NOT SAFE

I downloaded the app. It asked for me for my email address which i provided. Shortly after I received and 2fa notification that someone tied to log into my email account . GET THIS REMOVED

Doesn't Work w/o Email

To keep using the app after the first test, you have to create an account. They claim not to collect information, then proceed to demand your email address to use the app. Bad app developer. Find an alternative.

Mission dark pattern

First, I would like to say that this app does, in fact, work. But it looses 3 stars for 3 reasons.
1: it’s ONLY effective at testing WiFi and cellular.
2: There is NO reason to do the whole “Sign in to continue” thing just to collect an email. Presumably, somebody has already purchased one of your products and wants to test it. Just let your product speak for itself.
3: There are better ways to test the effectiveness of a faraday bag than an app. Just stream some music on WiFi, then cellular and place your phone in the bag you want to test. Do the same to test Bluetooth with a speaker. And just start navigating on your favorite map app and wait for it to tell you that your signal is lost.

App Works

To the other guy giving a 1 star just for the email requirement and not the actual app itself… you can enter a fake email, it doesn’t verify, genius. Anyways, the app works and does what it says. It requires an email to test Cell Service, and the email can be random and made up. Simple.

Email required?

I can’t believe they build products and an app to protect our privacy and then require an email address to use the app.

Misguided

I tested another brand bag. Tests said zero cellular and Wi-Fi signal while in the bag.
Text messages later came while phone was in the bag.
Neither the bag or the tester are working as intended.

Why do I need to login to use your app?

I see no good reason to require a login to your site just to test the products I just spent good money purchasing from you.

VERY poor customer experience.

Deleting app now and looking for another faraday bag vendor.

Stop Prompting for Email

Why does this app need to ask for an email? How is that possibly germane to the functionality of this application? Astonishingly bad practice from a company that that is selling a (high priced) security and privacy product. Everywhere you turn … account, account, account… give us your email, give us your name. Stop. Okay? Just STOP!!!

don’t open

just downloaded this app on a iphone on iOS 12 and the app won’t open just goes back to the desktop of the phone

Not working

I have just tested the app when iPhone was on my desk. It’s passed both tests Wi-Fi and Cellular… something is not right here, I am not buying the bag … sorry

Works as advertised but there are other ways to test

The app works as expected. I wish IOS would allow for actual signal strength data though. Another test for me was with a good cell signal, streaming something live, and then placing the phone in the bag. Lost the stream within seconds. Repeated with a good Wi-Fi signal and same results. Then while playing recorded audio using BT ear buds placed the phone in the mag and instant loss of signal to the ear buds.

Works ok on iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS 15.4.1

Only problem is that it’s hard to avoid bumping the screen while placing in bag, which can interrupt the test, esp. with the web site button at the bottom. Better if it could continue test in background up to time limit.

Caution!!!!

Almost certain this is malware. Seemed to get kernel access. Fake overlays attempts to keylog and trick u into Puting in account password instead of the finger print scanner working.

Useless

Totally useless

Works great on iPhone X

Was able to easily and successfully test the blocking strength of my new Mission Darkness faraday bags. Just download the app and follow the instructions.

Showed cell blocked

With 4 bars LTE, the app still showed no cell signal.

Useless

There is no reason to download this app. It gives zero useful information. Deleted immediately.

iPhone does not work

Instructions say this does not work with iPhone X

Forces you to give them an email address

This app forces you to give and email Address

Worthless

After installing, I ran a test with WiFi and Cellular both on, and it didn’t seem to test or even notice my cellular connection, which it said passed, as if there was no signal, when there was.

I switched over to cellular only in the middle of the test, and it doesn’t notice my cellular at all..

I try rerunning a test with cellular only, and mind you this is all prior to even trying to run the test in a faraday bag.

When I rerun the test, it asks for your email to continue.

Shady and scammy in my opinion, especially for an iOS app that doesn’t even work as it should.

Delete.
