1 ★ Used to be good suddenly doesn't work properly anymore gave it a ll permissions but doesn't show what cell I'm on or show cells or get satellites. Now rubbish and useless. Was quite useful to me being in cellular.
1 ★ Doesn't work.
4 ★ I don't use this constantly but most of the time it works well and gives a good indication of coverage of where I will be.. and I try to turn it on esp when traveling to help record
1 ★ Cannot see 5g coverage, no fix, null satellites
1 ★ It's a pain to set up. I finally just uninstalled the app and moved on to something more user friendly
