There is one spot in your home where everything stops working. The far bedroom. The kitchen table. The corner of the sofa where every call drops. You have probably blamed your provider, then your router, then yourself, and moved the box to a different shelf hoping something would change. WiFi Heatmap ends the guessing. Walk through your home with your iPhone or iPad and watch your rooms appear on the screen. Then watch your WiFi paint itself across them: green where it is strong, and unmistakably red where it dies. Not a number. Not a bar. A place you can walk to and point at. WHAT YOU SEE - Your own home, drawn from your own walls, not a stock diagram - Green where it works, red where it does not, in every room you walk - The exact spot your signal gives up, marked on the floor - Where to put a booster, and how much of the dead space it would rescue - A report you can hand to your landlord or your provider without explaining a thing WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT Other apps hand you a score and leave you to work out what to do with it. A score cannot tell you that the problem is the wall behind your bed. This shows you your home, and where in it the signal runs out. Suddenly the argument at home is over. It is not the laptop. It is not the phone. It is that corner, and now everyone can see it. YOUR HOME STAYS YOURS Every scan and every reading lives only on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account to make, no sign-up, and nothing about your home is ever uploaded. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Lifetime is a single payment. It never renews and never expires. Yearly renews automatically each year unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation of purchase.

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. PRO: FROM MAP TO PLAN Scanning, live coverage, the floor plan, the 3D view, AR walkthroughs and the PDF report are free. Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription, that turns your map into a plan: • Best spot for your router: see whether moving it to the middle of your home would even out coverage. • Where to add a mesh node: the exact spot where the signal is still strong enough to relay into each weak area, floor by floor, including when a floor needs a cable instead. • Before & after: compare two scans of the same home and see what moving the router or adding a node really changed. • Pro PDF report: add your client's name and address, your own name and notes, and the recommended spots on a map. Ready to hand over. Try before you buy: the first placement tip for every scan is free. 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.
