WiFi Coverage Survey & Heatmap vs Remotify Pro TV Remote Control

Where should the router go? WiFi Coverage Survey answers that by measuring, not guessing — with a coverage heatmap drawn over your own floor plan, a ranked report of every spot, and a separate internet speed test. Start a recording, walk your home, and name the spots you care about — the desk, the couch, the far bedroom. The app measures continuously while you walk and produces a report ranking every spot, so you can see exactly where coverage falls apart and which access point is responsible. WHY NOT JUST A SIGNAL BAR iOS does not give apps the raw signal strength, and even where it is available it is a poor predictor: Wi-Fi hides a weakening link behind retransmission, so everything looks fine right up until the connection collapses. WiFi Coverage Survey instead measures the things that degrade early — loss on large frames, TCP retransmission and failed connections, tail latency, throughput, and the negotiated PHY mode — and combines them into a single 0–100 score. WHAT YOU GET • A live score, dial and chart while you walk • Mark This Spot — captures the 10 seconds before you press, so typing a name never pollutes the measurement • A ranked table of every spot, best to worst • Per access point breakdown: which node served which part of the walk, so you know which one to move • Outage and handover detection • A floor plan you sketch yourself, with your marked spots on it and a coverage heatmap over the walls • Placement advice based on the recording • CSV and JSON export • History, so you can compare before and after moving the router INTERNET SPEED TEST A separate tab measures the line itself rather than the Wi-Fi: download and upload over parallel streams, idle latency and latency under load, and which Cloudflare edge is serving you. Runs are kept in a history on the device so you can compare them. Five tests a day. PRIVACY The survey is measured against your own router and stays on your device — nothing is uploaded. The internet speed test is the one exception: it exchanges traffic with our own test server, and only when you start it. Location permission is requested only because iOS will not reveal the Wi-Fi network name to an app without it — your location is never recorded or shared. NOTES Recording needs the screen on, because iOS does not allow Wi-Fi sampling in the background. Measurement is deliberately intensive, so expect noticeable battery use during a walk. The survey's throughput figure is relative to your own router and is not a measure of your internet connection — the speed test tab does that.

Lost the remote? Your iPhone is one — and it does things the plastic one never could. TV Remote controls your television over your own Wi-Fi. Pair once with the six-character code on the screen, and every press lands instantly. Free to use, with the whole remote included. One optional Pro upgrade removes the ads and adds video casting, unlimited televisions, the sleep timer and wake — pay once, nothing renews. No subscription. No account. — TRY IT WITHOUT A TELEVISION — Demo Mode is on the first screen. A full working remote, no pairing and no TV required, so you can feel how it responds before you set anything up. — THE REMOTE — • D-pad with a real click and hold-to-repeat, plus OK, Back and Home • Touchpad page — swipe to move, tap to select, for menus that scroll forever • Number keypad for live TV channels • Volume rocker printed with the television's actual volume number, live from the set • Power, mute, channel up and down, and playback transport controls • Pick which page the app opens on — THINGS A PLASTIC REMOTE CANNOT DO — • TYPE WITH YOUR OWN KEYBOARD. Search boxes, Wi-Fi passwords, logins — typed on the iPhone and sent straight into the field on screen. Paste works, so your password manager does too. • SEARCH BY VOICE. Hold the mic and speak. The iPhone turns it into text with Apple's Speech framework and types it into the television. • APP SHORTCUTS. Four apps on the remote face, chosen and reordered by you. One tap instead of hunting through the launcher. • CAST YOUR OWN MEDIA. Photos and music from your library play on the television, served by the iPhone over your Wi-Fi. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. Video casting is part of Pro, and your first video cast is free so you can check it works on your set. • SLEEP TIMER and WAKE, with Pro. • DARK, LIGHT AND SYSTEM THEMES, with haptics through the Taptic Engine. — PAIRS IN ABOUT A MINUTE — 1. Open the app and tap Allow when iOS asks for Local Network access 2. Put the iPhone and the television on the same Wi-Fi network 3. Tap your television in the list, or tap Enter IP address and type it in 4. Type the six-character code shown on the television 5. Press a key. The pairing is saved to the iOS Keychain and reused automatically. Discovery runs through Apple's own Bonjour service. Adding a television by IP address is always available too, so a fussy router or a declined permission never leaves you stuck. — MORE THAN ONE TELEVISION — Save two televisions free — the living room and the bedroom. Pro removes the limit, for the box in the office too. Each keeps its own pairing, and switching between them takes one tap. — YOUR PRIVACY IS NOT THE PRODUCT — No account. No sign-in. No server. No analytics. The free version shows ads and asks before they are personalised; Pro removes them entirely. Your televisions, your pairings and every key you press stay on the iPhone and are never part of an ad request. Compatible television on the same Wi-Fi network.
