User reviews

Signal Spy is highly valued by Google Fi users for enabling easy network switching and detailed signal info. However, multiple reviews highlight recent updates causing failures to use the app offline, bugs leading to crashes or lost features like widgets, and unclear or missing data such as cellular bands. Users also note clunky dialer code handling and increased permission requests. Despite these problems, customer support is praised, and the app remains useful for network monitoring and troubleshooting.

Pros

Very useful for Google Fi users to monitor and switch between multiple networks.
Provides detailed signal and network information including cellular bands and connection status.
Includes data usage monitoring per app over custom periods.
Good customer support that helps resolve account and installation issues.
Has features like network notifications and dialer code integration to assist with network switching.

Cons

Recent updates have introduced a mandatory login or internet connection that hinders usage when no signal is present.
App frequently crashes or is non-responsive on certain devices when accessing specific features like saving settings or data usage.
Missing or malfunctioning features such as widgets and network history logs, with some information showing as 'N/A' or question marks.
Invasive or excessive permissions requested by the app not previously required.
Dialer code input process is clumsy and sometimes buggy, requiring manual pasting and causing issues with Google Assistant on some devices.

They redid this app, which was fantastic for a long time, and it is now USELESS. The primary usage of this app for me was switching networks when I had no signal. Now, when you launch the app, it has to "login" (whatever that means) and if you have no service it fails to login, which means you can't use the app! Why would I need to use the app if I have service???? The only thing it would have to login for is to check to see if you've paid for the app or not, so it's just pure greed from the dev

App used to be great for Fi users, but latest updates have rendered it useless. Now the app refuses to acknowledge Wi-Fi is connected, crashes when trying to save settings, and complains that it can't log on when first starting, even though it shouldn't be trying to log on to anyting. Can't seem to uninstall the updates, so I guess it's time to find a new app.
