Review summary

Users appreciate the app's user-friendly layout and its utility in comparing carrier coverage for planning purposes. However, a majority report significant inaccuracies in coverage maps, missing or disappearing overlays, and misleading coverage indications. Paid HD maps often do not display as expected, sometimes requiring additional payments. The app lacks detailed signal strength data, showing only basic coverage presence or absence. Some users experience app crashes and need restarts, lowering overall reliability.
Pros
  • Allows comparison of coverage among major carriers.
  • User interface is fairly easy to understand and well laid out.
  • Good for planning trips and deciding on signal boosting equipment.
  • Tech support is responsive and helpful when purchase problems occur.
Cons
  • Coverage maps are often inaccurate or misleading, showing coverage where none exists.
  • Map overlays sometimes disappear or fail to show correctly, requiring toggling or restarting the app.
  • HD maps purchased require additional payments or fail to display properly despite payment.
  • The app provides only binary coverage (service/no service) without signal strength details or real-time user data.
  • App stability issues reported, including freezing and needing phone restart.

This app is pretty good, I found a bug though that when you rotate your screen back and forth, the coverage areas disappear even though the buttons for LTE etc are all checked. You have to check and uncheck the buttons to bring back the map overlays.

This is completely innacurate. I tested our location, knowing that we get zero AT&T signal at our house, and the map shows LTE coverage. We used to have AT&T but switch to Verizon when we moved because we would only get coverage if we used a MicroCell to connect via the internet.

I purchased the so-called "HD" maps, but they are worthless and don't show any coverage gaps. I found a free app from the US Forest service that has cellular overlays that are 100x better than these.

Had no cell coverage where app said I should have LTE coverage at Camp Yale in Oregon. No cell coverage at all. No text, data or audio. This is the first time using the app so will do additional testing and update my rating then.

Completely inaccurate...zero coverage all thru 50miles of area where there should be LTE service at least. Wasted time and money driving to camping spot based on app. Don't waste yours

Very helpful app for determining cellular coverage. It would be more useful if the colors were more differentiated, it can be difficult determine different levels of service on the map.

I paid extra for HD maps, only to find out that I have to pay again once I open the app. While the dollars won't break me, I'm pissed because the don't explain that up front. The maps I get for $6 is no better than what the carriers have on their websites

Does not show speed/bars. It is just a binary overlay (service or no service). For example, there is not enough service to make a call at my current location, but it shows there is coverage.
