The Daily App: Droid WiFi Analyzer for Android

The choices for apps that will analyze the strength of various WiFi networks within range of your mobile device are expansive, and the quality of those apps varies as much as the quality of your wireless access from one major city block to the next.

But in looking for a simple, easy-to-use, easy-to-read and easy-to-understand app to analyze WiFi networks for Android devices, we immediately liked Droid WiFi Analyzer - a free download from the Android Market by developer Kastor Soft.

Droid WiFi Analyzer downloaded and installed on our Android device in between one and two minutes, and once launched provided a quick and accurate analysis of almost two dozen hotspots in our office building. What we liked in particular about this app is that it so easily compares WiFi signal strength of the networks within your range, but with the touch of a button will analyze individual WiFi networks in an easy-to-understand, graphical presentation.

This app will additionally allow you to filter out networks you wish to ignore, and also provide you a graphical presentation of WiFi channels in range. As carriers like AT&T and Verizon continually make it more difficult or more expensive to exceed monthly usage limits for their 3G networks, the use of WiFi for your devices will increasingly take on an important role. As such, WiFi quality will take on a big role, as well.

Droid WiFi Analyzer is a solid app and one of the best we’ve seen on the Android platform for managing your WiFi network choices.
