With new android releases added restrictions for work with Wi-Fi, if something doesn't work, read this help.

If on your device doesn't show net list and android 6.0+, check that location permission is granted.
If permission already granted, check that location turn on. Some devices with 7.0+ required it too.

Very helpful app. Good simple interface. QUESTION: When you tap on the [+] button, it expands the width of the channel usage bars to span several channels in the chart. What is that all about? Aren't the various devices on a given channel using just that one channel? What does the expanded view across several channels mean, exactly?

Parts of this app work, but most of it does not. It didn't show the TV under "Devices" even though I logged into the modem/router to make sure it was online. No channels showed on 2.4 or 5 GHz when there was actually 2 smartphones and a TV connected. I wanted to like this app but unless it shows what is truly connected, etc, it's of no use. OnePlus 12

I live in a tower block full off wi-fi signals yet sometimes this app only shows 2, but despite that this app is a lot better than some others iv tried. Sometimes on my wi-fi signal it shows <*>72 and i have no idea what that means and the app doesnt explain it. Yes it is hidden network, for wps i believe. Thanks.

<*>72 - it's hidden network, without name. 72 part of MAC for separate if more then one hidden network. Maybe android return not full list. I think it something with energy saving, at last versions of android. Try open system menu with wi-fi list at this moment.
