I wonder why. Maybe because Xplor towers tend to be only in rural areas. ### 4/5 — Heat *2025-08-13, version 2.1.2* Recently on both my iPhone and iPad running this app gets my devices VERY hot after only a few minutes of use. Please update your app. ### 3/5 — Great app but would like apple maps option *2023-06-14, version 2.1.2* This app is fantastic! My only complaint is that the maps that are currently being used are super laggy and underdetailed. Please add an option to use the naitve Apple Maps as the map. ### 3/5 — You can't find all towers *2022-10-04, version 2.1.1* You can find 3g and 4g, but I don't think all and you can't find 5g. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-11-07, version 1.5.0* Information are accurate and always add new towers on time ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-10-02, version 1.5.0* This app does what it's supposed to, which is to show tower locations on a map. It does this very well. Thanks for the app. ### 5/5 — Exellent and precision locations of Cell Towers!! *2016-08-24, version 1.5.0* I consider it is pretty exact locations the Towers of different carriers with proper descriptions of a band transmitter frequency! ### 5/5 — Great ap!!! *2016-08-02, version 1.5.0* A great ap. Thanks for providing it. I use it often if I have a dead cell zone and need to find signal or want to tell if an area I'm going to has cell signal. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-07-09, version 1.5.0* Used to help point a cellular booster!! Great app! For the user who suggested cell coverage in app... It actually changes. Cell companies consistently adjust antenna variables to address coverage concerns. I.e. It's quite possible that due to antenna tuning, what was covered by one tower one day, maybe covered by another the next day. ### 5/5 — Data finally updated to 2016-May-30 *2016-06-11, version 1.5.0* Data has finally been updated to May 30, 2016! It used to be May 1, 2015 for too long. Thank you for finally updating the data. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-04-14, version 1.5.0* Great app, keep updates rolling please and thank you ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-02-16, version 1.5.0* I would highly recommend this to anyone! This app is easy to use and it does what I need it to. It's great for finding out if you are gonna get service where you are traveling ### 4/5 — Update towers *2016-01-03, version 1.5.0* Last time the towers was updated may 1 2015 and it 2016. Please update tower . Good app lets you look up the nearby cell tower ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Grossly inaccurate *2026-03-10, version 2.1.2* Micro sites and towers shown but don't exist. I confirmed with mobile provider when they were in the area. Developer is both arrogant and dishonest by not acknowledging wrong data. ### 1/5 — No update *2025-12-20, version 2.1.2* For more than 2 years, this application has not worked properly. Please update under IOS 26.2 ### 1/5 — No update *2025-09-16, version 2.1.2* For more than a year, this application has not worked properly. Please update under IOS 26. ### 1/5 — Crap app *2019-01-16, version 1.5.0* Deleted this app in less than 3 minutes, says no tower near by , but there is a tower about 1.8 km away ### 1/5 — Lies Lies Lies *2017-10-25, version 1.5.0* Shows that there is no bell or Telus towers in Saskatchewan which there was when I was driving through there headed to maritimes, Open signal is a better app ### 1/5 — Accuracy *2013-07-15, version 1.2.8* The tower info is not up to date or remotely accurate. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2013-07-04, version 1.2.8* This is not accurate .. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with US towers. *2011-12-13, version 1.2.5* Doesn't have AT&T, Verizon ...etc. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2022-10-31, version 2.1.1* I’d pay for a version that used the Google Maps API instead of OpenStreetMap. I kinda wish users could leave ratings that are tied to a pin point location for their signal strength in a location. ### 2/5 — Larry *2020-09-05, version 2.1* No Shaw Mobile,Freedom Mobile has service in Sylvan Lake but App shows no towers there.I find the App is at least a year behind and many towers are missing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-07-06, version 2.1.2* The most updated database based on the official sources. Always perfectly located. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-04-04, version 2.1.2* Very convenient to use. I use it to see which wireless provider has the closest towers to me, wherever I am. ### 5/5 — Amazingly useful and data-rich app. *2022-03-11, version 2.1* I’ve been using this app along with the main website for many years. Super impressed with how well everything is presented. Information is well organized and usually kept up to date (dependant on ISED updating its published list). Can’t say enough good things. Thank you Steven!!! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-10-31, version 2.1* As the title says, this is a fantastic app for anyone who is looking for more information about their cell sites. Pair this information with the field test mode in iOS and you’ve got a really powerful tool to see information about your provider ### 5/5 — Great for Drone Pilots *2021-05-18, version 2.1* This is a great little app to help determine safe flying heights! Just wish there was a way to get rid of the ads…. ### 5/5 — Helpful! *2019-11-06, version 2.0* Smartest app anyone could think of ### 5/5 — Great for traveling in Canada *2019-09-01, version 2.0* The other reviewers seem to knock this app for not having US towers. The app is named TowerLocator CANADA for a reason. Invaluable tool. Keep up the good work. I used the website extensively to locate towers and plan our travels throughout Canada with excellent results. It would be great if the FCC in the US released a location database, but that hasn’t happened. ### 5/5 — Good *2019-06-29, version 2.0* Un peut lent mais très bien pour les voyageurs 🧳 ### 5/5 — Best app to use when checking networks *2018-09-06, version 1.5.0* This app has come in handy when wondering where the nearest tower is on certain networks. It has helped myself and my friends on which carrier to pick. Great app and glad it works after all these years still. ### 5/5 — Useful *2018-06-25, version 1.5.0* Use it to tell where signal may be bad or to force to a unique provider Easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
