Make sure you know what you’re getting before posting

I paid the subscription for the mobile app only to discover that you only get download speeds not the wifi analyser. You have to pay again for the desktop app which is expensive. So I’ve purchased an app named wifi analyser that doesn’t analyse my wifi.

Give us signal strength

Give us signal strength and better heat mapping. It’s pointless to use the iOS version when it’s so crippled compared to the desktop version. Just allow signal strength

impossible de teste l'app

impossible de tester l'app pour voir si le heatmap fonctionne réellement. tester au moins 3-4 points pourrait montrer un début de heatmap et encourager l'achat de l'app

Un réglage ?…demande - lui !!!!!!

Cette appli permet de TOUT voir , observer…évaluer si un réglage ou une application…ou bien l’achat de "tournevis" est nécessaire ..!.. 😏😏

Glorified Speed Test

The free version of this app doesn’t do anything useful. It’s got a speed test which you can do a million other places on the web. WiFi heat mapping is not available on the free version. According to others it’s not available on the paid mobile app either. Don’t know why they even keep this active

This is brilliant!

I have set up a couple of WiFi extenders in my house and wondered how effective they were. I added a lan if my house to this, took a quick scan and now have a handy Heatmap. Brilliant!

Didn’t work.

Bought to have a tool for heatmap and speed test. The tool start but always failed asking to reconnect. I’m using my cell all days for internet calls and for sure that is no issue connecting to WiFi.

Limited Options

Paid the app just to realize I can’t even export it in raw data or convert to signal strength and asking me to use a desktop version. Don’t waste your money!

Incorrect title

The title ‘WiFi Heat Map & Speed Test’ led me to expect a traditional Wi-Fi signal strength heat map alongside a speed test. Had it been clearer that the iOS version only creates speed-based heat maps, I would have purchased the desktop version instead.

Great tool

Accurate and easy to use

De pago

Tenía buena pinta. Te permite escáner tu red wifi, para crear un mapa de calor sobre una foto del plano de tu casa, pero luego no te lo enseña, te dice que si quieres verlo debes pagar 10€/mes o 36€ para comprarla de por vida. No sé qué tal funciona porque no la he comprado

Limited iPhone use

Complete waste of time for iPhone users. The app has limited functionality for iPhone users and while a vague warning appears, the user is never explicitly told exactly what functionality is limited. Prompts to purchase the desktop version along with a coupon code mislead consumer to believe the heat map functionality will become available if purchased. Not true. There is zero connectivity between the iPhone app and the software. Any work completed on the iPhone is wasted effort as it exists in a silo. Customer service suggested I transition to an Android device for better performance. What??? Save your time and money. Hours of time lost. Do not recommend for iPhone users.

iPad Version Feature Limitations Caused Project Delays

Hello,

I’ve been using NetSpot for several months and, overall, I’ve been quite satisfied with the software. However, I recently ran into a situation that caused significant inconvenience.

Since carrying a laptop around for Wi-Fi site surveys is not very practical, I decided to purchase an iPad Pro along with a NetSpot license for iPad, expecting to use it as a more portable tool for my work.

When I needed to perform a Wi-Fi coverage analysis and create a signal strength heatmap, I discovered that this functionality is not available in the iPad version. As a result, I had to postpone the project, which led to financial losses and negatively affected my professional reputation with the client.

Yes, part of the responsibility is mine—I should have checked the feature list more carefully before making the purchase. However, I believe the limitations of the iPad version should be communicated much more clearly. From the product description, it is not obvious that the iPad version is significantly limited compared to the desktop version and is essentially suitable only for basic measurements.

Moreover, even the speed test functionality is not always useful, as it may not work in networks where outbound internet connections are restricted or blocked.

The money itself is not the main issue, but the overall experience has been disappointing. It would be great if you could offer some kind of solution for existing customers, for example, providing an Android license as a goodwill gesture. I will most likely end up purchasing an Android tablet specifically for using NetSpot, since carrying a laptop in the field is genuinely inconvenient. Having to pay for yet another license after already purchasing the iPad version feels difficult to justify.

I hope you will consider both making the limitations of the iPad version more visible to potential customers and offering a reasonable solution for users who have already purchased the software.

Sehr wenig Funktionsumfang

Für 39 Euro habe ich die Plusversion gekauft. Zur Analyse stehen für die Heatmaps nur die Download- und die Uploadgeschwindigkeit zur Verfügung. Alle anderen Analysewerte, die wichtig für eine Planung sind können nicht ausgewählt werden. Hier benötigt man die Desktop Version. Aber Achtung, die einfache Desktopversion Home bringt auch nicht mehr. Hier bräuchte man die Pro Version für 157 Euro um wirklich eine Planung mit mehreren AP durchführen zu können. Hab mir jetzt ein gebrauchtes Android Tablett für 80 Euro gekauft und verwende dort freie Planungs-Apps.

Just an expensive ad for the desktop version

I need to see frequency map and strengths from different areas to try and nail down an issue I am experiencing I found out that only the desktop version might do something that I can use after purchasing the iOS app. Shame on me.

Easy and Fast app

Works great !!

Useless on free

Don’t be misled, this app is totally useless on the free version. You can only ping SOME devices and maybe, if you’re very lucky (and the app doesn’t serves you a scam ad or hangs or right away crashes) you might be able to see a couple of devices in you network. Forget abou all the other functionalities, thy work only in overpaid mode. Garbage.

Meh not as expected I am looking for spectrum data

Meh not as expected I am looking for spectrum data

Ok tool but not what I need
I would like to see WiFi channels, signal strength by numbers, and exact network id info.
Also a spectrum view for interference as well

Maybe even a directional finder would be nice to find where all signals are coming from.

Good, but not enough information

I am trying to determine why my wifi stops working occasionally and which access point I should connect to as well as what channel would work best.

This app does not give me enough info.
