User reviews

There's a permanent ad in the bottom of the screen and the heatmap is limited to 50 points. I would give a better review if that was informed in advance of me running around the house. App is a mess but ok.

This must be a joke. There is no way you could ever get a wifi heatmap like on the picture, because you have to draw everything manually using circles. I repeat, it works by placing colored circles on a map screenshot yourself!

great for working out very best location for my router on a temporary long cat7 patch lead from the ONT (optical network terminal). The aim being sufficient signal and elimination of dead spots in all rooms using 5ghz before 2.4ghz as far as possible. Final location using this was better than my best guess. Now I have a reliable go to app to monitor and troubleshoot Brilliant!
