cell Info can help troubleshoot your reception and connectivity problems while keeping you in the know about your local cellular coverage.

Network Cell Info is for anyone looking to improve their mobile experience and achieve their strongest cellular and Wi-Fi signal strength. This app also shows users which cellular tower they're connected to along with stats on the history of their signal strength. Users also report when they experience bad signals via the key feature below.

Key Feature: The Bad Signal Reporter

Wouldn’t it be terrific if every bad mobile signal you encountered was automatically reported to your mobile network operator? How much better would our mobile networks be if the operators had access to this information and then acted upon it?

The good news is that such access is available today through Network Cell Info. This powerful app collects bad signal (either no signal or fringe coverage) data from the mobile devices of app users who have consented to such collection, and then generates a Bad Signal Report that we make available for FREE to every MNO in the world.

Nov 2024 - I have not installed my paid app in several months, and now it barely stays open. It keeps closing every time I go to the map. I'm using either Android 13 or 14, with several (possible fake) security updates that messed up several other things. This is the paid app so I would like to know what is going on please? It will not show a cell location, and every time I open MAP, it closes 5 out of 6 times. I want to upgrade to the pro version, but not until it shows me a cell tower and MAP.

I've noticed I no longer get any cell tower information. I understand from the app the information is collected from an external database, but I'm not seeing any. I'm on Verizon. Also, in the app store I see an almost identical app "Network Cell Info Lite" that seems to be the same version, but has more downloads and different screens. Why? Confused

Google popped up a notice today that shows the app has started sharing my location with advertisers. I would prefer that were not the case. Otherwise, the functionality is awesome. Google Play shows: "Data shared and for what purpose. Approximate location: App functionality, Analytics, Advertising or marketing, Fraud prevention, security, and compliance Precise location: App functionality".
