  • Didn’t do anything

    Never got it to do anything. layout needs work as well, lots of overlapping and unreadable text.
  • Best iOS WiFi analyzer

    Without needing extra hardware this is by far the best wifi analyzer out there, the setup takes a minute to do but it guides you the whole way and works great without having to break out a dedicated analyzer
  • 0 stars would be more accurate

    I couldn’t get this to do ANYTHING without needing to buy something. I passed and uninstalled it.

    We are sorry it did not work for you. nOversight requires iOS17 to work in live mode. If you have iOs 16 or lower some features are not available. The latest 5.1.0 release additionally makes the importing of logs easier on all versions of iOS. We hope you can experience the benefits from the latest release. Thanks for your feedback! We really appreciate it.
  • It doesn’t do anything

    The only thing I can get it to do is ask for the logs on my phone to “analyze.” Nothing else seems to work. It almost feels like it’s harvesting my information.

  • Provides amazing insight for wifi pro’s

    This is not a tool for the average consumer. It requires a little technical knowhow in how to use and analyze results, but is one of the most unique wifi tools I’ve ever seen in the App Store. kudos to the ingenius developers that figured out how to do this as a historically, been restricted to android apps

  • Connection analyzer doesn't work

    I subscribed in order to unlock the connection analyzer, but it doesn't display any information, just a blank pane. All the Advanced Analysis pages are blank too. Cancelled and refund requested.

    UPDATE: Please try the 5.1.0 update. We hope all your concerns have now been addressed and if you have iOS 17 you can see live data as well as process logs. Thank you for you feedback. It seems like nOversight couldn’t find any Wi-Fi information in the log you captured. We will use your feedback to ensure a subscription is only offered when the log has usable info and the subscription will have value. We will also ensure there is some feedback provided when there is no usable info in that particular log. It does work for many people so If you would like to try again after spending some time connected to Wi-Fi then you can do that without a subscription. A working log will show you the name of your WiFi connections and when you select a name, you should see the distribution of signal strengths over the past few hours. If you get that information displayed then a subscription will allow full analytics. If it continues not to work then you can always raise a support request at nOversight.com and we will help you.
  • Can’t get it to do anything.

    First of all, there’s nothing easy about this app. I installed it and expected to be able to see my Wi-Fi final or at least some sort of UI. Instead I’m asked to press vol up + vol down + power. Which takes a screenshot? It’s supposed to generate a log of some sort but it’s not at all for me. Really had high hopes too

    UPDATE: Please try the latest 5.1.0 release. We have taken your comments to improve things and with iOS 17, can now provide live Wi-Fi data. We are sorry it didn’t work out for you. Unfortunately there is no other way to get this info on Apple devices which is why you won’t find another iPhone or iPad app which can give you the information you want. nOversight is the first app to be able to do this at all. The method of pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power is the Apple way to capture a diagnostic log. We didn’t create it and have to live with it if we want any access to this kind of info at all. We recognise this can be tricky which is why the app is completely free up to a point so you can try it out without any commitment. There is another method using the device’s accessibility functions but this is also not a great user experience. Again it is an Apple defined process. Prompted by your review, we will write a guide for it. You contacted us via support and we responded within a few hours. We will use this channel to inform you of the other methods and learn if this is easier.
