Cell tower

Useless no towers on map ???

Nope

Downloaded it, was surprised to have to pay as I understood it to be freeware. Paid for it. It Didn’t show me where the tower was. Wasted time and money.

Doesn’t work

Developers site is down, he’s MIA, app doesn’t work as advertised.

App is free, but immediately requires payment upon opening to use. Why not just charge up front?

Then it doesn’t work. Can’t pull tower data, which was the point. Exploring the app after, it’s just tower data and a very basic speed test. Def not worth the price they’re demanding.

Scam

This is a complete scam, before you can even use the app they make you do a $30 payment then no a single thing loads you just get an error message over and over. Don’t buy the bs of the developer responding he’s a scammer and this app is a complete scam. Trash

Junk !!!!!!

Can’t believe I paid for this software.
What a pile of junk.
Always says “unable to load cell towers, try again later”

I am standing next to a cell tower and it cannot find it.

Completely worthless.

No Towers seen!

Stay away from this app.
No results

As far as in App purchase, the app is very deceiving.
There is no clear message for in app purchase may be Apple needs to review this developers practise for in app purchases.

More this App is useless, no relevant results.

Absolute ripoff

Does not work. Tried in many areas with many different strengths of signal. All the app says is “cannot load towers, try again later.” Also, non refundable. Legalized theft

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.
