OpenSignal app by Trevor SmithNice app at first glance. But suddenly, my phone will not power up. Call ATT and she said, she also loaded it and caused the same problem. Too bad... its a virus infested app. Perhaps the developer does not know about it.
It keeps crashing by anonymIt sucks it keeps crashing on my device 1/5
Good but need improvement by anonymThere is no option to see for 2nd sim ...means no option for dual sim 3/5

Living in the middle of nowhere by anonymBeing in cow town this little thing helps when finding a part of the house that has 'ok' service. 5/5
Just ok by anonymI wish it had a memory of the tests it has done so i can see if my internet is faster or slower 3/5
Not showing towers anymore by anonymShowed Verizon towers in the past, now none are displayed on the map. Bummer, that is why I got the app. Please fix this! 1/5
Super useful app by anonymThis app gives you the information you need if you're on the road and need to stay connected, or want to know where to go to optimize your signal. Beautiful simple interface. 4/5
It's a great but not accurate. by anonymThis App can be more screened for more accurate reading of towers of diff service provider. 4/5
Bad update on marshmallow by anonymUnfortunately open signal has stopped. Program crashes with this error message after 4.14 update. And yes, I have restarted my phone. 2/5
Interesting! by anonymLiving on the edge of coverage this app confirms what guessed how weather can reduce signal strength. It also fascinates me that you cant predict where the strong signals are. Now I don't have to guess. 5/5
A good tool by anonymInteresting assortment of data concerning data and WiFi signals. It can even tell you what direction the nearest cell tower is in. Also has carrier specific info. 5/5
Not working on moto g running bliss pop rom by anonymApp crashes as soon as launched. 1/5
No cell towers by anonymMaybe I'm doing something wrong but there's no towers shown on the map, even though the compass points in the right direction 2/5
Ok by anonymI'm from Provence of Ontario and we don't have your big five service providers. Other than that, this app Rock's. 3/5
Out of range? by anonymMost of the time in my house, according to this app I'm conntected to a tower by a yellow line which (when I tap on it) shows as out of range? I don't think this app is working properly on my phone : 2/5
Decreased screen-on time by anonymAlways running background process never stops CPU utilization, even after disabling all the background reporting, it keeps the CPU running whenever the screen is on. 2/5
Tool Of The Year by anonymWell its very useful for bad signal mostly just gives info i like how it points where the strong signal is coming from i like how it shows you which Tower your on or near & speed test gotta love speed test great app thumbs up ? 5/5
Useful app. Awesome reports. by anonymKool UI. Nice features. Detect bad signals... Know your data or sms or call minutes usage ...and lot more. I will keep it forever. Thanks developers. ? 5/5
Smart and very useful! by anonymThis is best network finding app I've used in awhile. It does what it promises and delivers some great network stats with a clean and easy to use interface. I deff recommend it, if you want to know where that Internet is! 5/5
Bugs... And can't report signal strength manually by anonymWhen looking at maps, network only shows "all" radio button after initial selection . The other network buttons disappear after initial selection. 3/5
Great improvement by anonymSo much better than previous version I tried several years ago. Nice features and intuitive interface, good job! 5/5
Very good but BTS source not accurate by anonymIts good bcus i can find my nearess bts. But cant know if its the right operator bts bcus my country operator share same tower 4/5
Wow! by anonymThis app is amazing! I was astonished by the accuracy of the maps. It was also good to have confirmation of my experience in connection with the sudden drop-off in Verizon service in my home for the last 4 months. 5/5
Permission agressive. by anonymWell, I'd suggest you review the terms of usage for your program. It's getting me the impression of being watched over my shoulder constantly. 1/5
I liked it on first impression... by anonymBut the map of cell towers never populates. It shows my current location but never shows any towers. Map never loads. **Edit 7/6/16 - cell tower maps still never load. Disappointing since it's the main reason I'm trying this app. Really wish this issue would be fixed. Also, why is there always running processes for this app, after restart, and app not initiated after restart? Ready to uninstall until devs fix. 3/5
by anonymUsed to be perfect, but latest update on 5.07.2016, still has not solved the problem of the line showing which tower I am connected to being missing from the map. Towers are now also missing but map does show my location. Hope these issues can be fixed because the app was great when it worked 2/5
Really useful app by anonymI use it almost every day. Genuinely useful for finding good coverage areas and comparing networks. I especially like the ping stats as it is low ping (network latency) that really makes a connection feel snappy (as opposed to raw throughput, as some networks would have you believe). 5/5
Bugs/laggy by anonymThe splash screen is sometimes shown when returning from the cell map. Also the display meters in the main screen are not always updated showing ie wrong distance to cell even if the map shows correctly and is fixed by force quit. Also seems to get slower by the update 4/5
The data it shows is nonsense by anonymI like the idea but the information is very unreliable. The arrow points in a different direction to where the map shows I am connected, the power dial shows high data connectivity even when the phone is on the edge of 1 bar of reception and calls are not possible. Even standing underneath the tower I was supposedly connected to (I couldn't see the tower) I only had 2 bars of reception. I fear that this unreliable information creates an unreliable coverage map. 1/5
