  • Does not work scam

    I downloaded the app thinking it would help me when I was working out in the field. Some of the places I work the phone service is sketchy, but I have to make calls and do computer work. when I downloaded the app I hit by once because it would be cheaper now it charged me $90 and the app will not work. It does not show up any net work connections. so therefore, it does not show any towers with the best signals.

  • My internet speeds have doubled 💯

  • Hard to use, don’t bother

    I installed the Open Signal app, approved the 3 day trial (before getting charged $70 a year), opened the App and all I get is a map with a blue dot on my location. Watched some YouTube tutorials on the App and what I see in the tutorials is not what’s showing up on the iPhone. Tutorials even mention free. There are no options to move to other tabs or views. I wonder if this is a fake site mimicking Open Signal???? I’ve deleted my subscription… they’ve figured out how to bill you, you just don’t get any services. There are several apps in the App Store, I’ll try another one and delete Open Signal

  • Cell tower location

    Cell towers are not where they say they are.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback regarding cell tower locations in Open Signal. We take accuracy very seriously and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. There are a few factors that could contribute to perceived discrepancies in tower locations: 1. Data Updates: Our app relies on regularly updated databases. Sometimes, there might be a slight delay between real-world changes and our data updates. 2. Tower Types: Some towers may be smaller or disguised, making them less visible. Our app shows the general location, which might not always align with visible structures. 3. Signal Triangulation: The app uses various methods to determine tower locations, including signal strength and triangulation, which can sometimes lead to slight variations in pinpointed locations. 4. Carrier Information: We depend on information provided by carriers, which may occasionally be imprecise or outdated. We're constantly working to improve our accuracy. Here's how you can help: Ensure you're using the latest version of Open Signal for the most up-to-date information. Use the in-app reporting feature to notify us of any specific discrepancies you notice. Contact our support team with details about the incorrect locations, so we can investigate and update our database. Your input is valuable in helping us maintain and improve the accuracy of our service. We're committed to providing the most reliable cell tower location data possible. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us improve Open Signal.
