NetSpot WiFi Analyzer Positive Reviews
Not NetSpot’s FaultApple, in the interest of privacy and security, has locked down everything; the ability to scan surrounding networks and map signal strength and channels being one of them.
On the one hand it’s ridiculous that can’t be done on my phone, on the other hand, unrelated apps tracking this info may have gotten too much and I appreciate the extra security precautions/restrictions Apple has placed on IOS.
So, I can’t rate this app a low score for requiring a separate USB device to do something with the iPhone that would normally use iPhone hardware.

App helps to build wifi heatmaps and measure wifi internet speed, works well, but limited…I did not expect they would do that, but they did. For a long time, this app had a 1-star rating because to use it, you had to buy an additional, expensive hardware device. But with this release, they somehow managed to visualize WiFi and create heat maps using just an iPhone, and it's really free. What I didn't like is that the app looks like a beta version, not a full-featured release. It lacks any settings and offers just two features: WiFi Internet Speed Test and WiFi HeatMaps. So, don't expect to deal with a full-featured WiFi Analyzer. But overall, I would say it deserves a 5-star rating.James KropaVersion: 3.0.91
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…..JaimeChinookVersion: 3.0.106
Finally a worthy WiFi survey appOh my, there’s finally a decent WiFi heatmapper for home users and small biz. Fast and very smooth. Great for my network design classes, too..HghlndruaVersion: 3.0.91

NetSpot WiFi Analyzer Negative Reviews
Don’t waste your moneyApp provides a speed test that you can get for free and a heat map that requires a floor plan. I wanted this solely to identify what channels my neighbors are using.
Please refund my money. Used it for 2 minutes and found it useless..ScootDVersion: 3.0.114
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..XtremeGTSVersion: 3.0.113
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..Jim Bob in CAVersion: 3.0.114
Horrible AppExpected the app to be like the desktop version and wow horrible mistaken. This app needs to be reported and removed..Garciab.luismVersion: 3.0.114
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..TheHadouJHyruleVersion: 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..Jb-217Version: 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 $649. Yes, you read it right. Ridiculous.
Deleted immediately. The thing that gets me was the perceived dishonesty. They could have been upfront about this. Such a shame as they have a nice little desktop app with Netspot..SP-1970Version: 1.2
WiPry not needed???“Get started by connecting WiPry 2500x via USB” is the message I first see after install.
Why bother with this app when all you can see is speed test by clicking top right corner. There are better apps out there and provide better visuals and functionality than this one.
Deleting app within a few minutes....pointless..EgeckoVersion: 1.2
Not what it advertises!False advertising! I was looking for a simple WiFi signal strength meter. This app shows that’s what it is. NOPE! This app is the instruction manual on how to plug in your device with an ethernet cable and says that without it all you can do is a simple speed test. I can get that in any browser.
Don’t waste your time with this app!.Hooz-FoozVersion: 1.2
Requires hardwareWith out the hardware device the only thing you can do with this app is an Internet speed test, but in the app description the developer says that this app works without the device.
Recommend that they develop or update the description to properly describe what works out the hardware..Luken GruvenVersion: 1.2
Bait and switch - remove this appDon’t download this app. The developer makes it seem like this will work without their expensive WiFi spectrum analyzer device but that’s a lie. You have to buy the WiFi spectrum analyzer otherwise you’re limited to only performing speed tests. There are better apps for speed tests. Stay away from this one..AppleReview1Version: 1.2
Terrible AppI read the other reviews but figured the app would have functionality of some sort without the 649$ 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..Noname12985Version: 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..PaulNotPaulVersion: 1.0
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.ChStk215Version: 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..AruslanVersion: 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..ScrupplyVersion: 1.2
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?.DaneinChiVersion: 1.2
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?.KristinTheUnhappyGrillerVersion: 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..Gonzalezi2Version: 1.2

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 !!!.MitchfromtorontoVersion: 1.2
