Coverage? focuses on helping mobile bandwidth junkies find cell signal as they roam.  Save time looking up coverage on the carrier's websites, compare their claims head to head and better plan your travels to stay connected. 

** The carrier's maps in your pocket: This app contains regional level maps based off of each major carrier's data map - as found on their website as of our last update. Quickly overlay the carriers you use to create your own personalized coverage map on your device. 

** No internet needed: Our proprietary coverage maps are stored within the app on your device - no downloading needed! Quickly access where you're supposed to get a signal, even when you have none. 

** Urban and rural areas: Maps are at a regional level, and cover the entire continental USA, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.

** Carriers included: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular.
** Canadian Carriers: Bell, Telus, Rogers (optional unlock)

** Know where to roam: view 5G, LTE, and roaming areas as overlays, focus on finding the coverage type you desire.

We created this app because we are full time 'technomads' ourselves who rely on mobile data to work remotely. Keeping this app updated is a priority for us, as we depend on it ourselves!

Coverage FAQ: 
Q: Why aren't the maps more detailed or released more often? 
A: Our map updates require a lot of meticulous labor intensive processing. There's just no practical way to issue a new update every time a new tower is turned on. We monitor new coverage and try to find balance between effort & staying current.  This generally means at least a couple updates a year. 

Q: What makes 'Coverage?' unique? 
A: There are great apps out there that collect user submitted signal reports - we recommend them and use them ourselves. However, those apps are only useful in markets with an active user base. We took a different approach with Coverage? - we needed a tool to at least give us an idea of where signal should be - urban, rural, and out in the boonies.

The maps in 'Coverage?' are provided in partnership with Ookla, and represent proprietary interpretations of the coverage reported by each carrier. You should not rely on the maps in Coverage to be perfectly precise or absolutely timely.  

Ongoing map updates have been free - but to support the ongoing development costs, we now allow customers to subscribe to higher resolution maps that will be updated more frequently. 

Coverage does not report or predict signal strength (there are great apps out there for that!). We can make no promises as to where you'll *actually* get signal.. there are too many variables - towers, device, terrain, weather, etc.

So… Got Coverage?

Coverage info directly from provider.

If I wanted to see what coverage the provider claims to offer in my area I could go to their website and look at their map. There is zero value provided by this app.

Great and Informative App

Thanks for the information, especially for new 5G midband update. Nice to see how TMUS N41 ahead of VZ and especially T N77.

Confusing

Checked coverage, I thought, but map just showed a purple/pink color overall (not sure what that means)EVEN THOUGH MY CELL SERVICE IS REALLY WEAK Seems a waste of time and energy

Low resolution

This is only good to find out whether your county has coverage in general. It lacks the resolution to see your actual neighborhood.

Confusing interface

I tried to see the coverage at my dad’s house where I’ll be visiting, and it appears to show there is 5G in rural Texas. I don’t think so. So I tried it at my house, and it says I have strong 5G. I have one bar.

Data is Patently False

This app appears to base coverage purely on what the cell carriers say, who have an interest in giving you the impression of the widest possible coverage. I know for a fact that there is no Verizon or T-Mobile LTE coverage at my work. Only AT&T works. But according to this app it has coverage by all major carriers.

Very very basic

Not worth the 2.99. Just look up coverage map online for free. No detailed info or options.
