I've tried many similar wifi widgets, this was the best and exactly what i was looking for.

This is does almost exactly what i want it to do. Functionally, it displays what I'm looking for. Aesthetically, I gives no options. If nothing else, I'd like to be able to resize the widget.

Didn't work for me on my new Samsung Galaxy A40 running Android 9 Pie. Just said no connection when the native meter was clear there was. Shame as it looked promising.

Works well. Would give 5 stars if pressing widget took you to Wifi settings instead of just changing font size and info shown.

Works fine in Android 9 (Pie).

Just what I was looking for. A simple display that shows the name of the WiFi network (SSID), the signal strength and data speed. The other displayed data are bonus and nice to have. I have put this widget on my home screen. It saves me the trouble of having to go to Settings, Wireless & Networks to find out the SSID. Using LG Optimus 3D. ================================================ Got new phone Samsung A51 running Android 10. App cannot run as there are no updates for Android 10. This app was good on my earlier phone, and has good potential. Pls update to run on Android 10, and it would deserve 5 stars.

About this app

This widget will tell you to which Wi-Fi network you're connected to, including details like Channel, Signal, IP (internal + external), MAC (BSSID), NEW! the vendor / manufacturer of the AP the device is connected to
(by MAC OUI - requires internet connection), also, support for dual band deviceds (2.4Ghz, and 5Ghz).

PLEASE NOTE: this is a widget application! you need to add it on the widgets menu, it won't appear on your menu.

If you like this app. please buy the paid version for support, thank you very much.

This tool comes in very handy when you want to make sure that you're connected to a specific AP.

Please note! this application does not drain your battery!
It only uses events from the systems (that's why the signal level indicator only updates once in a while).

It has two modes:
1. showing the information in large font.
2. showing extended data in smaller font.

Tap on the widget to switch between modes, when the device is connected to an AP.
