inSSIDer

I personally don't see what this does compared to free versions. For $10 it would be nice to do a quick export of the information instead of having to take a bunch of screensnapshots. But the desktop version. Is the same way, so I guess I should have known better.

The app seems pretty powerful for a phone app. The one thing it is missing is the max speed of the network. The desktop version of this does show max network speed. My network channel bonding seems to go on and off with every small change I make. I use inssider to ensure my access points are channel bonding.

Very nice upgrade to the free version, but when viewing the 2.4 or 5 gig signal graphs, it often freezes on my S5 and you have to close it out and start it again. Once this is resolved, it will be an awesone 5 star app. However I agree with another poster, it would be nice to be able to export data.

If the app would show the channel width, that would be great. Everything is locked to 20MHz. Contacted support and it appears it is how the WiFi is on the android system. The app shows 20MHz even though it could be 40, 80 or 160MHz

This app was great at a time. Most expensive app I've ever bought, and by shortest lifespan. I regret spending $10 on this vestige.

Great app, except it freezes all the time. Ah! I've bought this and the desktop app. For personal use and own all the other Metageek tools for at work. Really wanted to love this but it consistently freezes (Nexus 7)

Love the app in itself but the freezing issue still has to be resolved. I have had this problem forever but I always assumed it was my phone. Now on a brand new phone i still have this issue. 5 stars once fixed.

Really falling behind some of the free alternatives. Does not detect AP channel width. Does not resolve MAC address to vendor, just to name a few.

I'm still not sure if I have full functionality as described. It hangs in my Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C.

I am a paid user of the desktop version, however, the Android version does not display channel width in the channel graph view. Every SSID shows up as 20MHz in width. This is a problem when trying to determine the appropriate channel in a residential environment, when people are using 20, 40, and even 80MHz wide channels inappropriately. Cannot rely on InSSIDer's data for determining the best channel without accurate channel width views. Other WiFi analysis apps on Android show channel widths accurately.

This Wi-fi scanner is decent, but pretty underwhelming for $10. Oh well, I've gotten a fair amount of use out of their PC application for free so it levels out a bit.

Wish I'd have noticed when I could get a refund. Hopefully the Windows version is worth it.

App crashes a lot on Nexus 6P Also does not have ability to pause auto update/scroll... This makes it almost impossible to select a network in a highly utilized area like an apt complex

Hangs all the time, doesn't report bonded channels at all, nowhere near as useful as the desktop version. Do yourself a favor and just get a tablet that runs Windows and use that, this app is completely useless

It frequently hangs in random situations. Sometimes, it hangs so badly that one needs to do a full reboot. It may be not a total waste of money but it is near that.

I have used the old free desktop/laptop version of inSSIDer in the past. Thought I'd buy the Android version today since I was taking an hour drive. Within 60 seconds of running inSSIDer, the program locks up. If you touch the screen after that, a "program not responding" note pops up offering to close, wait, or file a bug report. Very unhappy customer :( I'm using the NVIDIA Shield Tablet with the Lollipop update installed. UPDATE: I later found Wifi Analyzer as a stable (and free) alternative.

I have used the computer version for years, I bought this tool as a quick way to do sight surveys. It constantly hangs and requires me to restart the application. It would have only gotten 1 star if it were not so darn handy. I really would love a stable version of this application. At which time I will re-review.

I have the old/free version and the new Paid one. The new one is definitely unstable, but more importantly it actually has fewer features than the old one. You can't optimize an network anymore and, despite screenshots to the contrary, things like OverLapping APs is not longer reported. The Group By functionality that is touted does not actually group APs with the same name it just changes whether or not the Graph displays MACs or ESSIDs. The overall UI has taken a step backwards as well. And the real kicker is if you Opt-Out of sending data back to MetaGeek the app gives you a ":(" dialog and locks up. For $10 you would expect a much more solid/feature rich/polished app.

While I love the app and have used it for a while, I bought the PC version which gives a little more in analysis. The nexus 9 release marshmallow broke this and several other network analysis type apps. Problem traced to netgear analytic app. Wiped tablet and reloaded minus analytics everything started working. Loaded two games and insider is broke again. Guess I will be using the pc for work now

I use this a lot for optimizing my wireless environment. It does not support 80mhz channels in AC-mode, although this could also be a limitation of the single-stream chipset in my HTC One.

Use to work well. Now constant freezes on a Tab Pro 8.4 after about a minute every time.

I have used the PC and Android versions Inssider. Once I figured out how to use it(reason for 4 stars), it has helped me fine tune my WiFi net for better performance . Using this app let me measure the effects of moving my range extender to different locations to get the best mix of signal strength between devices on the same channel. This app has proved quite useful and worth the $19.95 for my PC version.

This app is highly useful for both desktop and Android. The information on radios is quite detailed by layman standards. However, what it really needs to do is advise on the BEST channel. What one needs to know is whether to choose a 5 GHz channel with slightly more noise than a 2.4 GHz channel. I rate 4 stars in part because I'm a fan of MetaGeek.

Requires reboot to fix. Feeling gypped. Not as functional as old free version. Test it before posting it folks....

I bought this to be able to export data to channelyzer and desktop inssider. I can do none of this. All the free apps do exactly what this app does and most of them do more.

Its imppossible to use it this way

I have used the inssider apps in the past and have been happy. After dropping 10 bucks on this app you would think it would be great. Total waste of money hangs every few seconds I have to kill the app and restart. Don't waste your money use a free app.

Runs for a few minutes then locks up or exits.

Would be nice to see more frequent updates and new features for my money. Last update July 2014 :( sad

Should include screen shot and logging features

Does its job but locks up every few minutes it runs. Hopefully you don't want to leave it running for long as if you do just kill it and restart, again and again and again.

4 stars because of price

What is new?: FREEZE AND DIE!...

Really amazing and very useful.

I bought this to do some troubleshooting in my very chaotic WiFi environment. The interface is good and gives lots of useful insights. Unfortunately, it hangs my device after about a minute. MetaGeek support indicated they haven't tested the current version for Lollipop and they happily refunded my money since they could not resolve the problem. I'd gladly try again when they push out an upgrade.

Works well with my Galaxy S5. Does a good job of detecting Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. If I could have one feature added though, it would be the ability to create a CSV and/or XML files of what it "sees" for Wi-Fi auditing purposes rather than dragging out my Kali Linux box and using Kismet. As others have pointed out, Wi-Fi Analyzer is a good alternative and you can email yourself the results as a CSV file.

Works just like the PC version. Same look and feel.

I like the app, but compared to the previous versions...it's not worth $10.
