Comments on Tower Collector for Android

★★★★★ ozzie jr · May 19, 2023
Excellent! The app makes it easy to contribute to Pencilled and Mozilla Location Services with a good user interface.
★★★★★ Mikołaj Zaremba · Jul 12, 2020
Great app! It's a better way to upload data to MLS than using Mozilla Stumbler.
★★★★★ Anurag Goswami · Apr 3, 2020
Improves open source map data. Can we upload data to radio cells just like as we do for MLS and open cell?
★★★★★ Andrey F · Aug 27, 2025
Know your ISP down to its cell towers! (From the Art of War, probably.)
★☆☆☆☆ vinay kaushik · Dec 13, 2024
Can this app fetch cell tower info or not. I'm clearly getting one cell tower info like ID, MCC, MNC, signal and quality from my app. So count of cell should be at least 1. But this app shows 0. Does this app just take data and not show it?
★☆☆☆☆ Todd · Aug 14, 2022
Map does not show towers near me. Only gives tower I'd and other info. List info on wi-fi.

Description by Adam Zamojski Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Tower Collector gives you opportunity to contribute in OpenCellID.org and BeaconDB projects by uploading GPS locations of GSM/UMTS/LTE/CDMA/TD-SCDMA/5G (NR) cell towers from your area. The measurements help map the extent of mobile phone network coverage. You can use the app to collect data for personal purposes and export them to various files.

Some features:
• specially optimized GPS parameters to reduce battery drain
• upload to OpenCellID.org and BeaconDB projects
• export to SD card as CSV, JSON, GPX, KML and KMZ.
• ad-free, forever!

The OpenCellID.org project goal is to create a worldwide open source database of mobile cell locations. Tower Collector gives you opportunity to contribute in OpenCellID project by uploading cell towers locations from your area. Collected data can be used to quickly locate devices without enabling GPS.

BeaconDB is an a public database that collects location information about common wireless infrastructure (cell towers, WiFi access points, Bluetooth beacons). The cell tower data you contribute will be aggregated and released to the public under the "Creative Commons (CC-0)" license.
