NetSpot WLAN Analyzer

Use kali Linux everything else is inferior.

after installing it i was informed i need to but another app just to use the features it listed. got a canned response. with no offer to refund anything. AGAIN. DECEPTIVE business

I purchased this app because it came up first when I searched for “How to find info about hidden networks on home WiFi”. Well after purchasing, this app does not pick up any info or that there is a hidden network present, but go to available networks and the hidden network is there! Just like every other app in the store! Does nothing it’s suppose to do! It’s false advertising and theft by deception!

I was hoping this app would help me easily map my wifi strength in each room. It requires a survey or some sort of aerial photo so I found one. But then it asks you to stand for 30 seconds in each 5x5 square section of the house while it calculates the speed. Why this can’t do it real time with gps is beyond me.

Only does upload and download everything else you need desktop app. Should be pulled from store or updated correctly.

I bought the app and wanted to use it for heat mapping a friends Airbnb. We drove an hour to the place and didn’t bring an architect’s map so we couldn’t use the app. Here is a thought - use the camera to create the map. Then use the software to heat map it. But as it is, I have wasted time, gas and money for a useless app! If I could give negative stars, I would.

The heat map requires a schematic of your facility. Then every few feet you need to test the signal. A regular size house could take hours. If the app just showed detailed WiFi signal strength it might be worth the money. It will test internet speed and do ping tests easily but I bought it to measure WiFi. Wasn’t worth it.

Exactly what I needed to maximize location of router

I’ve been an IT professional for many years and while I understand that there are different language choices, by site survey I was expecting the app to give me information about other Wi-Fi connections in the area. The explanation in the App Store is ambiguous at best and apparently, despite the use of the term “site survey” in the description, and on the graphics, There is no such feature as I interpreted it. I tried to find more information on the developer website, but when I do a search for something, the results read more like marketing language, and do not give any detailed information, that I can find, that is helpful in anyway. But oh well for me because I already paid for it and it is not eligible for a refund. It’s useless for my purposes without being able to survey the site for other Wi-Fi networks including, but not necessarily limited to, channels being used.

Thank you!! Exactly what I needed to find dead spots
