IMPORTANT: Due to changes in Android OS is Android PIE 9 support limited. OS limits app up to 4 scans per 2 minutes. Future Android Q 10 will probably remove any support for wifi scan for apps. Proof bellow. This app is tested and provided primary for Android 8.1 and lower. If you have higher version or upgrading to higher version its up to you.

"This method was deprecated in API level 28. The ability for apps to trigger scan requests will be removed in a future release. "

When using Channel filter it no longer defaults to listview instead it defaults to the graph view which is useless to me this occurred since the last update otherwise before then this app was my go-to is there any way this will be changed back?

Excellent app. I've been using it for years and it is very helpful to scan signal strength when setting up and diagnosing Mesh environments and WiFi Extenders. It is also very useful to scan for available and hidden WiFi APs when travelling.
