Description
The WifiNanScan app measures the distance between two smartphones using the Wi-Fi Aware protocol (also called Neighborhood Aware Networking(NAN)). It’s designed as a research, demonstration, and testing tool for developers, vendors, universities, and more. With this app it is possible to obtain a distance measurement with a precision of about 1 meter with phones up to 15 meters apart. Developers, OEMs and researchers can use this tool to validate distance/range measurements enabling the development of peer-to-peer ranging and data transfer, find my phone and context-aware applications based on the WiFi Aware/NAN API. (See also WifiRttScan.) Your phone must be a model/OS that supports WiFi RTT for this app to function.

This app works as intended. For anyone reading the low star reviews, this is because their device Wi-Fi chip doesn't support Wi-Fi RTT. This is an essential requirement for this to work. For example, my Sony XZ Premium will not work, despite Android 9. Neither does my Sony XA2 Running LOS (A10). Neither have RTT support. However, both Pixel 3a and 5 work fine as both support this function. Developer probably should mention this, as not all hardware support it (802.11mc).
