Review summary

WiFi Solver FDTD is valued for its effective WiFi simulation capabilities that help users optimize router placement and reduce costs. However, it requires external tools for floor plan creation, lacks multi-AP and 5GHz support, and suffers from poor user guidance, making it challenging for some users to operate. Improvements in user-friendliness, built-in layout features, and expanded simulation options would enhance its appeal.

Pros

The app helps simulate WiFi coverage and placement, saving users time and money by avoiding unnecessary equipment purchases.
It has effective mathematical modeling behind its simulations, making it valuable for precise WiFi planning.
Users appreciate the ability to experiment with WiFi points and antenna placement virtually before actual setup.
The app is useful for visualizing the impact of different WiFi router placements within a floor plan.
It supports simulation features that can help optimize WiFi efficiency and coverage in a given environment.

Cons

The app requires users to create and import floor plans, but does not provide built-in tools for drawing or coloring these plans, causing confusion.
Limited support for multiple WiFi access points or antennas; users want options to add multiple routers and antenna counts.
Lack of support for 5GHz WiFi frequency band and other advanced features like multiple floors or special materials such as metal in walls.
Poor user instructions and onboarding; many users find the app complex, confusing, or not user-friendly without sufficient guidance.
Technical issues such as difficulties starting the app and no scale adjustment options were noted, impacting usability.
