User Reviews

Users frequently criticize Cell Tower Radar for showing very limited tower data, sometimes only one or two towers, and often failing to display tower locations accurately or at all. Common issues include the app getting stuck while loading and a disruptive zoom reset bug. However, some users find it useful for identifying the single tower they are connected to, appreciate the clean map interface, and note the developer's responsiveness to feedback. Overall, the app is seen as unreliable and not comprehensive for locating multiple nearby towers.

Pros

The app correctly shows the cell tower the user is connected to in some cases.
The app has a clean and simple user interface with a map view.
It locates cell phone towers fairly easily when it works.
The developer responds to comments and feedback as noted by a user.

Cons

The app often only shows one or two towers even when more are nearby.
Many users report that it doesn't display tower locations properly or at all.
The app frequently gets stuck on 'loading cell info' and is considered unreliable.
There is a issue with the zoom functionality resetting frequently, making detailed viewing difficult.
The tower locations sometimes appear in incorrect places, such as in the middle of a river.
