Love the app! It only works if you have a high-quality device. Otherwise you can't even download the app. Wish it had more accurate location to surrounding devices and the ability to send those devices messages or to block them.

Just not accurate, regardless of calibrations. Close as it gets to my own wifi is 120m. Not helpful! And yes I recalibrated it a dozen times.

Great concept and easy to use layout but the accuracy is not even close enough to find a rogue ap or cine anywhere close to it. I tried many times and never got close once with the correct area mapping of the routers that are in my building ... If it was better accuracy I could trust it. But I hope you can perfect it. I know it's not your fault bc the satellite moving so maybe add a hot cold feature to locate a device using a I. Integration.. thanks anyhow
