How it works

  1. Allow location access so the app can show the towers around you.
  2. Open the map to see nearby cell towers and how far you are from them.
  3. Run a speed test for download, upload and latency.
  4. Move around and compare readings to find the spot with the best signal.

Frequently asked questions

What does the map show?

Cell towers around your current location on an interactive map, so you can see where your signal is likely coming from and how far away the towers are.

What does the speed test measure?

Your current cellular download speed, upload speed and latency, which is the delay before data starts to arrive.

Why is my signal weak indoors?

Walls, metal-coated glass, basements and distance from the tower all weaken mobile signal. Testing near a window or on a higher floor often gives better results.

Is it free, and is it on Android?

It's free to download on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 17 or later); some features need a subscription. There's no Android version yet.

What about my privacy?
