## Review summary

Users appreciate that the app can refresh and improve Wi-Fi signal strength and provides a visual signal quality indicator. However, many complain about overwhelming ads that hinder usability, inaccurate signal readings, and limited device detection capabilities. Stability issues like crashing and freezing, as well as questionable permission requirements, are also commonly noted. Overall, it offers some benefits but is marred by intrusive ads and unreliable functionality.

### Pros

- Displays Wi-Fi signal strength using a color-coded scale, making it easier to understand signal quality.
- Allows detection and identification of Wi-Fi access points without needing their passwords.
- Can identify connected devices if they have the same app installed, which some users found useful.
- Works as a free tool to boost or refresh Wi-Fi network signals with some reported success.

### Cons

- Excessive and intrusive ads, including loud auto-playing videos, obstruct app usability.
- Inaccurate or unreliable signal strength readings reported by multiple users.
