About this app
Are you living or working in a low signal area ?
Are you sure that your internet is connected ?
Is your 5G connection actually connected to 5G?
Then this is the app for you. With this app you can get a good idea of the Cellular and WiFi signal strength and find out which corners of your office or home are having the best reception.
What this app gives you:-
General User
• Signal meter 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi
• Signal Charts including logger
• Connectivity check
• Speed test
• WiFi scan
• Home screen signal widgets including signal, connectivity/latency, network, battery, clock and storage (Pro feature)
• Signal notification in status bar (Pro feature)
Advanced User
• RF dBm, Channel, bandwidth, linkspeed, frequency
• Network stats
• Cell towers
• Latency
• Out of service, low signal and roaming alerts.
Permissions
The app uses these sensitive permissions only for the purpose of displaying the signal information.
• Phone permissions. This permission is essentially required for accessing and diplaying SIM, network and phone state.
• Location permission. The app does not use location data. However app requires to display cellular and wifi signal details which are protected by precise location permission.
• Background location access. Signal Widgets, notifications, log and alerts are a core feature of this app which need to work in the background and respond while the app is not in use. For correct operation of these features in addition to location permission, app will also need background location permission.
Pro Features(Inapp Purchase)
• AdFree
• Signal widgets (5 types)
• Connectivity widget (1 type)
• Signal Notification in status bar
Important
• A very few phones are not following the signal reporting standard fully especially 5G/dual SIM related. Consider sending a debug report by email from app menu to incorporate workarounds.

Numeric and graphical red-yellow-blue readouts of signal strength of wifi and cellphone. Color indicators are accurate for my phone. If you suspect the signal is weak, good to open the app for confirmation, then walk around to find where's a spot where the signal is strongest. Also a Latency indicator, reads in milliseconds or Fast/Ok/Slow, since the quality of the WiFi access-point's connection to the internet can be troubled, even though it's providing a strong signal to your phone. Lots more.

Nice simple clean layout, it looked good for a second. Ads we're small and non-obtrusive at the bottom of the screen. It shows the signal in asu, not dbm. However, I sat here for a minute watching it and thinking about it, and it popped up a full page ad in my web browser. Oh heck no. I am okay with ad supported, I am not okay with ads taking over my computer. Thank you for removing full screen ads, the updates look good.

Very basic WiFi/cell signal strength (not enough to be useful, though), the ads are REALLY distracting, and there's no way to close the app except via force-kill. There are other free apps with ads that aren't so obtrusive and far better common information. The app does passable job at reporting your cell connection strength, but it was pretty useless for WiFi. (Other apps offer basic information, often with drill-down ability to obtain advanced details; this app lacks both or it was not obvious to find and, in either case, it's not clearly available at all.) I was going to give this app 3 stars instead of 4 since it had a repeating obnoxious animated ad covering the bottom of the screen with no way to hide it, and it was REALLY distracting. But when I tried to close the app, it failed to do so, instead changing to a full-screen advertisement with the only option to purchase something. DING! Instant 1-star rating.

I like the information it provides and I appreciate how it simplifies the information on signals with easy to understand words, like Slow, OK, and Fast. As for the ads, their not intrusive as long as you stick to the Signal menu and Net menu which is all I ever use from the app. Outside of those pages, you'll likely run into those awful full page ads.

Very nice app. Very nice display, informs at one glance. A tap on the graduation-cap icon in the upper right gives you actual strength in dB for either Wi-Fi or 3G. (Are other frequencies -2G, 4G, 5G- available? If so, it's not obvious.) Ads are not overly intrusive, but I'm going to buy the no-ad version if I can find it.

The app is actually really cool. I've been interested in signal strength and how network signals work. I've been using this app along with my other tools to test signal around areas, including places with signal jammers. it would be cool if you added a feature where you can not only check wifi interference but also cellular network. if I literally had to rate this, I'd give it a 7.5/10.
