Free to download but $30 to actually open and use it.
I heard this could be useful for locating cell towers. So I found the app and saw “in-app purchases”
That’s fine. If it’s good I’m happy to sub or buy.
But instead I downloaded it to try it out and as soon as it opens it insists on me paying $29.99 to even try it out. I am NOT paying you $30 for a lifetime subscription for an app that may be garbage.
I’d pay $5 for a couple weeks or a month or whatever to try and then decide. But since you hit me with $30 just to open it the first time it’s an instant delete and 1-star.
Additionally after closing and opening it two or three times the page asking me for $30 went away and I got a map. And it can’t actually load any data. Just a map and an endless repeat of the “Can’t load cell towers” error.
So I’m glad I didn’t fall for that insistent $30 subscription page.

Misleading
Downloaded to locate local tower sites. It only shows ‘coverage’ as pin drops, rather than actual FCC cellular tower locations. ~$30 well wasted.
This is a fraudulent app
This is not the real CellMapper app… it’s pretending to be the CellMapper app so it can charge you $20.
It worked for a day
It was a great app while it lasted. Into the second day after I paid for it it just stopped accessing the data.
Extremely deceptive pricing. Do not label an app as free if it's completely paywalled from the momen
Extremely deceptive pricing. This app is listed as 'Free with In-App Purchases,' but there is zero free functionality—you literally cannot do anything without paying $30 up front. Do not label an app as free if it's completely paywalled from the moment you open it.
Junk
It doesn’t show any 5G towers in Charleston South Carolina. This absolute garbage should not be in the App Store.
Not this app
This is not the app you’re looking for this is not giving good information. And it does not give Tower locations
No way to tell if it’s legit. Deleted.
No way to test the app to see if it’s reliable without having to pay $29.99. Automatically deleted the app
Misleading
This app is completely unrelated to CellMapper (cellmapper.net)
Misleading App Store name
1. It’s called CellMapper in the App Store which is the name of a good cell signal and tower mapper. Once you download, it’s called something else. I’m ashamed I was duped into paying $30 I can’t get back.
2. It’s a worthless app that provides no real insight into signal or tower info. Any info you get is incredibly out of date, as well.

Cell tower finder
Not what I expected don’t show actual towers
Advertises 5G, doesn’t show 5G
It specifically states 5G in the description and then fails to deliver. Terrible.
The app is a piece of garbage and it’s completely inaccurate
It shows 15 cell towers within about 5 miles of me and I know it can’t correct it also shows an app a tower in my front yard and I know that’s not correct according to the FCC data the closest tower to me is 11 miles away. what’s worse than that is that I can’t get a refund for the pro version. Apple should take this app from the store.

Don’t waste your money
If this app actually showed me cell towers on the map I might at least give it 2 stars.
App doesn’t work
Inaccurate information. Waste of money
Not worth the subscription
I wasn’t able to try the app without paying the subscription fee. Once I paid it and used the app I realized it wasn’t worth the subscription fee. It doesn’t provide me with the information I needed. It took me two seconds to realize it but I had to pay for that two seconds.
Typical “Pay to use”
Doesn’t work without paying. No way.
No Free Option
Based on the app’s description, I assumed that there would be some basic functionality even without a subscription. There is no such thing - at least nothing that is obvious. All I can do is to tap the button that wants me to pay. You should just charge for the app itself, then I would not have been tricked into downloading it.

I know why people are mad in the reviews,
I thought I could use some basic functions for free. I assumed wrong. I could not do one single thing unless I paid $29.99 first. Not many people actually need this often. And, we don’t even know how good it works. I’ve had chats with Gemini before and it Apple locks down their hardware too much, and it can’t easily do what we wanted it to do here. On my not in use anymore Samsung S24 Ultra, this same app is free and can do exactly what I wanted it to do. A good reason for me to have a decent Android phone on hand.

Nutzlos
Ein Stern ist noch zu viel.
Die App ist absolut nutzlos, so lange man nicht die 34€ teure Pro-Version erwirbt.
