Signal Strength 28.1.0

I like the information it provides and I appreciate how it simplifies the information on signals with easy to understand words, like Slow, OK, and Fast. As for the ads, their not intrusive as long as you stick to the Signal menu and Net menu which is all I ever use from the app. Outside of those pages, you'll likely run into those awful full page ads.

Numeric and graphical red-yellow-blue readouts of signal strength of wifi and cellphone. Color indicators are accurate for my phone. If you suspect the signal is weak, good to open the app for confirmation, then walk around to find where's a spot where the signal is strongest. Also a Latency indicator, reads in milliseconds or Fast/Ok/Slow, since the quality of the WiFi access-point's connection to the internet can be troubled, even though it's providing a strong signal to your phone. Lots more.

Very basic WiFi/cell signal strength (not enough to be useful, though), the ads are REALLY distracting, and there's no way to close the app except via force-kill. There are other free apps with ads that aren't so obtrusive and far better common information. The app does passable job at reporting your cell connection strength, but it was pretty useless for WiFi. (Other apps offer basic information, often with drill-down ability to obtain advanced details; this app lacks both or it was not obvious to find and, in either case, it's not clearly available at all.) I was going to give this app 3 stars instead of 4 since it had a repeating obnoxious animated ad covering the bottom of the screen with no way to hide it, and it was REALLY distracting. But when I tried to close the app, it failed to do so, instead changing to a full-screen advertisement with the only option to purchase something. DING! Instant 1-star rating.

This is the best of the apps like it I checked. First, the signal strength is shown in a big graphic easy to see while you're driving and trying to find a place to phone from. That's the only parameter I want to see, so the others are superfluous. Second, the developer doesn't require you to let him access all your contacts. What's annoying is that when the app opens the screen shows a notification that the app needs Location Permission and Phone Permission for certain functions and there's no option for skipping it. So it requires scrutinizing the screen to tap the ok box, which is not good for drivers looking for a place to make a phone call. I don't mind the ads because they don't interfere with the use of the app. If the notification could be skipped I'd rate the app 5★ and pay for the premium.

Nice simple clean layout, it looked good for a second. Ads we're small and non-obtrusive at the bottom of the screen. It shows the signal in asu, not dbm. However, I sat here for a minute watching it and thinking about it, and it popped up a full page ad in my web browser. Oh heck no. I am okay with ad supported, I am not okay with ads taking over my computer.

This is a great no nonsense app, especially the widgets! These things look great, are customizable and give me the info I want at a glance. Only 2 requests tho: 1) It would be nice to poke inside the circles to TOGGLE data/wifi on and off. I dont want to open the settings where I can turn these things off and on... I just want to toggle it! 2) Trigger the widget to update when data/wifi are turned on or off (or when airplane mode is activated/deactivated).
