Overall sentiment: negative **Pros** - 🚀 Quick and easy signal indicator - 💡 Helpful for mapping coverage - 👍 Does what it says **Cons** - 🐛 Doesn't detect WiFi networks - 🐛 Inaccurate signal strength readings - 🔋 Drains battery - 💸 Overpriced paid version - 📺 Excessive ads **Commonly reported bugs** - Stopped working after iOS 13 update - Inconsistent performance across devices - Fails to connect to known networks **Most requested features** - Display signal strength in dBm - Faster refresh rate - Ability to scan for all available networks ## Newest reviews (17 of 356) ### 3/5 — Wi-Fi engineer thoughts *2026-03-13, version 1.0.2* I dislike the minimum information given as “signal strength” the real signal strength would be a signal level in dbm and BER so local conditions due to signal strength and interference could be identified. Throughput is a great end indicator but does not help diagnose real local conditions. ### 3/5 — Tengo miedo *2025-11-12, version 1.0.2* Tengo miedo porque esta app tiene mi ip (para el wifi supongo) y me da miedo que se meta un aker grr ### 4/5 — Works to find the slow or dead spots *2025-11-04, version 1.0.2* Being an installer of aftermarket wifi networks, this is just the tool to show me where the slow or dead spots are. Walk behind a wall and the signal drops? This is verification it’s not just the phone or laptop. It is really helpful in planning to add new equipment ### 4/5 — Ok i guess *2025-10-24, version 1.0.2* Good intentions but the scan frequency is so slow and unclear, it makes you wonder if it even works. Also the manual refresh doesn’t work. If you could make it work, augment the refresh rate to a faster steady rate or at least add some animation or progress bar to show when the next signal measurement is taking place, that would tremendously improve this app. ### 1/5 — Not remotely accurate. *2025-06-18, version 1.0.2* I have a 1gbps internet plan. I have newish 2.5gbps modem and router. While a separate internet speed test (relying on my WiFi) gets 600-1100mbps throughout the day, everywhere in the house this app gives precisely 97.11mbps. I don’t trust this app AT ALL. ### 1/5 — Dummy App, Fake data *2025-05-29, version 1.0.2* It’s a dummy app with fake information. Already feeded data showing ### 1/5 — No funciona. *2025-05-18, version 1.0.2* No mide la intensidad de la señal de rf. No sirve. Solo te da un montón de información que no buscas en un medidor de intensidad de señal rf ### 1/5 — Can’t do signal strength *2025-05-13, version 1.0.2* Just a basic Speedtest app ### 1/5 — Not worth the free download *2025-01-21, version 1.0.2* Do not download. Should have read reviews before I downloaded. Doesn’t work as advertised. No dbm readings like it boasts, ads after ads makes it unusable. ### 1/5 — Anuncios anuncios anuncios *2024-09-27, version 1.0.2* Any ncios ### 1/5 — Off no use *2024-08-28, version 1.0.2* Signal strength was slow after installing app. I then moved and updated, then it seemed to change on its own. So now I have more questions than before. Started to make sense then it jumped up and seemed to have no relationship to router ### 1/5 — No signal strength test at all *2024-07-21, version 1.0.2* No signal strength test at all ### 1/5 — B careful! *2024-04-14, version 1.0.2* The “3day free trial” was set to end the same day I started the trial. It was set to charge me the $20 right away. I looked like it might have been a good one, but. . . ### 1/5 — This is worthless to determine signal strength *2024-03-14, version 1.0.2* Signal strength is a parameter measured in dBm. The speed performance depends on signal strength but also much more. The signal strength, in dBm, of an AP can be determined without needing to be associated with an AP. A speed test requires having the password, etc. and is useless in determining if one has interference from neighboring APs. ### 1/5 — Untrue title *2024-01-24, version 1.0.2* Supposed to be a wifi signal STRENGTH meter, not just another wifi speed meter. Can’t expect people to buy this app if it can’t do what it’s title says it is supposed to do. Strength and speed are two different things. In case you app creators didn’t know. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work with WiFi 6 *2023-11-30, version 1.0.2* Completely inaccurate as it doesn’t appear to work with WiFi 6 routers Speed and signal on home screen shows as extremely low even when next to router Deleted ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work *2023-11-28, version 1.0.2* Gets stuck on certain speed display so I’m sure it’s not accurate. Made some decisions based on false readings and wasted a lot of time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s absolutely useless *2026-08-08, version 1.0.2* It reports random speeds most of which are greater the maximum my Internet service provides Mm ### 1/5 — Keep looking - a time waster! *2026-07-19, version 1.0.2* Absolutely every click results in an ongoing delay when the same unwanted add has to be sat through before anything useful is achieved ### 1/5 — This app should be fired into the sun. *2025-12-28, version 1.0.2* It was free and I still feel like I’m owed a refund. ### 1/5 — Keine brauchbare Informationen *2025-12-27, version 1.0.2* Zwar wird das WiFi-Netzwerk umfassend beschrieben, aber die generelle Aussage „Wifi: SLOW“ bei jedem Netzwerk (VF 250 MBit / Glasfaser gemessen 110 MBit) hilft niemandem Unbrauchbar, gelöscht. ### 1/5 — Not sure? *2025-11-26, version 1.0.2* I’m not sure if this app works or not as I’ve had it around a week and it hasn’t fluctuated one bit and even to move around my unit looking for a stronger signal it doesn’t change either ??? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-10-17, version 1.0.2* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-10-07* You are put in a loop of various games and advertisements until you pay. ### 1/5 — Doesn't do what it says it does *2025-08-25, version 1.0.2* This app does not actually have a WiFi signal strength meter. It just has a statement about whether or not the currently connected network is good, and the speed. So the app title is a lie. ### 1/5 — Demasiados anuncios *2025-07-31, version 1.0.2* Si tienes tiempo para que cada que quieres tomar la señal te pongan un anuncio de un minuto… adelante. A mi no me funciona. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-07-04, version 1.0.2* App does not work. Meter remains at 304.20. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good job *2026-04-07, version 1.0.2* Useful speed test highlighted problems with my WiFi ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy Signal Indicator *2025-02-13, version 1.0.2* I wanted an app that would show signal strength so I could place WiFi extender within 50% signal from my modem. Quick easy and simple. ### 5/5 — Simply works *2024-02-10, version 1.0.2* App works great. Change WiFi then hit refresh. Or walk around and hit refresh to find dead spots. Shows WiFi info as well. ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2023-02-10, version 1.0.2* Great job guys ### 5/5 — Compare *2023-02-06, version 1.0.2* I like it but feel the android app is better. ### 5/5 — Ótimo aplicativo *2022-01-21, version 1.0.2* Ótimo aplicativo ### 5/5 — Wi-Fi Meter is working properly again! *2020-12-07, version 1.0.2* This Application is wonderful, it is like no other, it is an excellent tool. ### 5/5 — Know the signal strength! *2020-06-10, version 1.0.1* It's so useful I could not believe it! ### 5/5 — Best signal app out there *2019-11-16, version 1.0.1* Great app! Recommend highly! ### 5/5 — I like it *2019-08-06, version 1.0.1* Nice app. Helped me find areas in my house that needed better signal strength, and in siting my extender for best use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
