(Edit: Thanks for adding the permission, now the widget works and is "eating".) With Android 10, I think you need to add an "All the time" permission in the location setting for the widget to work. Right now my router is "hidden" and the widget doesn't toggle OFF or Scan/Show other networks in the area. Basically, the widget is on a hunger strike and dying.

Edit: All good & working now. SSID names were actually shown before this recent update. All SSIDs names now appear as "Hidden". Using stock Android 10 on Galaxy 9+ with location, etc. on and with a reboot. App also does not have permission enable/disable wifi; it is no longer defined within its allowed permissions.

Great app and developer responded quickly to an issue with Android 10 and it now works perfectly again after last update. 👍👍👍

Widget does not update in a timely fashion following change of network. Network name often defaults to "Hidden" even though it's not.

still needs work: yes it works, but it doesn't refresh the ip in the widget by itself. only connection-speed is refreshed. so, when you are connected with wifi it shows an ip. when you then disconnect or get in range of another wifi access point and connect with that, the widget still shows your old ip. you have to bring up the wifi list to refresh the widget. EDIT: thx for the reply, but i already excluded the widget from all power saving policies. hope you can fix this. the widget is beautiful.

Widget doesn't update, even after using it to change settings. Shows wrong information 90% of the time. No customization in regards to color or transparency. Good concept, poor execution.
