Used it to scan channels
Worked as advertised. Not competing with my neighbours wifi
Great tool I have been using for a while
I have been using this tool for a while to map out network coverage around my home. For that purpose it is indespensible. I don't really need any of the features in the paid version, but I figured I'd support the developer with a purchase of home version. I was however a bit disapointed to find out that even after purchasing, you need a much more expensive version to do the simple task of assigning an alias to your access points. Come on guys..one star off.
This app is out of date
This app does not work anymore. It will not allow you to upload a map for WiFi network scanning and even worse does not detect any wireless network. It has become useless. Delete, delete, delete....
Doesn't work
No controls, no details except list of networls. Also, worst UI ever.
Won't even download
need a refund. useless.
Ouch
You said "Full support for macOS Mojave." The scars on my retinas when I opened it at night with dark mode turned on reveal that to be a lie.
full compatibility with macOS Monterey;Fixed
