Ratings and Reviews
No instructions; can’t get to work
First, there are no instructions. If you’re going to have an app the functions on intuitive steps, the steps need to be intuitive.
I set up a project, imported a map, defined distance and took the first reading. Then moved to a second point. The locator moved automatically and I got a 2nd reading. But when I moved to a third point, the indicator did not follow. “Scan” was non-functional. I manually moved the map so the new point (why did I have to do that and not for the 2nd point?). Still no functional scan. After multiple tries, finally a message appeared saying no signal. But I did have a signal (both WiFi and cellular). Tried all this again. Same result. No idea what to do. Gave up….
App helps to build wifi heatmaps and measure wifi internet speed, works well, but limited…
I did not expect they would do that, but they did. For a long time, this app had a 1-star rating because to use it, you had to buy an additional, expensive hardware device. But with this release, they somehow managed to visualize WiFi and create heat maps using just an iPhone, and it's really free. What I didn't like is that the app looks like a beta version, not a full-featured release. It lacks any settings and offers just two features: WiFi Internet Speed Test and WiFi HeatMaps. So, don't expect to deal with a full-featured WiFi Analyzer. But overall, I would say it deserves a 5-star rating
Works as described
I know that the title of this review doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement but it truly is, considering how many apps simply do not live up to the hype promoting them. I found NetSpot tone user friendly and intuitive and the information derived from its use very useful.
