## Review summary

Users generally praise ease of use and coverage visualization, but repeatedly criticize pricing, limited iOS functionality, lack of true heat-map capabilities, and data-export issues. The app is viewed as a basic visualizer with helpful insights for placement, but many feel the value is undermined by paywalls and incomplete features compared with desktop versions.

### Pros

- Easy to use and beginner-friendly interface.
- Visually shows WiFi coverage with clear dead zones and hotspots.
- Helpful for locating weak spots and optimizing router placement.
- Includes basic speed testing with speed history/record keeping.
- Straightforward testing that helps identify interference from neighbors.

### Cons

- Pricing and paywall: free features are limited and full functionality costs a lot, with claims of a desktop app requirement.
- Heat maps are not real heat maps; mainly a speed test and lack signal-strength or RF band mapping.
- On iOS, features are extremely limited; cannot see other networks or perform full analysis.
- Data portability issues: exports images instead of project files, making it hard to move data to a computer.
- Reliability/performance concerns: reported inaccurate speeds, failed scans, and occasional stuttering.
