Editor, tools and utilities
- Signal strength readings for every network in range
- Crowded channel detection to find a less busy channel
- No internet access needed, according to the developer
- Open source code, free to use with no ads
- Not a Wi-Fi password cracking or phishing tool, per the developer
What the app is for and who it suits
WiFi Analyzer (open-source) looks at the wireless networks around you. It scans the networks in range, measures how strong each signal is, and identifies channels that are crowded with other networks. The developer presents it as a way to tune a home or office WiFi setup.
It suits anyone who wants to understand the radio environment their own router is working in. The listing describes it as a tool for optimizing your own network, not for looking into other people's.
Finding a less crowded WiFi channel
Nearby networks often share the same radio channels, and the app shows which of them are busy. The developer's stated purpose is to help you spot a channel with less congestion around you.
The app points out crowded channels, but the change itself is made in your router's own settings.
Checking signal strength of nearby networks
The app lists the networks it finds and measures the signal strength of each one. Comparing those readings shows which networks are strongest where you are standing, and which ones are competing for the same space as yours.
Because the readings come from the network scan itself, you can see the picture around you without connecting to any of the networks.
How it handles your data
The developer says the app does not need internet access, so it does not send personal or device information to any other source. It also says the app does not receive information from other sources.
The description states that the app does not collect any personal information, and that its code is open source, so its workings are published.
Free, open source and volunteer-built
WiFi Analyzer (open-source) is free and has no ads, according to the developer. It is under active development by volunteers, and its source code is public.
The developer states that the app is not a Wi-Fi password cracking or phishing tool.
