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.

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😁

Absolutely garbage. Not sure how you expect the app to work when you can't even make a working signup form on the website. The app hasn't had a facelift in many years and looks outdated. I guess the developers are too busy spending their £££ from the data that they sell from the app. Guys, you really should give up and concentrate on something worthwhile. If you can't make the signup page work, the app doesn't stand much chance.

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.

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.
