User Reviews

CellMapper is praised when functioning for its useful network data (signal strength, tower distance, bands) and for its educational value, plus support for user-contributed data. However, it frequently fails to load maps or display towers, regresses in some regions, is unavailable in certain locales, and users face captchas and confusing UI with heavy permission prompts.

Pros

Displays signal strength, distance to cell towers, and band information.
Educational value about cellular networks.
Allows user-contributed data to improve tower mapping.
Generally well-regarded and useful when it works.

Cons

Map often empty or towers not displayed.
App reliability issues and regressions; not working in many regions.
Regional availability restrictions (Australia, UK, other regions).
Too many requests and captchas causing friction.
Confusing UI and excessive permission prompts.

Recent reviews

This Apps they put a lot of conditions, need to to take full control of your phone, if not they don't allow you to use their apps ask permisions for: all the time location, phone calls...? (for what?), notification, need account, running always in background,...for what you need all of these? Uninstalled direct!!!

Functionally it's very good. But the UI makes it unpleasant to use. The whole register and login process is not clear. And the app login is at the bottom of the screen where it is blocked by the phone keyboard. The biggest issue is that it doesn't play nice with VPNs. That's why the captchas are so horrendous. If I turn off my VPN the issue goes away. Also, I have only seen a banner ad at the bottom and it was not obtrusive at all.
