Comments on WiGLE WiFi Wardriving for Android

★★★★★ Mark Hundzinski · Jul 21, 2026

Easiest way to war drive ever. Fantastic app that spoon-feeds you everything, including uploading the file. Even if you have no idea what you are doing and just found out what war driving is, this app makes it easy to get started.

★★★★★ James · Sep 5, 2025

Great app to find hackers via Bluetooth I've found quite a few hackers who have been trying to ride my coat tails via Bluetooth and have blocked them through this app😁

★★★★★ Patrick T · Jun 4, 2024

Great info. There's one thing that I'm kind of confused about every time I go to it it has to be to pick a text to speech app or a speech to text app, and I'm like is it going to talk to me or am I going to talk to it? I've been selecting text to speech. But I haven't told it to always use the same thing because I don't even know what it's asking for

Loved this program sense the beginning, have had it on every android phone I have owned homeless. *Should add an option to toggle speaker for new Wi-Fi's when standing still

★★☆☆☆ Jim Bob · Aug 13, 2025

All I wanted is a nice tidy little list of the Wi-Fi networks within a block or so of me. I put it on airplane mode since the app doesn't stop scanning when you tell it to with the provided controls as I pulled in the driveway. Phone went in my pocket until I got inside and when I pulled it back out to look at the list .... it's gone. Try to download the local database, and it says it doesn't exist. Map shows the number but not a complete list of the names. Instructions are beyond vague.

Attempted to register to contribute but the website will not let me as it rejects my legitimate email accounts, which results in the app losing certain functionality.

★☆☆☆☆ Cari Garafalo · Feb 28, 2025

Tried to contribute, but they require an account, cool, simple enough, I make an account, try to verify, get "wrong password error," try to reset password, get internal server error, all the while each step makes you do a dozen or more clicks for multiple captchas for every little thing you do. You all, I wanted to help but if you make it punishingly difficult to pitch in, nobody's going to want to help out.
