✓ MisleadingThis app is useless without the device to be plugged in USB(?) Seriously, don’t bother with this useless app..Version: 1.2
✓ WorthlessThis app sounds good until you find you that you have to buy the $649 wipry dongle to make it work..Version: 1.0
✓ Load of Sh*#Free app that tells you to buy a device soon as you open it. Doesn’t work without and no mention of it in description. Avoid and don’t waste you’re time on this trash.Version: 1.0
✓ Free app and not possible to do anything unless purchaseStay away from this app. Free app and not possible to do anything at all unless purchase is made!.Version: 1.0
✓ RidiculousFree download. Then you have to pay to even use the app. It’s not even a limited use it just doesn’t allow you to do any thing. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.Version: 1.0
✓ Non Functional without 3rd Party PurchaseApp doesn’t function, it only provides a button for making a purchase outside the App Store..Version: 1.0
✓ UselessSame as other comments, can’t do anything without a purchase.Version: 1.0
✓ Terrible AppI read the other reviews but figured the app would have functionality of some sort without the 649$ appliance. I was totally wrong. It prompts you to connect to it on app open, and the only thing you can do if you don’t, is a simple speed test. Do not bother with this app..Version: 1.2
✓ Does NothingDownloaded and opened the app to be see a screen of some photo of a black box. Useless. Don’t bother..Version: 1.2
✓ UselessApparently needs a hardware device ... links to an external website ........Version: 1.0
✓ Worthless without expensive hardware.You have to buy their third party hardware to make this work, which gets expensive..Version: 1.0
✓ It’s a scamTotally useless.Version: 1.2
✓ Buy a USB device for an iPhone to use app!? BSUSB doesn’t work on most iPhones - the language on this app shows that this is probably a scam. DON’T DOWNLOAD- remove app if you did!.Version: 1.2
✓ Complete waste of timeYou need to purchase add ons in order to check you WiFi connection.Version: 1.0
✓ Download, install and then go get another app?Yeah, don’t promote something as a free app and then one needs to instal another program on a laptop, then hook up with a USB. Just why have the app in the first place? Pass..Version: 1.2
✓ FalseNo diagnostics. Don’t download this..Version: 1.2
✓ Not what it advertises!False advertising! I was looking for a simple WiFi signal strength meter. This app shows that’s what it is. NOPE! This app is the instruction manual on how to plug in your device with an ethernet cable and says that without it all you can do is a simple speed test. I can get that in any browser. Don’t waste your time with this app!.Version: 1.2
✓ Sells under false pretences. Avoid.Netspot is a great desktop device. However, to use the iOS version you have to connect to a desktop app called Wipry2500, which costs $649. Yes, you read it right. Ridiculous. Deleted immediately. The thing that gets me was the perceived dishonesty. They could have been upfront about this. Such a shame as they have a nice little desktop app with Netspot..Version: 1.2
✓ Waste of timeNeed to plug-in USB something to work? Stone Age app..Version: 1.2
✓ UselessI can’t even use it.Version: 1.2
✓ Have to buy something for thisDoes not work without wispry.Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t bother with this app!Don’t bother downloading, installing this App. It does absolutely nothing without purchasing some other product. What a scammer this developer is!.Version: 1.0
✓ RubbishDoes nothing!.Version: 1.2
✓ Complete SCAMYou should be ashamed. Remove this app from the app store.Version: 1.2
✓ Garbage. Should be removed from App Store.Requires you to purchase another app to even use this app..Version: 1.0
✓ MisleadingSays it does NOT need extra hardware, next line says it does. Avoid.Version: 1.2
✓ This is a wifi speed test appThat’s all it is. If you want to run any sort of analysis you need to buy a $600 external hardware and connect it to your phone to run the diagnostics. Completely useless without it..Version: 1.2
✓ Doesn’t work.Doesn’t work, junk..Version: 1.2
✓ Requires expensive hardwareUnless you just want to run a quick speed test, all other functionality of the app requires purchasing a 649.97 hardware device that needs to be plugged into your phone..Version: 1.2
✓ No instructions; can’t get to workFirst, there are no instructions. If you’re going to have an app the functions on intuitive steps, the steps need to be intuitive. I set up a project, imported a map, defined distance and took the first reading. Then moved to a second point. The locator moved automatically and I got a 2nd reading. But when I moved to a third point, the indicator did not follow. “Scan” was non-functional. I manually moved the map so the new point (why did I have to do that and not for the 2nd point?). Still no functional scan. After multiple tries, finally a message appeared saying no signal. But I did have a signal (both WiFi and cellular). Tried all this again. Same result. No idea what to do. Gave up…..Version: 3.0.106
✓ Absolute junkClaims you don’t need hardware to use it, but the second you install it, it tell you that you need additional hardware! The speed test that you can use without extra hardware is poor: there are far better alternatives which don’t mess your phone up and which are more accurate. This is a classic example of junk-ware: it lies to you to get you to install it; it doesn’t do what it claims it will do and when you want to delete it, you can’t rid of the thing. The icon disappeared from my desktop and I can’t delete this awful piece of junk-ware now!.Version: 1.2
✓ No offer what they showThey show some functionality on displays but they don’t tell us that requiere an external device, there are others apps that do that without an external devices and are free..Version: 1.2
✓ Do not waste your timeAbsolute trash. They use their own server and DNS. TOTALLY INACCURATE. App said I was getting 125 Mbps download, turned around and used the Speedtest App and got 650 Mbps and I’m getting 916Mbps at my modem. Wasted an hour and a half doing 50 points through out my 2000 sq/ft house..Version: 3.0.113
✓ Won’t work without expensive hardwareDon’t waste your time, this is basically click bait. The app won’t work without the required hardware..Version: 1.2
✓ Needs additional hardware to workTotally rubbish download. Will only do a speedtest without additional hardware. Can’t believe this is still available of AppStore??.Version: 1.2
✓ Rubbish. Beware of the hype.All it does is a speed test which ookla does easily..Version: 1.2
✓ Waste of a download- don’t do itIf you don’t have the equipment, all you can do is a speed test. Literally, this app is only useful if you’ve got the required equipment..Version: 1.2
✓ Absolute Junk!Couldn’t get past the Home Screen asking me to connect a piece of third party equipment. Useless and totally misleading..Version: 1.2
✓ Con!! Zero stars!!!!Free app that doesn’t mention in-app purchases are required to even run the app!!! As soon as you open it it tells you that you need to buy another app to even use any features!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Waste of time.This is just a speed test to upsell you on something much more expensive..Version: 1.2
✓ SketchyI opened the app to a minimal developer opening screen and that was it.........literally. Not sure if this was some sort of joke, an app in a development phase, or something harmful; I deleted to be safe. If any responsible rep from Apple is reading this, please check it out. Thanks.Version: 1.2
✓ Not free at all.It advertised as a free app but it’s not. You don’t get anything free and have to pay as soon as you open the app. Con.Version: 1.0
✓ Why???It's times like these that I regret moving to IOS when a similar app does not require a secondary device to work..Version: 1.2
✓ Horrible! Just 1 function testing speed which you can do on GoogleDon't waste your time with this app!.Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t bother…What a waste of time. Requires additional items to work so not what it says on the tin. Annoying as hell!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ This is a scamAsked for location, I declined and app wouldn’t open or work says no connection.Version: 1.2
✓ Not free!Read reviews! This won’t work unless you buy another app! Better to buy Apple Airport utility and enable Wi-fi scan in settings!.Version: 1.0
✓ Nothing works, waste of timeNothing works, waste of time.Version: 1.0
✓ Very bad, terrible, uselessAfter using the excellent macOS version, I am very disappointed with this iOS version. This is not at all what I expected. I can’t do anything with this app: no signal strength measurement, nothing..Version: 1.2
✓ Useless unless you buy an external deviceComplete waste of time to check Wi-fi signal strength.Version: 1.0
✓ Worked years ago now it’s uselessYears ago it worked wonderfully, scanned wifi channels, etc, now it’s a sad empty useless hull of what it once was..Version: 1.2
✓ Still wants an OsciumDownloaded it for a WiFi analyzer. Got the message about the WiPry, and the only other button led to an internet speed test, which I don’t need. Deleted immediately..Version: 1.2
✓ PointlessDoesn’t work. At all. Why is this even on the App Store??.Version: 1.2
✓ Doesn’t workNo diagnostic tools, don’t waste your time.Version: 1.2
✓ ContradictoryThe description says you don't need other software and that you do need other software..Version: 1.2
✓ Location Information?Why do any non-GPS applications need my location information? As soon as any app requests this it gets deleted...fat spotty developers need to get a grip!.Version: 1.2
✓ AwfulHorrendous - only works if you buy something else first - very misleading.Version: 1.0
✓ RubbishIf I could give it 0 stars I would have! Did absolutely nothing but try to make me buy from the outset! Absolutely disgusting tactics!.Version: 1.0
✓ Seriously?I saw on the app notes that the desktop connection was not required. But the app indicates otherwise when loaded. How is this even allowed in the App Store?.Version: 1.2
✓ Why?!I download an app to use on my phone. I don’t download an app so it makes me plug my phone to a usb to a computer. Why would I need to attach usb to test Wi-Fi?.Version: 1.2
✓ UselessAs other reviews point out, the app relies on additional hardware..Version: 1.2
✓ GarbageWhat a stupid app. I downloaded because they released an update that said didn’t require wipry, but all that doesn’t require it is the speed test which isn’t why I downloaded the app in the first place. I wanted it to do what the netspot desktop app does. Secondly to use wipry with the phone you have to attach it via usb dongle which completely defeats the purpose of having an app. Huge fail all the way around. Someone wasted a ton of money developing this..Version: 1.2
✓ Disingenuous - requires a $1K Spectrum AnalyzerIt is not really their fault. The App Store blocks wifi site survey apps, and has since 2010. They should point out in the description that a $1000 spectrum analyzer device is needed to do a site survey..Version: 1.0
✓ UselessImitates Speedtest.net for 2 seconds and done. No info, no other menu, you’re stuck with an ad… it’s terrible.Version: 1.2
✓ Only speed test works without purchase of extra hardware (some £750 ish)Needs expensive extra hardware.Version: 1.2
✓ No price indicated.My app store button only showed a “Get” and I was charged $10 for something that doesn’t offer any diagnostics. I’m upset that I’ll have to call to attempt a reversal of charges. What an awful app..Version: 1.2
✓ Nothing like the macOS version of the same nameI was hoping that this was going to be a mobile version of the usable macOS app of the same name and stable, but alas that is not case, so no choice but to uninstall - a shame..Version: 1.2
✓ Not what it looks likeI downloaded the app and opened it up and it’s nothing like it says in the App Store. It’s just a test! I’d take away the 1 star if I could..Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t getThey don’t even give you any features to use at all would not recommend they force you to try to pay.Version: 1.0
✓ Pointless app, don’t downloadIt requires a hardware purchase, but the market it as “free”. Should anyone buy network security hardware from a company that tries to scam you before you even download the app?.Version: 1.2
✓ PoorSame comments as another user, very poor app.Version: 1.2
✓ Waste of timeRemoved within 5 minutes….Version: 1.2
✓ Disgrace— this developer! Who approved this s***?What’s this app? Doesn’t do anything. Has a link for screen test and just took my location to do nothing!.Version: 1.2
✓ What a jokeWhat for this app?? Just bundle 2 others apps and whatever you do it doesn’t let you to use Wifi Analyser..Version: 1.2
✓ Requires additional, paid software for functionalityOnce down loaded, App does not work and only provides The following message: according to The AppStore limitations, in order to be able to receive information about the surrounding WiFi networks, Wipry from Oscium is required.” Deleted app from my phone..Version: 1.0
✓ Miss leading description.Description states that you do and don't need an external device to work. Truth is that you do..Version: 1.2
✓ Costs $649?! That’s too bad!This app requires that you own a $649 external device. Why should I even consider doing that when your desktop app uses the internal hardware inside the machine to analyze interference in Wi-Fi frequencies and their respective channels? This is what I was hoping to do on my iPhone, but there’s no other app out there that can do that, and unless this app can utilize the internal hardware of an iPhone without crashing, and not require that expensive $649 external hardware, I’d say this app is pointless, and a complete ripoff, regardless if the app part is free..Version: 1.2
✓ Joke ... needs device costing £600Downloaded the app only to be redirected to website to buy device costing £600 . Not for home use . Disappointed..Version: 1.0
✓ ScamApp just asks you to connect a device you have to pay for. greedy developer.Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t botherDon’t bother downloading. You will prompted to plug something into USB. Really???!!!!.Version: 1.2
✓ UselessCan only use if you have whatever you need to connect using a usb (which is ridiculous). Only other thing it offers is a speed test but it’s nothing special. Don’t waste your time downloading it, you’ll only end up deleting a minute later unless you have the hardware required. Pointless and incorrect app description..Version: 1.2
✓ UselessApp does not work.Version: 1.2
✓ TrashDont waste your time.Version: 1.2
✓ RubbishDoesn't do anything unless you purchase.Version: 1.0
✓ ScamAdvertised as one thing, open it to find it does NOTHING without buying a subscription service..Version: 1.0
✓ Completely uselessIt doesn’t anything. It just tries to send you to an external website to buy something - which I think should be against the AppStore guidelines anyway. Do not download Does not work Should be removed from the AppStore At least it’s free and I didn’t waste money on it. Just my hard earned time..Version: 1.0
✓ No useThis is an app for a product. It does not work standalone..Version: 1.2
✓ Net spot analyserThis is very misleading. Almost a scam. Once you buy this it tells you to spend another $649 on another programme before it will do anything other than a simple speed test. You can get better speed tests for free. Don’t buy this until you decide you want to spend another $650. 👎.Version: 1.2
✓ Only offers Wi-fi speed testThis app only offers a basic Wi-fi speed test that you can get on any other app. Immediately asks for a USB connection but I’m using an iphone. Don’t waste your time on this one. Delete..Version: 1.2
✓ Also rubbishNeed to Pay to do anything.Version: 1.0
✓ The free addition does nothingUseless.Version: 1.0
✓ This should be renamedThe app name should indicate this is a utility for a specific piece of hardware. It’s utility without the $650 hardware is limited to a speed test, something available in thousands of apps..Version: 1.2
✓ Useless AppAvoid wasting your time with it.Version: 1.0
✓ Bait and switch - remove this appDon’t download this app. The developer makes it seem like this will work without their expensive WiFi spectrum analyzer device but that’s a lie. You have to buy the WiFi spectrum analyzer otherwise you’re limited to only performing speed tests. There are better apps for speed tests. Stay away from this one..Version: 1.2
✓ GarbageI was gonna say this app is garbage, but even garbage has a higher standard than this app..Version: 1.2
✓ ConLoad of rubbish! Don't download. Would give 0 stars if possible..Version: 1.2
✓ Company OUT OF BUSINESS! Collecting your infoThe free version of this app doesn’t work. This is usually a phishing scam to obtain your information..Version: 1.2
✓ Rubbish - requires additional hardwareThis tool does NOT allow you to scan channels as requires additional hardware. Only allows for a Speedtest without this additional hardware!.Version: 1.2
✓ Worthless junkThis should not be promoted as a “free” app when the app is inoperable unless you buy this stupid WiPry equipment for $650. Completely misleading. Would give it 0 stars if I could..Version: 1.0
✓ Requires third party purchase to workThis app is just a scam to market another product..Version: 1.0
✓ UselessAbsolutely useless 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿.Version: 1.0
✓ Useless without an immediate physical purchaseAs somebody else said, the first time you open the app it tells you that a component needs connecting and offers you a link to go and buy it. Total cr*p. If it requires additional bits to work then it should say so on the download link. Don’t waste your time on this!.Version: 1.0
✓ What a joke !! Needs a $500 modem to work !!!Honest the apps that Apple lets through is pretty pathetic. Take this piece of garbage for example. They offer you the app for free so that’s good right ?? Ummmm not really as you quickly find out that it only works with a $500 to $800 Wi-Fi adapter !!! What a joke. And to make it even funnier they state that you need this modem for Wi-Fi strength testing because of apple’s limitations on the iPhone. Hold faced liars and should be kicked off the App Store asap !!!.Version: 1.2
✓ Only works with some other kit. AvoidNot worth it unless you have the other equipment specified..Version: 1.2
✓ Agree doesn’t workDoesn’t work, loaded on to iPad and useless.Version: 1.2
✓ SCAM - Do not download!This app should be removed from the App Store. It purports to be a free wifi analyser utility but then it tries to trick you into purchasing an AUD $650 “accessory”. STAY AWAY!.Version: 1.2
✓ Misleading listingLike the other review it try’s to mislead the in app purchases tag that Apple adds when downloading by using this as just a redirect..Version: 1.0
✓ Don’t waste your time!!As stated by other reviewers, this app requires you to purchase a $650 device..Version: 1.2
✓ Total conShould be removed from App Store it is a complete scam, it says you don’t need any hardware. When you run it the first thing it says you need a piece of hardware connected via usb. Guess who sells that, Apple should be ashamed letting these complete wasters on the App Store..Version: 1.2
✓ Requires expensive hardware connected via USBThe only functionally provided without the hardware is a pretty useless download speed test. The app should state that it requires the hardware in its tittle or immediately visible part of description. Currently it mentions it below the fold..Version: 1.2
✓ It’s a conDoes not work unless you buy some extra software. There is no trial version. Be careful. A rip-off..Version: 1.0
✓ 🤬Very easy to operate..... As soon as you buy this $700 piece of equipment..... Not gonna happen..... 👎.Version: 1.0
✓ Only and other speed testerDoes not do what advertised..Version: 1.2
✓ Requires a picture of your homeWhat kind of stupidity is this? Just draw a map based on motion. If Roomba required a picture of a home, they’d never sell any vacuums..Version: 3.0.114
✓ Bait & SwitchSure, the app is free. But you have to buy a nearly $700 device to use it..Version: 1.2
✓ Complete crapShould be more obvious that the external device is required to operate. Adding a “free” speed test provides no value..Version: 1.2
✓ Scam - should not even be on the app storeThis is a paid app disguising itself as a free one. I do hope that apple did its home work and did introduce a hacking app on its store. deleted the app within seconds of using it.Version: 1.0
✓ Does not workWould have given zero star if possible..Version: 1.2
✓ Should be removed!!This is one of the worst apps I’ve seen in a long time and will put in a request to get it removed! Obviously put together by a child who has no idea what they are doing in Xcode 🤣👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎.Version: 1.2
✓ NoHorrible..Version: 1.2
✓ What a jokeThis ‘free’ app requires you to buy a 3rd party device to assess your wi-fi signal. The device costs $650!! I borrowed a friend’s Samsung & used the app on that phone for free. Pity this App Store doesn’t have the same app or I’d get that one!.Version: 1.2
✓ Doesn’t workUnless you have some special hardware costing over £500.Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t waste your time.Don’t waste your time. This does nothing until you purchase a $600 plus dollar professional app that works with it. They should say something..Version: 1.0
✓ Costs $647Have to spend big to work. Rating -5.Version: 1.0
✓ Terrible app, does not workThis is a older app where you have to times 2 the screen. You have to buy before you can use..Version: 1.0
✓ No useThis app promise much but once downloaded one finds it needs another device to work. Forget it! 👎.Version: 1.2
✓ Doesn’t workAdvertised as a WiFi signal scanner. Doesn’t work unless you purchase their software for 6.99. Scam.Version: 1.0
✓ Requires hardwareWith out the hardware device the only thing you can do with this app is an Internet speed test, but in the app description the developer says that this app works without the device. Recommend that they develop or update the description to properly describe what works out the hardware..Version: 1.2
✓ NetSpot analyzer does not workDoes Not work.Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t waste valuable life seconds installingClaims of not needing hardware are false despite what the (contradictory) claim in description say..Version: 1.2
✓ UselessDoesn’t find any networks when opened.Version: 1.0
✓ Unusable unless you payUnusable unless you pay.Version: 1.0
✓ App was not the sameUsed it fir years and seem from another’s country.Version: 1.2
✓ MisleadingApp says it’ll work without hardware. It doesn’t. So it’s a misleading app. Don’t install this app unless you have some spare life you’d like to waste..Version: 1.2
✓ False claimsContrary to claims. You do need WiPry 2500x hardware to do anything other than your garden variety speed test..Version: 1.2
✓ UselessServes no purpose..Version: 1.2
✓ Exact additional hardware requiredThey have really cool options available on the app, but you have to have an external expensive piece of hardware to use it. That should be listed in the title and their website should also state that clearly..Version: 1.2
✓ Terrible app needs some sort of hardware peripheral to workAwful app nowhere does it say you need a hardware peripheral to work - can’t be used without it.Version: 1.2
✓ RubbishCompletely useless unless you have additional hardware, now deleted..Version: 1.2
✓ Does not workNo diagnostics provided..Version: 1.2
✓ Useless unless you buy hardware tooUseless unless you buy their hardware too.Version: 1.2
✓ I guess “free” means $650The app is pretty much useless and can’t do anything. In order to use it you need to buy a piece of tech they sell for $650. Surely this is the lowest rated app I’ve ever come across..Version: 1.2
✓ Don’t waste your timeTo get this to work, you are told you have to spend $650 on a device..Version: 1.0
✓ PointlessDoes nothing, due to the one reason a Wi-Fi analyzer might be useful being nerfed by iOS. Should make this clearer in the description at least..Version: 1.2
✓ WiPry not needed???“Get started by connecting WiPry 2500x via USB” is the message I first see after install. Why bother with this app when all you can see is speed test by clicking top right corner. There are better apps out there and provide better visuals and functionality than this one. Deleting app within a few minutes....pointless..Version: 1.2
