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

AR Wifi Analyzer

Features
Read full description

Find the Wi-Fi dead spots in your home, and see exactly where they are. AR Wifi Analyzer uses the LiDAR scanner on your iPhone or iPad to build a 3D model of your home while it measures your Wi-Fi everywhere you walk. The result is painted straight onto the walls and floor: green where the connection is strong, yellow where it's fair and red where it struggles. SCAN IN 3D Walk slowly through your home. The LiDAR scanner builds the rooms around you, and every scan is cleaned up into a smooth, tidy model when you save it. LIVE COVERAGE Coverage is measured as you move and appears on the real walls in real time, so you see a weak spot the moment you walk into it. FLOOR PLAN Look down on your whole floor, with the walls drawn in, and spot the weak rooms at a glance. 3D VIEW Rotate and zoom around your saved home from any angle. WALK IT AGAIN Return to a saved scan in AR. It lines back up with your rooms, so the saved coverage appears on the real walls again. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, and nothing is ever uploaded. GREAT FOR • Finding the best place for your router • Deciding where a mesh node or extender will actually help • Checking the home office before an important video call • Scanning again after a change to see if it made a difference HOW IT MEASURES iOS doesn't let apps read raw Wi-Fi signal strength. Instead, AR Wifi Analyzer measures what you actually notice: how quickly and how reliably your router answers from each spot. Slow or missing answers are what make video calls stutter and pages hang. REQUIREMENTS Requires an iPhone or iPad with a LiDAR scanner (iPhone 12 Pro or later Pro models, iPad Pro 2020 or later) running iOS 26 or later.
