This update includes general stability and security improvements

User reviews

The ONLY app that shows the wifi channel you’re on vs. your neighbors.

Since Apple won’t give this permission to 3rd party, it is extremely useful to see which channel wifi your neighbors are on. Apple just make update this and expand on this feature maybe to show precision signal strength.

Unverzichtbar, Update wäre hilfreich (=nötig)

Leider funktioniert in iOS 27-Systemeinstellungen die initiale Konfiguration von AirPort Express Basisstationen nicht mehr wie früher.

SEHR HILFREICH wäre ein Update für das Airport-Dienstprogramm, das dann die Aufgabe übernehmen kann. Nicht immer ist dafür ein altes iPhone mit iOS <27 verfügbar.

App froze phone

I installed the app and turned “wifi scan” on. Initially worked fine, then the screen turned off and was impossible to turn it on again. There were vibrations felt every 5 seconds and some heat produced. After some reasearch I managed to recover the phone with hard reset. Giving 2 stars because the wifi scan did work - only the app’s code interferes with the IOS.

AirPort all’infinito

Ottimo prodotto, dopo 8 anni, di funzionalità, non riuscivo a trovarlo e lo sostituito con altro apparato, ma durante un trasloco lo ritrovato sopra un armadio, lo riconfigurato ed e ancora funzionante, ho tolto il nuovo per sostituirlo con AirPort, sia come AP che sorgente audio X casse acustiche. AirPort tutta la vita.
Grazie Apple

Does not detect AirPort Express

Dear Apple, either update this app so that it works on iPadOS 26 or remove it from the Store. It does not detect AirPort Express. Good thing I had a trusty old Windows 7 machine on hand. Thank you for at least still making the installer for Windows 7 available.
