inSSIDer

Inssider stopped working on Galaxy Tab S3 when it was upgraded to Android 8.0. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Inssider, but no go. Please fix this and I'll change my rating. Thanks!

This was the pimp cane of wifi tools, paid for it and it vanished. It had some little crashing issues, but damn really vanished completely?

Used to be my go to WiFi app but just stopped working. Metageek don't seem to care apart from taking your money. Use WiFiman by Ubiquiti instead!

Don't bother. Used to be great but completely useless now. It shouldn't even be available to download.

The best WiFi analyser. A shame it's not available anymore.

was good but since update to android 9 and ui1 it just sits there saying waiting wifi data

Paid $10 and doesn't work anymore since Android 9 update 😕

I still miss this app, wish it still had worked!

Not working on Android 10

They took 10$ from everybody and Bye Bye! for this it was overpriced 10$!!..is it planned???

This app is highly useful for both desktop and Android. The information on radios is quite detailed by layman standards. However, what it really needs to do is advise on the BEST channel. What one needs to know is whether to choose a 5 GHz channel with slightly more noise than a 2.4 GHz channel. I rate 4 stars in part because I'm a fan of MetaGeek.

I bought this to do some troubleshooting in my very chaotic WiFi environment. The interface is good and gives lots of useful insights. Unfortunately, it hangs my device after about a minute. MetaGeek support indicated they haven't tested the current version for Lollipop and they happily refunded my money since they could not resolve the problem. I'd gladly try again when they push out an upgrade.

I have used the computer version for years, I bought this tool as a quick way to do sight surveys. It constantly hangs and requires me to restart the application. It would have only gotten 1 star if it were not so darn handy. I really would love a stable version of this application. At which time I will re-review.

Very nice upgrade to the free version, but when viewing the 2.4 or 5 gig signal graphs, it often freezes on my S5 and you have to close it out and start it again. Once this is resolved, it will be an awesone 5 star app. However I agree with another poster, it would be nice to be able to export data.

A bit slow to start up and display information... But works great.. Would like see a time graph thing that shows all networks not only the selected network. Thanks for adding ART support!

I am a paid user of the desktop version, however, the Android version does not display channel width in the channel graph view. Every SSID shows up as 20MHz in width. This is a problem when trying to determine the appropriate channel in a residential environment, when people are using 20, 40, and even 80MHz wide channels inappropriately. Cannot rely on InSSIDer's data for determining the best channel without accurate channel width views. Other WiFi analysis apps on Android show channel widths accurately.

Works well with my Galaxy S5. Does a good job of detecting Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. If I could have one feature added though, it would be the ability to create a CSV and/or XML files of what it "sees" for Wi-Fi auditing purposes rather than dragging out my Kali Linux box and using Kismet. As others have pointed out, Wi-Fi Analyzer is a good alternative and you can email yourself the results as a CSV file.

While I love the app and have used it for a while, I bought the PC version which gives a little more in analysis. The nexus 9 release marshmallow broke this and several other network analysis type apps. Problem traced to netgear analytic app. Wiped tablet and reloaded minus analytics everything started working. Loaded two games and insider is broke again. Guess I will be using the pc for work now

I have the old/free version and the new Paid one. The new one is definitely unstable, but more importantly it actually has fewer features than the old one. You can't optimize an network anymore and, despite screenshots to the contrary, things like OverLapping APs is not longer reported. The Group By functionality that is touted does not actually group APs with the same name it just changes whether or not the Graph displays MACs or ESSIDs. The overall UI has taken a step backwards as well. And the real kicker is if you Opt-Out of sending data back to MetaGeek the app gives you a ":(" dialog and locks up. For $10 you would expect a much more solid/feature rich/polished app.

I have used the old free desktop/laptop version of inSSIDer in the past. Thought I'd buy the Android version today since I was taking an hour drive. Within 60 seconds of running inSSIDer, the program locks up. If you touch the screen after that, a "program not responding" note pops up offering to close, wait, or file a bug report. Very unhappy customer :( I'm using the NVIDIA Shield Tablet with the Lollipop update installed. UPDATE: I later found Wifi Analyzer as a stable (and free) alternative.

The app seems pretty powerful for a phone app. The one thing it is missing is the max speed of the network. The desktop version of this does show max network speed. My network channel bonding seems to go on and off with every small change I make. I use inssider to ensure my access points are channel bonding.

We had a major SSID spoofing issue at a client's site, and i was amassing as many tools as I could to document the issues, so I bought this. InSSIDer was basically useless - it locked up, on both my phone and tablet, every time I scanned the network, and had to be force-quit. The issue was two Meraki controllers dueling with each other to aggressively kill the other's network - they were both spoofing, deauthing all users, and then black-holing the other system's SSIDs, rendering both Wifi networks completely unusable (the building manager was initially unaware of the 2nd system). The solution was an upgrade of both systems to some beta software from Meraki, implying that they maybe pushed out a bad update last Tuesday, when this started, but they weren't admitting anything. InSSIDer's complete collapse, when the six or so other FREE apps were accurately scanning and documenting the radios, was pretty unimpressive.

I personally don't see what this does compared to free versions. For $10 it would be nice to do a quick export of the information instead of having to take a bunch of screensnapshots. But the desktop version. Is the same way, so I guess I should have known better.

I use this a lot for optimizing my wireless environment. It does not support 80mhz channels in AC-mode, although this could also be a limitation of the single-stream chipset in my HTC One.

Use to work well. Now constant freezes on a Tab Pro 8.4 after about a minute every time.

I'm still not sure if I have full functionality as described. It hangs in my Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C.

Constantly hangs and has been doing so for years. For a premium app this should have been addressed a long time ago.

This app is fine but there are better options for mobile device wifi analysis. Considering the features it shouldn't be a paid for app.
