WiFi Advisor

The app doesn’t work standalone. You need to have other scanners purchased and register with the app.

As others have said, don’t bother.

Don’t bother

I ended up buying two of the hardware units (together they can do a lot more measurements then with only one hardware analyzer). The combination of both this iOS app when coupled with the hardware is a killer combination. The criticisms of the hardware are that it only works up to the 802.11ac standard and NOT the newer 802.11ax standard. However, if you have the hardware, it is a superb Wi-Fi measurement system. The negative feedback is from people whom don’t read the documentation and whom expect a true Wi-Fi analyzer but for 100% free. Sorry, but the age old saying is true, i.e., “...you get what you pay for...”. It is totally unfair to download a free app like this without reading up on it first to see if any hardware is required to make it work and then after they discover this they leave negative feedback since they desired something like this for free. As another age old saying goes: “...you can’t fix stupid...” I strongly recommend others disregard negative feedback comments on this app based on such baseless feedback. By the way, I also own. Metageek Wi-Fi analyzer too (another great Wi-Fi analyzer).

Hasn’t been updated in years. Probably not what you’re looking for in the first place doesn’t matter either way you need to pay more and register etc etc etc. Unless you know you need this it’s a wasted download and even then it barely still works.

An app which used the built in WiFi adapter to collect SSIDs, channels, and signal strengths, would be worth paying for. An app which was last updated 3 years ago and rests on its laurels while expecting you to buy expensive hardware, is asking a bit much of credulous buyers. If I’m going to buy hardware to permit my iPad to collect detailed WiFi information, I’ll buy from Metageek, who update their software more frequently. I already own a WiSpy for Mac/PC, and am satisfied with it. If I really need the same for the iPad, I’ll buy their hardware. It’s cheaper, too.

Not obvious from the description but this app requires you to have additional hardware before it will do anything.

This app does not do what it claims

This app works EXACTLY as advertised, which means it WILL NOT work without the hardware it is designed to work with. I’m using it in a security environment to troubleshoot problems with customer WiFi setups and it has already proved invaluable. Don’t believe any of the reviews that say it doesn’t work.

Don’t bother installing as it cannot do anything...
