WiFizer is your complete Wi-Fi and network toolbox: see your real connection quality, map your coverage room by room, discover every device around you, and diagnose problems with pro-grade tools — no account, no ads, no tracking. SEE YOUR SIGNAL — FOR REAL • Live quality ring driven by real measurements: latency, jitter and packet loss, with a rolling 60-second chart. • Go Live for true Wi-Fi numbers — RSSI in dBm, channel, band, link rates — using an Apple-Shortcuts companion built on Apple's own actions. • Mesh-friendly: see every access point you roam between, name your nodes, and track the best signal each one ever gave you. • On cellular too: no Wi-Fi? WiFizer shows your live connection quality, network type (5G/LTE) and provider. WI-FI HEATMAP • Walk your home and watch a live coverage map paint itself onto the floor through your camera. • On LiDAR iPhones, scan the room and see your signal on a real 2D floor plan and a rotatable 3D model. PERSONAL HOTSPOT INSIGHTS • Hosting? See every connected device — name, IP, live latency on an animated meter, updating as devices join and leave. • On someone's hotspot? See the provider and your latency to the host and to the internet, so you know which hop is slow. KNOW YOUR NETWORK • Device scanner: find everything on your network, with names, vendors and a detail page per device — live ping, advertised services, port check. • Bonjour browser: what every device announces — AirPlay, Chromecast, printers, shares, smart-home gear. • Bluetooth scanner with distance estimates. • A private, Face ID-protected vault for your Wi-Fi passwords, with QR sharing. SPEED TEST • Multi-stream download and upload with live gauges — no extra server needed. • Full history with charts, CSV export, and an optional daily background health check that warns you when your connection degrades. A REAL TOOLKIT Ping, traceroute, DNS lookup, port scan, subnet tools — plus an OSINT set: WHOIS/RDAP, DNS records, email security grades (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), TLS certificate inspector, HTTP security headers, IP geolocation, subdomain finder and more. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch app: live signal strength and latency while you walk. • Home and Lock Screen widgets: your network, provider, public IP and last speed test at a glance. FOUR LOOKS Choose your vibe: Soft, Mono, Glass or full-on Terminal. HONEST BY DESIGN iOS keeps some Wi-Fi details private, and unlike some apps, WiFizer never invents numbers to fill the gap. When something can't be measured, we tell you why — and give you the closest real measurement instead. FREE + PRO Almost everything in WiFizer is free. The live signal tools (Go Live, Heatmap, Watch view) are part of WiFizer Pro — one single purchase, yours forever, with a full 14-day free trial. No subscriptions, ever. PRIVACY No account. No ads. No tracking. Nothing leaves your device except the lookups you explicitly run.

About

WiFi Heatmap

Read full description

Two bars in the living room, nothing in the bedroom. WiFi Heatmap shows you exactly where your signal dies, and what to do about it. Walk through your home with your iPhone. The app draws the floor plan as you go, measures the connection in every corner, and paints a colour-coded coverage map: green where it flies, red where it dies. HOW IT WORKS 1. Mark the corners. Point the crosshair at the base of each corner and tap. You never have to reach them. 2. Walk around. Measurements are taken on their own while you move. 3. Read the map. Your whole home, room by room. WHAT YOU GET - A floor plan of your home, drawn by walking - A coverage map with signal quality in every spot - A score for every room, worst first - Where to move the router, before you spend money on hardware - Saved scans, so you can compare before and after BUILT FOR EVERY IPHONE No LiDAR. No extra hardware. No floor plan to upload. YOUR HOME STAYS YOURS Scans never leave your iPhone, and you do not need an account to measure. ABOUT THE MEASUREMENT iOS does not let apps read the raw signal strength the radio reports. WiFi Heatmap measures what you actually feel instead: how fast and how steadily the connection answers at each point. That is the number that tells you whether a video call will hold. SUBSCRIPTION WiFi Heatmap Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available as a weekly plan and a yearly plan. The current price is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
