App summary

Network Cell Info Lite 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 Lite 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 Lite. 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.

User reviews
This app was wonderful and the absolute best. There was a shortcut to a phone menu that let me select cell network type which was supremely useful allowing me to force 4G only. Recent update removed this feature which is a major downgrade and I could only access the menu thru this app. Extremely disappointed. If the option comes back I will gladly change this to 5 stars, but as of now, I can't stand app developers who take a perfect app and REMOVE functionality.

I've used this app for seven years and even purchased the "pro" version, which I used for a few years. I discontinued using the upgrade and went back to the free version. It worked just as well and wasn't as "busy" screen wise. This new update just doesn't work as well, and when I changed the location setting to all the time and precise, my phone warned that the app using too much power and repeatedly crashing even when the app wasn't running. Might have to delete.

Used this on a different phone a while back and was quite happy with it. I downloaded it today, and it seems that it captures more data than I remember. You have to accept the terms to use it, unfortunately, so it got uninstalled. I did give a second star because at least they were upfront about the data collection and what they do with it - it just isn't for me.
