Description
Coverage Mapper is a crowd sourced cellular signal strength mapping application.
Coverage Mapper will record and submit cellular signal strength data to a central server, to generate accurate coverage maps for your provider.
Please check out the website (http://www.coveragemapper.com), preferably on a computer, to get a better understanding of the application before downloading it.
As you travel with the application running, it records your device's signal strength, tied to your current location. This data is all uploaded to a central server, where it is aggregated with the data from other users, and averaged into accurate coverage maps that show not just where a provider has coverage, but also how good the coverage is.
This is a beta application. Please report any issues on the forum or by email.
Since this question is frequently asked, install to SD is not an option, because Coverage Mapper runs as a background service, which cannot be moved to the SD card.

★★★★★
Great app! Works well on HTC Sensation (T-Mobile). You should add an upload meter so we can know when the data is uploaded.

Good job! Does a great job. The map gets updated in a matter of a dozen hours, which is quite fast compared to other similar services. Once you start the logging, don't touch the app too much or it might crash.
★★☆☆☆
Dunno I show up on the map okay, but the logger can't determine my location.
★★☆☆☆
Does not work. Uploaded data do not show on the map I've used this over a month time to time, accepting the fact this drains battery quickly. The app has collected information of cell ids and when uploaded it doesn't complain. But never the visited areas and their coverage show later on the map.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work anymore It used to be my preferred app, now when I report trips it comes back and most of the areas show no coverage or continuous red areas, even with good signal
