User Reviews

WiGLE WiFi Wardriving is a long-standing, educational tool for wardriving and observing nearby WiFi/Bluetooth activity, with a community-driven feel and a helpful UI. However, users report stability issues, login/registration barriers, and privacy/permission concerns that affect reliability and accessibility.

Pros

Long-standing presence with years of usage and reliability (does what it says).
Educational reference for WiFi/Bluetooth activity and EMF levels, useful for learning and experimentation.
Community-driven project with user contributions and collaboration.
Wardriving focus with visibility of surrounding WiFi/Bluetooth devices and networks.
Nice UI/UX and overall user experience.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability across multiple devices and when running in the background.
Login/registration and access problems (blocked emails, login loops, registration failures).
Privacy and permissions concerns (too many permissions, need for persistent background GPS/location access).

Recent reviews

this app was once good but the developer is being pig-headed and doesn't understand that he needs to change the app refuses to everyone should uninstall this app as it's junk now

This app has become bad, because the developer doesn't understand that he needs to add the following permission option "allow GPS all the time". In any case I wish there was another app made by people who knew what they were doing. the app also does not work on Pixel 9A graphene OS the app constantly craps out.
