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.

WalkTest is a brand-new app built from the ground up to test indoor cellular/wifi performance. The simple user interface allows users to record various speed metrics throughout a building and produce detailed reports on the performance of the cellular/wifi network. You can use the data from the WalkTest app to help you understand where you have cellular/wifi issues in your building, provide reports you can share with your provider, and provide the information you need to design a system to improve coverage. - Test Multiple Providers at Once: WalkTest allows you to connect multiple devices to the main device, allowing you to record data from multiple providers while only needing to mark points on one device. - Wide Variety of KPIs: WalkTest allows you to measure and map multiple KPIs including download speed, upload speed and latency. - Simple, Easy-to-Use Collection UI: Once you have uploaded your PDF floorplan on the main device, you can simply mark your location on the plan as you walk around the building. The app will then analyze the route you have taken and intelligently distribute collected data points along the route. You can even pin the floorplan to the correct location in Google Maps, ensuring that all exported data will have the correct latitude and longitude. - Produce Beautiful, Detailed Reports: The report feature allows you to export PDFs of metric averages and coverage maps for all KPIs and all floors. - Custom Thresholds: Exported reports include coverage maps and average metrics across various threshold bands. The settings section of the app allows you to define these bands and have that data reflected in the exported reports. - CSV Export: The CSV export functionality will export geocoded data of all KPIs to use it with external tools. - In-App Support: Should you need any help with the app, please reach out via the Live Chat within the app, or you can drop us an email.
