## Description

Network Signal Info Pro is a comprehensive app that provides detailed insights into your current network connections, whether WiFi (WLAN) or cellular mobile networks. It features a unique 14-bar signal strength visualization, far more detailed than the typical 3-5 bars, offering precise and easy-to-understand signal quality feedback. 

The Pro version enhances user experience by removing ads, including a vast cell tower database with over 80 million entries, and adding functionalities like a Mobile Signal Tracker that generates KML files compatible with Google Earth. Users also benefit from various widget sizes and styles for quick signal monitoring, a mobile signal lost service, and a CSV logging function for signal strength data export and analysis. Additional network details such as operator info, device IDs, IP addresses, and more are accessible, making it an invaluable tool for Android users seeking in-depth network diagnostics.

## Review summary

Users value Network Signal Info Pro for rich network data and its long-standing track record, and many praise the widget feature. However, widget instability, limited device support, poor developer response, and perceived lack of maintenance undermine reliability. When widgets work, the app is highly useful; otherwise, reviews describe a frustrating and inconsistent experience.

### Pros

- Provides comprehensive network information for WiFi, cellular signal, and related data, helping users understand and optimize connections.
- Longstanding app with years of use; many users view it as the go-to tool for network status and diagnostics.
- Widget support is a major feature that users want on their home screens for quick access to network information.
- Helpful for off-grid or weak-signal locations where monitoring signal strength matters.
- Pro version and related tools (e.g., WiFi Overview 360 Pro) are valued and considered worth the investment by some users.

### Cons

- Widgets frequently fail or are unusable, with setup/freezing issues and widgets not displaying or disappearing.
- Poor or unresponsive developer support, including unanswered emails and reports of no refunds.
- Limited device compatibility and feature gaps (e.g., lack of dual-SIM support and issues on certain devices like Galaxy/Esim setups).
- Perceived lack of updates or maintenance, including outdated cell databases and widgets not being addressed in newer releases.
