Description by Christian Schneider(from Google Play)
A (s)imple, (l)ight(w)eight, wlan / wifi scanner widget. It displays the wlan / wifi networks in your neighborhood. This will help you to find a free channel and configure your own wlan network on a channel which is not allready occupied. No ads. 100% fat free. Only 22 Kb small so it won't eat up your device storage space. It starts to scan once you push the "scan" button. Push the "stop" button to ...guess what... stop scanning! First Number is Channel Number, second is signal level, the last column is the network name. It needs 3x2 cells on the home screen. This is a widget so you need to drop it on your homescreen it is not an app.
If you like more of those simple, lightweight widgets which only ask you for the permissions they realy need and don't fill up you phone with Megabytes of data even if they need to do only a small job then check the other SLW widgets.

Works great. Only thing I would like to see different, when I install a 1x1 widget all I want to see is the button, no networks.
★★★★★
Great - No unnecessary permissions A great widget that does what it says, without a lot of unwanted baggage like ads and unexpected permission requirements. What a breath of fresh air.

Works htc wild froyo, looks good. Please make connect optional, wouldn't want to connect to odd networks by accident, just see them. Thanks.
★★☆☆☆
DON'T INSTALL Although a good app, it constantly runs in background and eats the ram. Don't let the small size of app fool you. It constantly put my phone at max ram causing all apps and games to force close, had to keep taking battery out and reboot. I have a very fast and modded X10i (overclocked) and still this app maxed out my ram. AVOID,YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
