Ratings and Reviews
Latest Update is Totally Broken
Tyring to do discovery and I get:
"An error occurred whil scanning
Would you like to try again?
NSPOSIXErrorDomain
16
The operation couldnt be completed. Resource busy
Scanning will be resumed automatcially after x sec."
Repeat and fail!
Restarting the app and even rebooting helps nothing. So, what kind of regression tests do you perform before rolling out a new version?
Can not create a new survey, so it’s useless. Refund requested
I had used the free version without active scanning for some time and wanted to upgrade.
When I brought up NetSpot Reporter, there were no menu entries or buttons to start a new survey, and the older surveys I had created with the free app could not switch on the active scanning. So as far as I could tell, it’s pretty useless as is. I wish it had worked as I would like to be able to measure download speeds.

This is not the Pro Version
I purchased this version of NetSpot thinking it was the pro version. However, this version from what I can see is missing a feature called Discovery, which does a quick survey of the area. From what I can tell that is the only feature missing. NetSpot did help me get the Pro version. What I can say is you might pay a lot more for Discovery, which lists information of APs nearby or use an alternative program like inSSIDer. For me the Dicovery feature is worth the extra. Granted it’s a lot more then what you would pay for NetSpot Wi-Fi Reporter. There are similar programs on the app store that can do what Discovery does but for my job I have to be able to troubleshoot wireless issues quickly.
My favorite feature is the ability to map download and upload. I’ve used NetSpot for the past year and I can say it has gone a long way. It shows that they are dedicated to their product and are always improving them. This program is perfect for IT professionals or tech enthusiasts. You will not be disappointed.
