Features & Capabilities

ScanFi is an advanced Wi-Fi analyzer and mapping tool designed for Android devices. It passively scans wireless networks without connecting to access points, providing comprehensive information like signal strength, SSID, MAC address, and channel usage across both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Users can analyze access points with a 60-second historical graph, view interactive network activity charts, identify open and hidden networks, and measure download speeds.

A standout feature is its integration with OpenStreetMap for creating detailed Wi-Fi signal strength maps. This allows users to visualize network coverage in real-time, making it ideal for troubleshooting, optimizing Wi-Fi placement, and understanding local wireless environments. ScanFi adheres to standard Android permissions and is designed solely for analysis and mapping—not for connecting to Wi-Fi. It is a practical tool for tech enthusiasts, network professionals, and anyone looking to improve their wireless experience using just their smartphone.

User Reviews

Users appreciate ScanFi for its accurate WiFi analysis, ease of use, and helpfulness in troubleshooting signal strength and coverage. However, multiple reviews highlight concerns including the app's lack of updates since 2020, resulting in no support for latest WiFi standards like WiFi 6E, frequent crashes, poor dynamic updates, unclear permission requests causing mistrust, and unavoidable ads. Despite these issues, many find the app functional and useful for mapping WiFi signals indoors.

Pros

Provides useful WiFi analysis and mapping functionality
Accurate and easy to navigate interface
Helpful for troubleshooting WiFi issues
Good representation of WiFi signal strength and access points
Reliable for mapping WiFi signal strength in home or area

Cons

App has not been updated since 2020, lacking support for newer WiFi standards like WiFi 6E
Frequent crashes and stability issues, especially when accessing graphs or walking around
Lacks clarity and transparency on required permissions, causing user mistrust
Does not update WiFi data dynamically while moving and fails to show the connected network
Presence of ads with no option to remove them via paid update

Recent reviews

Gives a nice representation. Doesn't seem to update while I walk around though. Also doesn't show which network in connected to.

this app fails to import images, all permissions have been granted, it can find the image, but fails with a very quick error, and then loads its default plan. I have contacted the author 3 times in the last 2 weeks, it seems he has lost interest in supporting his app.
