User Reviews

Users praise the widget for being compact, straightforward, and a solid replacement for older widgets, even usable on TVs. However, updates frequently break network listing or details, data can be inaccurate or slow to refresh (hidden/wrong networks), and Android OS/permissions cause compatibility issues. UI quirks (misleading labels, gesture bugs) and a lack of customization (colors, disconnected state, band info) also recur. Overall, reliability varies across devices and OS versions.

Pros

Compact, lightweight widget that displays Wi-Fi information.
Simple, no-frill design that does exactly what is needed.
Works on multiple devices, including TVs.
Solid replacement for older WiFi Manager widget.

Cons

Updates can break network listing and connection details.
Data accuracy and update latency issues (hidden SSIDs, wrong networks, or saved networks shown instead of the active one).
Android OS/version fragmentation and permission requirements (location access; issues across Android 9–12).
UI/UX glitches (shows 'Network Available' when Wi-Fi is off; gesture/navigation issues on some devices).
Lack of customization and missing features (no color options; missing disconnected state; no band information).

Latest Update (6.2 102) has broken it. Will now not show details of connection any more. Just a note that location is turned off on the device. It isn't. Has been an excellent app - now useless until it is fixed. REPLY TO DEVELOPER Location is turned on already. Reinstalled the previous version (6.1) and it works fine. The problem is only with the latest version .
