Description

See Your Signals

With ColdSpotting, you can:
Visualize the strength of your network across time and space.
Find deadspots where your reception isn't well covered and maximize reception.
Diagnose poor or intermittant network performance.
Perform site surveys to ensure high-reliability.
Test connections using real-world devices.
Compare coverage across manufactures and product lines.

How it works:
We use ARKit, the Augmented Reality framework, provided by Apple, and optimized for their specific iOS hardware. When you tap the screen we take a snapshot of the Wireless Signal Strength at a specific location and draw a virtual box into the scene that is color coded to represent the relative strength of the Wifi in that exact spot(Green is Better, Red is Worse). By moving within a space, you can take samples at different spots to create a map of your network in 3-Dimensional space.

App Instructions:
Simply Tap your screen to test Strength in a specific location. A Box will appear at that location indicating the strength of your Wifi signal by it's color(Green is Better, Red is worse Black is no reply). By moving around and repeatedly placing multiple points in an area, you can diagnose Cold Spots in your coverage.

Data Charges may apply.

ColdSpotting requires an ARKit compatible iPhone with an A9 or later processor:
iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
iPhone SE
iPad Pro (9.7, 10.5 or 12.9) – both first-gen and 2nd-gen
iPad (2017)
iPhone 8 and 8 Plus

Ping only is cool...I guess

Almost useless, measuring something like ping won’t help you map any real coverage or signal quality. This app would be an easy 5 stars if you could also map signal strength in dbm, or even signal quality as all this information is available within the device field test app....so close, but no cigar.

Great job site time saver

I use this application on show sites (large venue corporate events) all the time for placing wireless access point. It is truly a huge timer saver.

Accurate, effective, easy to use!

ColdSpotting provides an easy way to find the best places to work or study when out and about. It’s also interesting to have a visual of cold spots and hot spots.
