Update?

Can’t use this app on iOS 11, please release update version

Vanished = NO SUPPORT OR UPDATES

This developer seems to have vanished like so many apple developers lately

Useless app. Has not updated in two years

I have been holding out for this app for awhile now hoping that they would update. We used to use it to check signal strength (cellular dBm readings) for quite awhile... They have not and probably will not update. Don't download.

Doesn't display active signal strength

Seems to just be a static display of cell signal: 0% and -113 dB for both iPhone and iPad.

Doesn't show any more than phone already has

Signal strength is exactly what my phone has so it is just re-reporting that info. Pointless
