Ekahau Survey
NOT Free as stated on App Store $ 1000 + annual subscription.
Does not work without a license from their website
This app does not appear to work unless you buy a license through their website. From how I read it, this app cost $5,495 to use.
$7,495 (+$1,595) is a high price for a free app
This may be a free app, but it only works if you have an account, which is priced for big professionals only!
Can’t even open app...
Without an account. Scam
Stupidity
You download the app then launch it in the usual way. This is where things go crazy. Clicking on set up account takes you to another page where you are asked for your details, including a ‘license key’ which clearly you don’t have at this stage. Filling out the form without a license key doesn’t get you anywhere and prevents you from registering and setting up your account in the first place

License Key
Why not just advertise you need a dam license key? Waste of a download.
License Key Required - no valid way to get on in the app.
App requires a license key. If you attempt to set up a new account it requires the license key. No mention of cost or method to get a key. Probably a good tool.... but No!
Powerful survey tool in the palm of your hand
Ekahau Survey for iOS makes measuring your Wi-Fi super easy. It basically supports all of the measuring functions of Ekahau Pro (the desktop app) when you hook your sidekick up to your phone. Import projects from the Cloud or sidekick and get to walking! Super easy to use on iPhone with your finger or on an iPad with or without a pencil. Great for field teams that can go and gather data and upload it for someone else to review or to aggregate as part of a larger team project. ARkit integration means tapping the screen less and is a super easy way to pay more attention to where you’re walking and less attention on the screen. Tap semi regularly to reorient yourself for best results. A must have for any organization that cares about ensuring their Wi-Fi is performing as optimally as it can!

Finally has AP-on-a-stick capability
UPDATED review: Prior to the most recent update, AP-on-a-stick was impossible (no option to freeze APs in the app). This latest update added AP freeze AND move option, so this now makes the app 100% usable for planning surveys as well! Just finished a 9-site survey job, and it worked perfectly! So much better than carrying my 200-lb (ok slight exaggeration) laptop for a planning survey that requires freezing AP locations. The GPS survey isn’t all that accurate, but, because of what customers typically provide, I have yet to use anything but a pdf/jpg of a floor plan with Google Earth-assisted guesstimated scales.

Amazing time saver
Yes this product is for a paid licensed service and isn’t free but doesn’t warrant an angry 1 star rating as per the other user. This software combined with the sidekick makes surveys fast and easy with minimal fuss. They are adding new features as the product matures but even in its current format it has massively improved survey times without ending the day with knackered arms from holding a laptop. Battery life is good with an iPad Pro and you can do 4 to 6 hours of surveying at least before needing a recharge.
