WiFi Scanner App Reviews

Looking for a tool to check my router wifi signals in my network and those around me - this works great.

I can see so many 0 strength signals but they are not. Please fix to show the right strength like before.

My current version is 1.2 But the site has a new version. I can not update it via the App Store!!!

Very nice and useful program. I have 8 wifi networks close to me and with this program I’ve choosed right for me wifi channel.

After last update scaner doesn’t work. It shows only connected ssid. Scan is in process but no ssid is detected. Built-in MacOS wi-fi adapter detects more than 10 ssid. MacBook pro 13 retina MacOSX Yosemite 10.10.3. 5 stars for app (was) 1 star for last update. Please repair

The program always After the opening few seconds in an emergency and Close sudden say I have a problem ??? The application was terminated unexpectedly Always the application does not work so what is the problem???

Been using this tool for years and have no complaints! If you are having any issues with the app crashing, make sure you have latest OSX patches installed. I had a crashing issue, and resolved it by updating OSX.

Nice to see surrounding wi-fi signals that interfere and take advantage of the vulnerable out there in the hinterland.

Version 2.5 removed the channel info. Now, it just shows 2.4GHz or 5GHz in the channel column. Most of what I use this app for is finding a clear channel for access points, so it’s become a lot less useful. I’m assuming this is a bug and will be resolved.

Thanks for prompt support response, AccessAgility ! I have just purchased WiFiScanner. It is just what I need for my troubleshooting and, first impression, looks good with convenient UI for doing it. Folks, channel information for both 2.4 and 5 GHz is provided in WiFiScanner in my (just purchased) v2.5. Review of Sep 03 ’14 is wrong - probably user misunderstanding of the tool.

Created a folder to save the data, and nothing exports to that folder. It’s empty. No exports and no reports. I didn’t see anything about this being demo software when I bought it with no save or export features. They are there, they just don’t work.

Signal graphs do show the channel, but it would be helpful if that was in the main summary table by default. Additionally, checking the 5GHz tables makes things a little tough since the graphs are relatively small and tend to overlap (a white background would help a bit, but still, the network names overlap). WOuld like the names to have hover labels to make it easier to see what the info is, as well as the ability to see just one portion of the graph at a time (it would work on a big screen, but a laptop is 99% going to be the machine of choice for this). But all in all a good useful tool. Well worth the cost.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this app!! It lets me see all of the other networks in my area, so that I can then tweak my wifi to the exact specs so that my home network is working in the best possible set-up. The app is fast, reliable, and just plain GREAT!! I would recommend this app to ANYONE who needs to “SEE” surrounding wifi networks, and to configure your own to operate at its peak !! Highly recomend this app.

Honestly, this is one of the most useful things I have ever downloaded! Not only does it show all wi-fi routers/networks in your immediate area, you get SSIDs and MAC Addresses of those devices. It shows what GHz band said networks broadcast on, and what b/g/n mode they use. Its graphical displays/charts are amazingly handy and easy to understand, even if youre of a less-technical ilk. So far, Ive been using this app to help not only my personal network, but my girlfriends network get up and RUNNING! So long as you know how to change the settings on your own router, you can use the information this app collects to work around all that interference that may be causing your wi-fi to be dragging! Simply: its amazing. Thank you, AccessAgility! Thank you, iTunes!

Love the app, use it often!!! Great to find out what channel to use to avoid interference as well as find the SNR for the best place to place the router. I cannot thank the developer(s) who worked so hard to bring us a truly excellent piece of work!

Does exactly what I need it for. Works very well. Highly recommend to other people who have a need (or want) for qualitative and quantitative network analysis, home or otherwise. Just downloaded and tested the newest update - the Speed Test feature was a wonderful addition, brought my opinion of this app from a strong 4.5/5.0 before, to a 5.0/5.0.

Sometimes it’s almost impossible to understand what is happening with Wi-Fi. How strong is my signal? Is my access point really transmitting on 5GHz and 2GHz like it’s supposed to? How strong is my signal? Are my neighbors all stomping on my signal? How fast is my access point really? It’s impossible to get this information right from my access point. This program shows it all in an easy to understand format. Whenever I have any questions about what is happening with my Wi-Fi, this app is invaluable. Highly recommended.

This is a very useful app. It really helps in evaluating wifi performance and problems, speed test is great. Thanks for a well done product.

Finaly something functional, fast and useful for Wi-Fi signal spectrum testing. Thank you.

Very nice scanner useful, clean and functional and it really shows how much my Airport Extreme kicks all the others routers butts around me :)
