WiFi site survey app for Android
Walk the building with your phone and turn it into real coverage data. A guided flow tells you what to do at each step. The measurements sync straight into the floor plan you designed in WiFi Weave.
The app (150 MB) is available to account holders from inside WiFi Weave — sign in on a Pro or MSP plan, open a floor plan, and use Survey data → Download the Android survey app. See plans.
Android 9 or newer. Requires location permission — Android only returns Wi-Fi scan results to apps that have it.
This is a direct download, not a Play Store install. Android will ask you to allow installing from your browser the first time. The app is signed, but it has not been through Play Store review.
Watch: what the survey is for
Measurements from a walk of the floor, laid over the prediction: where the problem is, and the fix as a before and after.
What it does
Real measurements, not predictions
Records live signal strength, the access points in range, and channel usage from the phone’s own Wi-Fi radio as you walk.
Positioned on your floor plan
Pins each reading to a location. On phones with ARCore the camera tracks where you walk; on other phones you tap the plan at each turn. Either way the walk becomes a measured heatmap rather than a list of numbers.
Syncs to your plan
Survey data lands on the same floor plan you designed in WiFi Weave, so predicted and measured coverage sit side by side.
What it is not
A phone radio is not test equipment, and it is worth being clear about the ceiling before you rely on it:
- No RF spectrum analysis — that needs dedicated hardware.
- Positioning drifts on long walks without a reference point.
- Readings come from one phone’s radio, so they reflect that device, not every client.
- Beta software: expect rough edges, and tell us about them.
Common questions
Why Android, when the other tools are iOS?
That is the point. Ekahau’s survey app runs on iOS and Hamina Onsite is Apple-only, which leaves anyone carrying an Android phone unable to survey without buying hardware or a second device. This app is Android-first.
What does it cost?
The app itself is free while it is in beta. It needs a WiFi Weave account on the Pro or MSP plan, because the survey tools and uploading a survey to a floor plan are part of those plans.
Does it replace a spectrum analyser?
No. It reads what the phone’s Wi-Fi radio can see — signal strength, access points, channels. It does not do RF spectrum analysis, which needs dedicated hardware.
How accurate is the positioning?
On phones that support ARCore, the camera tracks your movement after you tap two known spots on the plan. On other phones you tap the plan at each turn and readings are spread along the path between taps. Both are good enough to attribute readings to rooms and walkways. It is not survey-grade positioning, and long camera-tracked walks can drift.
Surveys sync into a WiFi Weave floor plan. The survey tools are part of the Pro and MSP plans.
