About Wifi Collector
This app collects information about wireless networks and their location while you're walking on the streets or driving your car.
For every wireless network, the following information is collected: network name (SSID), MAC address of the access point, company that manufactured the access point, signal level, channel frequency, channel number, security (WEP/WPA/WPA2), WPS support (Yes/No), Date/Time that the network was detected, and the location of the wireless network (Longitude and Latitude) taken from the GPS.
After collecting the wireless networks information, you can export it into csv file, tab-delimited file, HTML file, or .kml file of Google Earth, which allows to view the location of all collected networks on a map of Google Earth.
This app requires a device with both Wifi component and GPS.
Warning !
The usage of both GPS and the wifi component by this app is quite intensive, so while using this app, your battery will be drained much faster than usual. Don't forget to click the Stop button when you want to finish collecting the wifi information.

Great app! But I would love if it was able to collect data when the screen is off.

Useless, only shows the number found, 20, but nothing about them. Exporting to Google maps only shows 3 and has them all at my house!

Tested for first time on route home. Collected and mapped all wifi's on the way. Then exported to Google earth. I've used Nirsoft on PC too. Never disappointed ????.

Perhaps the very best assembly language programmer this earth will ever experience. No bumps in the road with this app either. However, as precise and always clean as your programs are (as well as technically sound), how about adding some additionals. Not sure what but whatever you come up with will only add to your legacy sir. Thanks.

Nir Sofer, the best programmer ever! I owe you alot, Nir. Wish you would continue with Android apps like your Windows versions but I realize Google would tie your hands too much. As for this app, does what it says on the tin, very helpful in certain situations. If this app doesn't work for you, upgrade your piss poor device. If you don't understand why you'd use this app, move along nothing to see here. If you don't like my review, take a long walk on a short pier. Nir Sofer ROCKS!

Ui could be cleaned up a bit. Added features such as viewing locations on map or in list view within app itself would be nice, along with other stats and info/abilities. Saving favorites, etc. But overall good app. Thanks for sharing

It lacks the option of viewing the collected data from within the app, the option is there but it doesn't seem to do anything?

What separates this little great app from the crowd is the versatile 'Export' feature. Thanks for that! If only there was another little great app to turn the exported files into heat maps...

Not as user friendly as another similar app since you cannot see data real time, require exporting, and GPS.

Thank you very much for this excellent app! Please add Google location services support, because GPS is very slow and not always working. Thanks!

It's an ok app, but could be alot better if it could actually be used on my cell phone that has GPS. In other words make it backwards compatible with at least Android 2.3.

Installed this app on my Huawei Y300, I only seem to have 2 buttons, start and export. I click the start and it scans, I then click stop, I then click export, and no matter which export type I choose it comes back with "Failed to exported file", csv, html, tab-delimited file, google earth (.kml) file, therefore nothing for me to actually look at. so completely and utterly useless. Due to the fact you have to put a star down before the submit review works, i would give this 0 stars.
