  • Idiot reviews!

    It does say you need to purchase the additional hardware! The description is VERY clear!
  • Great

    Great Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer! Working great with iPhone XS and iPad air 2!
  • Works well. But you need the antenna!

    Read the negative reviews and don’t understand the need for them. It won’t work without the required antenna. If you’re downloading the app to perform “wireless surveying” on an iPhone/iPad and you were expecting it to work via the built in wireless receiver, you’re probably in the wrong job.

    The app works perfectly fine with the WiPry-Pro adapter, but only does 2.4Ghz. The demo of the app suggests it supports other adapters, but I haven’t tested any others.

    Really useful for identifying consistently noisy channels.

  • MUST HAVE HARDWARE - don’t download

    $300-$500 is what it takes to make this app functional. Yes, after downloading the app you must purchase “the hardware.” Very misleading and a real waste of time.

    Not our intent at all. The demo is really there to simulate what it would be like to transform your phone / tablet into a wi-fi spectrum analyzer. Only way to do that is to have an additional piece of hardware...
  • [ Yes, I have hardware ] Won’t display SSIDs

    Yes, I have the WiPri 5X hardware - it shows the spectrum, but as soon as you enable the SSID display, it pops up an error that the device is drawing too much power (on iPhone X), the hardware powers off, and the app crashes.

    This is basically useless if it cannot show the SSIDs. Sad panda.

We want to make sure you are 100% happy and we are working hard to ensure it.
  • Device can not be powered off iPad?

    Borrowing the antenna/dongle from a friend to try this out. Considering buying a few for company use. Unfortunately it’s not going well.

    Every time I turn on SSIDs, it tells me that my iPad cannot supply enough power... Without SSIDs it’s pretty useless to me.

    Glad I didn’t pay for it.

    iPad Pro 2 10.5” iOS 11.2.5

  • Fantastic 2.4ghz spectrum analyzer

    For a wifi spectrum analyzer in this price range, it works marvelously. I have had this for several years now and I think my iPhone 4s is the only problem.(just a little slow) If I bought an adapter for my iPhone 8 plus I'm sure it would work great with it.
  • Great app - Yes you need the hardware

    The phone by itself doesn't have the hardware required to scan the radio frequencies so yes, of course you need to use it with the hardware!

    I've had this device for years and it does a great job of giving signal strength and identifying networks.

    Small physical device is easy to carry around and app works on iPhone and iPad.

    Intended for use by techs or consultants visiting customer sites. Could be used at home too if you have budget for hardware.

  • Doesn’t do anything!

    This app is absolutely useless because it doesn’t do anything at all apart from show a demo of what someone’s WiFi environment looks like. This is not helpful to optimise my WiFi at all! Don’t waste your time and storage!
  • Doesn't do anything.

    IOS doesn't allow access to hardware info which is why you have to buy their hardware. Or just get an app on a laptop. Regardless, this app doesn't do ANYthing, literally, at all beside show a demo loop of fake data.

    It's a powerful Wi-Fi spectrum analyzer that requires hardware to work. But with the hardware, you're phone or tablet becomes an awesome and professional troubleshooting tool for all things Wi-Fi.
