NetSpot WiFi Analyzer vs WiFi Heat Map & Analyzer

NetSpot 3 delivers powerful WiFi site surveys with internet speed, ping tests and device discovery to iPhone and iPad users. Build realistic WiFi heatmaps right on your iPhone or iPad in minutes, without additional expensive hardware! Analyze and troubleshoot your wireless networks with color-coded interactive heatmaps, very simple to create and interpret. NetSpot, famous for its versatile network tools with millions of business and home users across all platforms, is the only WiFi scanner app with heatmap visualizations on the App Store. Effortlessly manage your Wi-Fi survey projects by organizing them into multiple zones and snapshots for each surveyed area. Flexible configuration settings let you customize the look and feel of your WiFi map and choose the desired gradient to properly highlight areas with high WiFi speed and stable connection, as well as the areas with low WiFi signal that may need improvements. NetSpot’s WiFi speedtest is a great one-tap solution to verify and track performance of your wireless setups over time. NetSpot also offers Ping Tests. A ping test is a great way to check network connectivity for any underlying network issues and measure the latency. High latency may indicate slow or laggy internet, which affects gaming or video calls quality. NetSpot offers a handy Device Discovery mode, which basically turns the app into a network scanner collecting information on all devices connected to your network. It depends on devices, which information can be collected, but in general you can see such data as MAC address, IP address, device names, software and firmware versions, a class of device (e.g. smartphone, smart device or a laptop.), etc. The free version of NetSpot for iOS lets you use Device Discovery mode, as well as test the ping and Internet speed. WiFi Survey mode with heatmaps is available in NetSpot Plus - a one-time in-app purchase.

Find your home WiFi dead zones in under 10 minutes, using nothing but your iPhone. Walk from room to room, tap to measure, and watch a color map of your actual WiFi performance build itself — speed and latency, where you really live. No subscription. No ads. No account. One purchase, yours forever. WHAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIND OUT - Which rooms are slow, and how slow, in numbers you can act on - Whether the problem is your WiFi or your internet connection - Where to put a mesh node, an extender or the router itself - Which of the devices on your network is eating your bandwidth - What every IoT device on your network is broadcasting about itself HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick one of the ready-made floor plans, or use a photo of your own plan 2. Walk to a spot, tap once — the app measures throughput and latency there 3. Repeat for each room. The heat map builds as you go 4. Save the finished map to your photos, to compare after you move the router Step-by-step mode does the setup for you: no target to choose, no protocol to configure, no documentation to read. The advanced interface is still there when you want full control. NO EXTRA HARDWARE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Professional WiFi surveys need an Ekahau Sidekick or a WLAN Pi. This app needs your iPhone. And unlike almost every other WiFi analyzer on the App Store, there is no weekly plan, no annual plan, and no ads — you buy it once. ALSO A COMPLETE NETWORK TOOLKIT - Scan every device on your LAN, with vendor, IP address and open ports - Discover every mDNS/Bonjour service: HomePod, Apple TV, printers, IoT - Ping and latency to local devices and to any internet host - Throughput measurement against another device running this app, any TCP CHARGEN/DISCARD server, or the internet - Run a TCP CHARGEN or DISCARD service on your own device - 3D animated view of your local network topology FULL SNMP CLIENT INCLUDED Query any SNMP agent on your routers, switches, access points and printers. SNMP v1, v2c and v3, with noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv and authPriv, MD5 and SHA1 authentication, DES and AES privacy. 64 standard MIBs are bundled, so object identifiers are resolved to readable names offline — no server, no subscription, nothing to configure beyond the agent address and credentials. FOR HOMES AND FOR PROFESSIONALS Built by a network engineer. Simple enough to diagnose your apartment on a Sunday afternoon, precise enough that telecom professionals use it on the job. BEFORE YOU BUY — WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO Apple does not let any third-party iOS app read WiFi signal strength or scan neighboring networks, and no App Store app can do it — this is why professional tools need external hardware. This app maps what it can measure at the spot where you are standing: real throughput and latency. That is what a home heat map needs. It measures the network you are connected to, one heat map at a time.
