Antennas (v. 1.05) Разработано mpoly |
This app monitors the GSM/CDMA cellular network connection; displays a map of approximate cellular antenna locations and their RF signal strength; and can log the data to a text or KML file.
*** Does not work on Verizon *** 3G & CDMA Support is limited by Android, not by the application *** CDMA requires Eclair ***
Works best with 2G GSM. 3G/CDMA support is very limited.
Please understand what this tool does and does not do before you rate it. If you are not interested in the esoteric details of how the cellular network works, please do not download this app, it will frustrate you and be a waste of your time. Please check website for details.
I have reports that Verizon now blocks locations. Other providers may do same. Bummer. If your provider blocks, please be considerate and don't downrate the app. Not my fault.
Yes it is a battery hog - it needs to be.
Froyo problems? Tested with HTC Desire 2.2, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab. I do know that it's failing on some devices through. New release coming soon.
Sorry for not posting updates or responding on emails lately.

[2013-10-28] A Google User: So very helpful! We discovered the lovely tower right down the road has a problem with powerlines running alongside our farm. Signel wipes away. Tyty |

[2013-10-20] A Google User: AAA AAA @ |
|
[2013-10-03] A Google User: Crashes too easily Seems to crash when interacting with the map too much. |
|
[2013-09-06] A Google User: Boleh tahan Cuba lok lah |
|
[2013-08-31] A Google User: Not impressed I have used this app to help bring a case to AT&T about lousy cell service in the area. The tower that my cell is connected to is not shown at all on the map. It keeps pointing to a not existent cell tower 2 miles away. I went and checked and nothing there. GPS is right on. Maybe its just my area??!! |
|
[2013-08-29] A Google User: Be great if it was for 3G & cmda Yep, doesn't work for 3G/cdma phones. :-( Read, it is stated in the description. Limited for Galaxy phones. Kinda sad considering the popularity of all the Galaxy phones. Will check again in a few months for update to fix this. |
|
[2013-08-11] A Google User: Sorry... Seems like it's awfully outdated... |
|
[2013-08-06] A Google User: Works great This app works great with my old phone and carrier using 3g. Sadly it does not work under my new phone/carrier which uses LTE. |
|
[2013-08-05] A Google User: Cool. |
|
[2013-07-09] A Google User: Galaxy S3 ATT Never shows towers. Only GPS and signal strength. |
|
[2013-07-08] A Google User: Don't Use This app messed up my cell and GPS service even when not in use. As soon as I uninstalled and restarted, phone was back to normal. |
|
[2013-07-02] A Google User: Poor Why does it is think that I'm in Germany when I'm actually in US? |
|
[2013-06-09] A Google User: works as it said. works for me very well. idenfy all 2G towers nearby. some 3G towers also. |
|
[2013-06-07] A Google User: Fascinating! Seems to work well in the UK with 2G signals (ASDA/Vodafone) on my Nexus 4. I haven't tested with 3G. As another reviewer said, the location dots on the map are very small – probably this is an issue with high-res displays. This isn't really a problem with towers to which the phone is currently linked, but the others (yellow dots) are hard to spot. Chasing down the local antenna towers could become a new pastime – like geocaching, only fractionally more useful. If the map could show the networks available from each antenna that would be a handy addition. |
|
[2013-06-03] A Google User: Works great Awesome |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: works how can this software locat the site position? |
|
[2013-05-20] A Google User: Ok |
|
[2013-05-10] A Google User: Lol Located me in the Greenland sea :-) |
|
[2013-05-05] A Google User: Google Tankyou |
|
[2013-04-23] A Google User: Crashes each few minutes galaxy s2 Crashes |
|
[2013-04-22] A Google User: Repaired App works now. |
|
[2013-04-12] A Google User: Works Works well. Listen up, people: inaccurate or missing tower locations are NOT the fault of this app, but either 3G, Android, or the cell provider's fault. Downvoting for that reason just shows your ignorance. Sorry, but it's true. |
|
[2013-04-07] A Google User: Me like!!! Works great on my Motorola Photon Q. |
|
[2013-04-07] A Google User: A+ Does what it says. Those who say it doesn't work need to learn how to read. |
|
[2013-04-04] A Google User: Walker's aid The most practical use for this app is when you're getting a weak signal and need to know which way to walk to make it work. Only works well on 2G only setting, this is an Android limitation. Is there a better app for this? I haven't seen one yet. |
|
[2013-03-26] A Google User: Very helpful This app seems to work very well with T-Mobile. I've used it for over a year. This is one of the first apps I install on a phone. I really like being able to tell where the towers are that I'm hitting, can make a big difference, even if you just know what side of your building to go to. |
|
[2013-03-21] A Google User: Good work I wonder why people download apps which are no use to them and rate them down! |
|
[2013-03-18] A Google User: not bad bat only in 2G |
|
[2013-02-12] A Google User: Useless Just showed me a map with me in the middle and a line to just one so called antenna position which doesn't exist (it's large expanse of flat agricultural land. |
|
[2013-02-09] A Google User: Needs 3g! Nice app, but needs to be updated to handle 3g networks. 3 doesn't do gprs at all...! |
|
[2013-01-19] A Google User: As expected |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: DOES NOT WORK WITH 4G LTE TECHNOLOGY This used to be one of my most useful tool apps. But, now it's absolutely useless to me since AT&T upgraded the networks to 4G LTE, because the 4G LTE towers and signals do not register on this app. Tried contacting the developer about it, but it didn't do a bit of good. |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Fix,, Fix to be good,, |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Ogerrr Nice |
|
[2012-12-30] A Google User: Doesn't seem to work on froyo. Sad. |
|
[2012-12-26] A Google User: Ed Good |
|
[2012-12-21] A Google User: Strangely erratic This is on T-Mobile in Santa Barbara. Doesn't accurately show cell locations. I was hoping for something better. Detail in the app is good though. |
|
[2012-12-16] A Google User: Super |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Perfect for me Tried other apps that had cell tower and maps built into the program but were very problematic . This app performs this task without any issues. It's perfect for my needs . |
|
[2012-11-11] A Google User: error says im in the Greenland sea |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Useless on Sprint Only gives a Grey N |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Kinda hard to figure out |
|
[2012-11-02] A Google User: Doesnt work Waste of bandwidth. Simply doesnt display any nearby towers. Keep looking! |

|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Doesn't seem to work on SGS3/Sprint Never got past waiting for GPS lock. No towers are shown, map doesn't update. |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Now I know Always wondered why I got rubbish reception at home. Now I know; there's only one tower in the neighbourhood and it's miles away. Very helpful app. Working well on a Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (version 1) on Android V4.0.4. Thanks |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Curioso, legal usar uma vez, manter... não. Curioso, legal usar uma vez, manter... não. Pede pra dfar preferência na conexão de dados 2g, que torna ele mais preciso que a 3g. Na minha cidade, São Bernardo e São Paulo Mega City, não preciso MUITO desta definição. |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: Waste of time |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: Wtf Where the Hell is the greenland sea. Something tells me that its nowhere near podunk Texas. |
|
[2012-08-20] A Google User: Crap Crashed my note |
|
[2012-08-13] A Google User: Not useful (HTV Evo 3D/Virgin Mobile) Other than locating my position on a map, it does nothing else. I live near lots of towers bit this app displays none at all. |
|
[2012-08-12] A Google User: Good app but.... This is a really nice app. It works exactly as advertised. 1 problem though. After installing, my onstar app now shows the cell location as the location of my car. |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Sherif Handy application |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Wack All bad |
|
[2012-07-31] A Google User: Carp Thinks I am in Africa. USA is a wet dream. |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Sucks Put my location in the Greenland Sea. I'm in Arizona!!! |
|
[2012-07-29] A Google User: Excellent! I love this app! It was of great help when i needed to figure out where to set up my external antenna (and what direction to point it in). My only problem is that the "dots" on the map are tiny, to the point that I sometimes can not see the yellow ones at all. Also, I have too zoom very very close to read the numbers written inside some dots. Perhaps it has something to do with the high screen resolution on my Galaxy Nexus? Nevertheless, I'd pay for this app if it wasn't free. Thank you! |
|
[2012-07-29] A Google User: Neat |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Samsung galaxy nexus 4.0.4 Think its due for an update. Long load times and black dot showing one unknown Verizon tower at a time. |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Fail Seems pretty useless. Fails to find my location wherever I try it. |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Works just fine Just do the work what it meant to be. And its accurate |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Useful app Telcos tool |
|
[2012-07-15] A Google User: Doesn't see cells Got 4 bars for 4g but so says it can't locate the cells. |
|
[2012-07-14] A Google User: No Try "rf signal tracker"...its much better. |
|
[2012-07-13] A Google User: Nice App Works fine on my Galaxy Note running 4.0.3 It's fast, simple, accurate. Best cell map I've seen. |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: gadha kida sala |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Dimais Posso ver onde estou conectado |
|
[2012-06-30] A Google User: Interesting Interesting but does not work so well on virgin mobile |
|
[2012-06-22] A Google User: Note Not working with galaxy note. |
|
[2012-06-20] A Google User: No 4g |
|
[2012-06-19] A Google User: OpenSignal is better This app could be better. I recently found an app called Open Signal that does all this and more |
|
[2012-06-09] A Google User: Does exactly what it says |
|
[2012-06-08] A Google User: Poor always in Africa Doesn't work |

[2012-06-01] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy Nexus No rock on ICS. |
|
[2012-05-19] A Google User: ZTE WARP Good so far |
|
[2012-05-13] A Google User: Not working |
|
[2012-05-09] A Google User: Hopelessly inaccurate Great concept, but in my location information is totally inaccurate. And if it can't do 3g accurately why switch to 2g just to get your antenna info? 4g is on the way, so switching to 2g is a pain. Nice idea, poor execution. Maybe works better for other users. |
|
[2012-04-29] A Google User: Awesome Works just like i was hoping |
|
[2012-04-25] A Google User: "Seems" to work Never saw more than one tower at a time. Locks GPS on, uninstalled. |
|
[2012-04-25] A Google User: An Good |
|
[2012-04-25] A Google User: Fast, but wrong Told me my nearest tower was more than 15 miles away yet I have 3 of 4 bars...um no. |
|
[2012-04-22] A Google User: Like it :) |
|
[2012-04-21] A Google User: Wont find my location Nerrrrrr |
|
[2012-04-21] A Google User: Useful Helps to find the direction to better reception. I need it for data plan. HTC Incredble 2. |
|
[2012-04-15] A Google User: Zzz Very good |
|
[2012-03-30] A Google User: Useless if you are on a Sprint network. Can't find towers, no signal strength. I unistalled and went back to OpenSignalMaps. |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: Ok |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: Goood Works great on telstra t tab finds all cell sites on iinet more mobile |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: Doesn't work in UK Says that it's found a tower, but it's certainly never where a real tower is. |
|
[2012-03-23] A Google User: Sexy Works fine on my G2x running ICS SK3. It's fast, simple, accurate. Best cell map I've seen. |
|
[2012-03-16] A Google User: Not accurate Working for a carrier, I am privy to the tower locations and the data represented is not accurate at all. So if you are using this app to find a cell site, forget it. -Uninstalled |
|
[2012-03-07] A Google User: Junk does not work at all. A joke!!!!!!! |
|
[2012-03-03] A Google User: Best cell map one I've tried |
