Extremely useful for diagnosing Wifi issues

By jbbarnes (Pcmac user)

This app does a great job of showing all the APs near you, along with a great deal of information about each one. It graphs out signals on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The interface can start off pretty cluttered with tons of SSIDs, but a little tweaking will eliminate the clutter and help you see exactly what is on each channel. A great inSSIDer alternative.
was able to use

By 1234Mike4321000000 (Pcmac user)

there seems to be some bugs in it. I was able to get done what I needed but it certainly wasn't clear when usinig this app. When I tried to contact the company, it would not accept my email, it is what I have been using for awhile.
More Comprehensive, Yet Easier to Use Than Wireless Diagnostics

By iPhoneAddict72 (Pcmac user)

I had been using Apple's Wireless Diagnostics program on my laptop and was looking for more information to solve a the app drop problem. I already knew that there are a lot of users in my neighborhood on the 2.4GHz frequency clogging up channels 1-11. But even though I am on my own channel on the 5GHz frequency, I am still losing connection. Although I still haven't figured out what's causing the dropouts, this app gave me the assurance that I am on the right track. It is so easy to use that instantly I was able to see graphically that I had the strongest signal in the neighborhood. I like the way each the app network is color coded. And the ability to view or not view users allows you to compare individual networks or see all of them on the same frequency. The columns can be sorted ascending or descending, so sorting the Last Seen column will cluster the network traffic by time. The Signal Rank tab ranks the networks from strongest to weakest. If you want to graphically see how the individual networks are clustered on each of the channels, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz tabs can show you just how busy your neighborhood really is (or isn't if you are lucky). The developer also has a PDF user manual on their website. Highly recommend!
Glad I bought this back when it was $0.99

By Jordan Brock (Pcmac user)

It was a little rough back then, and had some crashing issues on 10.6 and 10.7, but MANY updates have come out since then and each one offers great improvements. I have had no crashes whatsoever in the last few version updates (Running OSX 10.7.3). Love the new color scheme and charts that were added, also the dedicated "Join" button for each network found works like a charm. I'm frequently on a college campus plagued by over-use of certain access points, while others are left open and clear (they have been running a really out of date version of Aruba OS for the the app system for some time now). This gives me the ability to easily select another access point when the one I'm closest to gets too crowded. $0.99 was a killer deal for this, but $3.99 still not bad for a great this app which is obviously under constant development and improvement.
