WiFi Scanner App Reviews

This is the best App I have found if you want to see what’s on your network, and be able to collect WiFi signal and speed data. I have four active channels (primary router and a second AP, both working at 2.4 and 5GHz). I can look at all four simultaneously regardless to which I am connected. It would be nice if the ability to collect data for my wired ethernet connections were added in a future update.

I love all the options this app has!

Basically this app will answer any question you may have about Wi-Fi connections. If anything, the amount of information presented can be a bit overwhelming, but you will no longer have to wonder which of the available Wi-Fi services will give you the best performance.

I live in an appartment complex so there are a ton of WiFi routers around me. This app makes it wasy to find the few open windows where there is the least congestion by letting me see where all of my neighbors are broadcasting.

I had to look for a few ideas on how best to use it. But once you see it’s ability, well worth the tools.

This is turning into a really super app. It has been very useful for a long time but as they improve it just keeps getting better and better. Its my go to app for info on wireless. The ability to understand S/N from all the available wireless signals and now the speed test make it a must have app for me.

I’m no networking expert, but the app is helpful and informative.

Works as expected. ;)

Works just the way it shows in the App Store. Simple and easy to use, lots of information. Easy to find a wireless channel that is least used for best wireless connectivity and speed.

I find this app incredibly useful for scanning wi-fi channels to see which ones are being in my immediate area. Then I just select a channel for my wi-fi router (a channel that has minimal traffic) and get the best possible signal because it has the least noise…..

Great visualization, especially for helping to discover how to configure the channels for my APs. It would be nice to have additional documentation of how to set up custom speed test servers.

Gives you a lot of information and controll missing in the native OSX wifi controls. Super useful.

Very helpful. I quit worrying about whether Comcast is giving me the data flow they say they are. I find the best wifi connection at a hotel. I see what the trend of frequency and band use is in the neighborhood. Zero to complain about.

This is a great app for troublshooting. It continues to add very good features and the user interface is very good. It allows you to select the access point you want to connect to when there are multiples using the same SSID

This gives you similar functionality to InSSIDer at a lower cost. I find this just as useful and in some ways more useful. This type of app is something everyone should use to diagnose wifi issues and find the clearest channels for reduced interfererence. This one does a good job.

The ability to plot all the nearby networks by itself makes this app worth it. The interface is clean and easy to understand. But in the current version, running under 10.10.2 on a 27” iMac, I found three bugs. The Channel column did not appear until I opened the preferences (where it was enabled), disabled it, and then re-enabled it again. When I changed the 5 GHz channel on my access point, the correct channel was reflected in the channel column (48), but not in the visual signal strength display, where it was still drawn as if it was 149. And the Speed Test, when clicked, drew its download icon for about a quarter of a second, and then stopped, with no obvious indication of what had gone wrong. Still, it’s recommended because the basic functionality is so useful and so well done.

Great diagnostic tool. Colorful and meaningful displays Best I’ve seen.

It gives me useful wireless data about my networks and those in the area. This is a great down and dirty, get to the point, simple wifi diagnostic tool.

I used this to help trouble shoot WiFi at home. It’s amazing how many WiFi spots you an see in your neighborhood. I used this to help move my WiFi channels away from my neighbors to minimize interference and improve signal quality. Definitely worth it, an essential tool to have. I would love to have a copy on my iPad of mobile troubleshooting.

After trying many other scanners, this one stands alone. I highly recommend it.
