ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AirScout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Analyzer has 271 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of AirScout's written reviews are positive against 68% of Network Analyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AirScout ships an update every 4 months, Network Analyzer every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
