The Daily App: WiFi Monitor for Android

WiFi Monitor for Android, an app that’s a free download from the Android Market by developer John Park, provides a quick, clean look at available WiFi networks in a given range. It provides information on how far away a hotspot is from your given device.

WiFi Monitor for Android also allows for a vibration alert when a specific access point is located, and will rank a series of hotspots according to signal strength. We found this app to be highly accurate, and think it could be extremely useful to those monitoring access points and their performance in a given enterprise.

WiFi Monitor for Android has settings for both English language and Japanese language, which provided a brief moment of frustration when it appeared to shift from English to Japanese but would not shift back. We rebooted the device and the issue went away.
