## Review summary

NetMonitor Pro is a powerful and professional network monitoring app favored by RF engineers for its detailed data capture and reliable logging features. Users appreciate frequent updates and developer support. However, recurring concerns include the app's constant GPS permission requirement, missing or inaccurate network metrics on some devices, and limited mapping functionality. Some users find similar free apps offer better map views and features. Overall, it is a comprehensive tool for professionals but could improve user privacy and map features.

### Pros

- Provides comprehensive and detailed mobile network information required by professionals and RF engineers.
- Allows easy recording and saving of network status logs for analysis.
- Developer is responsive and actively updates the app with new features and improvements.
- Includes a detailed widget and creates travel maps showing network data during transit.
- App works well on a variety of devices and does not drain the battery significantly.

### Cons

- Requires location/GPS permission to always be on, which users find intrusive and unnecessary when app is not in use.
- Lacks certain features such as displaying cell towers on the map in paid version, which free alternatives provide.
- Some detailed network metrics like PCI for LTE, 5G frequency bands, bandwidth display, and correct RSSNR values are missing or inaccurate on some devices.
- Mapping features sometimes lack detailed info, have limited map options, and can't upload sessions as a whole but only in segments.
- Limited map options; user requests include OpenStreetMap support and landscape orientation for the app.
