Comments on LTE Discovery for Android

★★★★★ Michelle Hatsis · Dec 15, 2025

So far, so good, my hope is to retrieve my 4G LTE, Poof one day it disappeared. I'll keep you posted. Thanks to all the Dev's, 👍

★★★★★ Matt Qualls · Oct 9, 2024

Great app that gives you all the information about the tower you're connected to plus shows all the neighboring towers that your phone is picking up on along with their signal strength. Lots of apps like it, but this app is laid out particularly nice and clean. I ended up buying the Pro version awhile back. This app will even show Stingrays if you know what they are and what to look for. At least on AT&T. Worth every penny.

★★★★☆ Curtis · Mar 5, 2026

Great app, especially for logging, although you occasionally need to export to csv &/or email. Screenshot log folder name! Once exported I could delete the log & restart the (500 or 1000 record) log-viewer limitation. All records over time DO LOG into the csv (just not visible in the app). There are a couple other apps that better-render connected-cell & tower location data - but don't log cell-IDs as well as this app. FYI not on the iPhone app store (for Apple IOS permissioning)

★☆☆☆☆ Matt C · Jul 28, 2024

Unless app, all I need is what band I'm using, and all I get is "unknown" under band: pointless app

★☆☆☆☆ Ulises Vazquez · Aug 8, 2025

It doesn't detect that I paid for PRO when I have no signal or internet. That's when I need this app the most.

★☆☆☆☆ Dewi Bermingham · Sep 6, 2025

Doesn't seem to work at all. Whatever I do, I'm stuck with 5g

★☆☆☆☆ Tanner Gremmert · Aug 31, 2025

This app has recently been crashing lately... it's almost like the RAM in my phone gets used too much 😔
