WiFi heatmapper, analyzer, network scanner, ping, and Internet speed test app. No extra hardware!
NetSpot 3 delivers powerful WiFi site surveys with internet speed,ping tests and device discovery to iPhone and iPad users. Build realistic WiFi heatmaps right on your iPhone or iPad in minutes, without additional expensive hardware! Analyze and troubleshoot your wireless networks with color-coded interactive heatmaps, very simple to create and interpret.
NetSpot, famous for its versatile network tools with millions of business and home users across all platforms, is the only WiFi scanner app with heatmap visualizations on the App Store. Effortlessly manage your Wi-Fi survey projects by organizing them into multiple zones and snapshots for each surveyed area. Flexible configuration settings let you customize the look and feel of your WiFi map and choose the desired gradient to properly highlight areas with high WiFi speed and stable connection, as well as the areas with low WiFi signal that may need improvements.
NetSpot’s WiFi speedtest is a great one-tap solution to verify and track performance of your wireless setups over time.
NetSpot also offers Ping Tests. A ping test is a great way to check network connectivity for any underlying network issues and measure the latency. High latency may indicate slow or laggy internet, which affects gaming or video calls quality.
NetSpot offers a handy Device Discovery mode, which basically turns the app into a network scanner collecting information on all devices connected to your network. It depends on devices, which information can be collected, but in general you can see such data as MAC address, IP address, device names, software and firmware versions, a class of device (e.g. smartphone, smart device or a laptop.), etc.
The free version of NetSpot for iOS lets you use Device Discovery mode, as well as test the ping and Internet speed. WiFi Survey mode with heatmaps is available in NetSpot Plus - a one-time in-app purchase.

I have previously used WiFi checkers that are good but simply give a list of numbers indicating your network speeds. When you see it on a house plan showing your own home and rooms it’s much easier to see.
Does not work and no help
Pod almighty
Bought to map wifi coverage but have requested refund since so does not spread to work and there is no help a pretty amateur development by looks of things. First speed test, that comes for free in many apps - absolute rubbish. Shoes my download speed as 8Mbps - 21 Mbps. I know this is nonsense. Treated with multiple other speed testers and all agreed on speeds of between 70 and 80Mbps and all nice and consistent. The resukts from this app are just random.Tried the wifi mapper and the descriptions I read online said that you can draw the floor plan using the app. I could see no such facility the only thing you can do is take a photograph of a map the floor plan that you’ve already got cannot use it without doing this. I looked for Help but there is no help menu. The whole thing is just a complete and utter waste of time, have requested a refund who knows whether I’ll get it?
Useless

We have a long single storey house. I put in the floor map, measured the width of the house and did first scan ok. But any future scan points were said to be too close to the first one! Cancelled subscription
Developer Response
Seems like a zone calibration error. Ensure the real distances were set properly when the floor plan was loaded into the app and the sector size was selected correctly when adding a new zone to your WiFi heatmap project. If it's still a no-go, please reach out to us at onair@netspotapp.com, we'll gladly have a look.
This is brilliant!

I have set up a couple of WiFi extenders in my house and wondered how effective they were. I added a lan if my house to this, took a quick scan and now have a handy Heatmap. Brilliant!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to hear that the Internet speed heatmap feature helped you easily see how well your new WiFi extenders are working.
Fixed several interface bugs to enhance your user experience.
