InSSIDer finally made it to Android I use InSSIDer for Windows pretty frequently and glad to see it is finally working on Android. It works on both my Galaxy Nexus and ASUS Transformer (TF300). I used WiFi Analyzer which is the other one I'd recommend but really a solid app. It's much better at detecting which channels are better and show you how many conflicting APs there can be.
★★★★★
Great tool for optimizing your Wi-Fi network This is a great tool for measuring how strong your Wi-Fi network and which channel is best to use. Very easy to use and gets the job done for simple Wi-Fi setup at home and at work.
★★★★★
Excellent, but please highlight current BSSID This is a welcome addition to Android for a professional tool. However _please_ add the piece of basic functionality from the Windows version which highlights the BSSID currently in use. I have multiple access points with the same SSID and I want to know which AP the tablet is currently using. (It's not always the strongest.) On Windows it's easy to spot the line in bold. The same technique could be used to highlight the current BSSID on the 'Networks' display.

Easy to use on Android 4.0.3 I give it five stars because of its ease of use. No other app can beat inSSIDer. Thanks a lot for this wonderful app , metageek !

inSSIDer could not detect APs Athough the google play said compatible, inSSIDer run imperfectly for my device, Samsung Galaxy Tab7 (Docomo's SC-01C). The network list is not showing anything. While the channel list, could not show my AP channel (all channel display 0 AP and soon). I am using the PC version and love inSSIDer application. I wish android version works for my device. Would you mind to check it. Many Thanks.

Bring back old GUI that... Bring back the old GUI that listed all of the SSIDs over the graphed networks. New user interface is a step down so I discourage others from upgrading until corrected. Have you considered that one might have more than one wifi network? I have 3 and live in the middle of over a dozen. Can't tell which ones are my networks unless i select one at a time. Silly!
★★☆☆☆
Crashing Have inssider on my laptop and was so impressed with it was really pleased an android version for my tablet. Usual great ui, works fine, then when I click return it crashes, constantly. This is a shame as it would otherwise be a great app
