Coverage App Reviews

I paid money to upgrade to the HD maps yet every time I use this app I get the notification to upgrade. I cannot see the HD maps. If I click on the option to upgrade it fails saying I already have a subscription. So which is it? The App Store confirms that I have subscription. I have tried reaching out to the developer and got one unhelpful response and no follow ups to my replies. Honestly a waste of money.

WHENS THE NEXT UPDATE?????!!!!! 😠

My husband and I have been on the road now for 2 months and at first I was all about this app, there are some areas that appear to be spot on but, the more I use it though the less reliable and accurate I realize it is. The last two campgrounds we chose this app had clear LTE service and we arrived with 1 bar if that of 4G. Decent, but not trust worthy enough for it to be your only source of finding coverage when needed for working full time on the road.

The map data is very hit or miss. I’m smack-dab in the middle of an area that reports it should have strong coverage and I’m reporting “no service”. This is now the second time this has happened to me. Unfortunately for me, as I travel full-time, I’ve relied on this to make decisions of where to go and now I’m stuck trying to figure out if I “commute” to a place that actually has service so that I can work, or do I break my campground reservation and find another spot. Often times the app is correct, but for the times it’s not, it really makes me question all of the data I’m seeing.

This is the very definition of a 5 - star app. Useful and constantly updated every few months. I paid for this app years ago and it’s been updated regularly. Update: It's great that the developers are continually updating this application, they implementing useful features and this app is definitely worth a good look. Update: looks like the developers just updated the app to include AT&T 4G information. I'm hoping to see future updates with more detailed coverage and even more importantly, roaming coverage in Canada for Verizon & AT&T. This application does what it says and does it competently. Updates like more detail, higher resolution maps and a search function would be very helpful. Showing additional coverage in Canada for AT&T and Verizon would also be useful. Hoping to see more updates soon!

This app is great - the only thing I would add/change is that it should say what type of roaming there is (LTE/ HSPA+/3G/2G, and voice and text only), because for example, T-Mobile has only voice/data roaming in some areas, HPAA+ in some areas and LTE in some areas. That is the only area where there could be improvement.

Opted into the $5/year subscription immediately when given the option. I love this app! Thanks! Update: can’t restore my IAP for HD maps.

This app has less detail than the carriers network maps

Mapa de cobertura de t mobile no esta actualizado desde enero 700mhz

Ah. I LOVE this app!!! It's perfect!! Great job devs!! I love how all 4 carriers are here!! Keep up the fantastic work, and I love the updates!!

Version 2017.4 is a great update! The new optional high resolution maps are outstanding and I'm really glad to see that the developers found a way to make the app more sustainable for them to keep developing it. I happily subscribed as soon as it was available. I'm looking forward to the quarterly in-app updates. One feature request that I hope the new background changes and mapping partnership will help to facilitate...I would love to see US Cellular's network added to the app. Their territory covers 23 states and their LTE speed and bandwidth is on par with the bigger guys.

I purchased the upgrade for $4.99 to get HD maps and I think it should include past years so we can see how each carrier is growing in their coverage over time. But otherwise, great app :).

T-Mobile LTE coverage is horribly outdated.

It's really the only app out there that correctly shows coverage maps, It's only downfall is that the maps haven't been updated in 6 months and are a little outdated

This app is great for determining coverage at a glance. I use it every time I go into a new area, and want to see the quality of service to expect.

Will not work at neighborhood level - worthless

While the HD Maps is such a handy feature than before, Some of the maps are outdated while all the companies are adding more LTE cell sites than before like T-Mobile and Verizon aggressively adding cell sites where they can put one. T-Mobile will have band 66 which massive LTE coverage will be expanded. Also AT&T cutting out 2G tech and Verizon shutting down some 1x and 3G sites. Sprint also has coverage in Nebraska which is covered pretty well.

Does exactly what it should! They update it all the time too.

This is the best coverage viewer app in the App Store.

Looks like it just uses carrier advertised maps, and very fuzzy ones at that. No independent data and no useful detail. I deleted the map after the first use. Waste of $3.

This app is very useful for getting a heads up on roadtrips. much more simper to use than the actual carriers maps, specially side by side.

Great app for anyone who's mobile. Enables me to include cellular coverage in my trip planning. Don't leave home without it!

Use it regularly ..... Very good ! Updated pretty regularly! Thanks

As a full time RVer, I use this tool every time I'm getting ready to travel to a new location. Thanks for doing an amazing job building tools.

Great concept for an app but is missing smaller carriers like USCellular, Cellcom, etc

There is nothing here that you can't get for free from the websites. Also what does show up is grossly inaccurate. I live in an area that has almost zero coverage from some vendors, and very good coverage from ATT. The app shows them at the same for all of them. I feel cheated. Definitely no worth the money. Practically a scam.

This app previously had a decent local map which was removed a couple versions ago. Some may be willing to pay a subscription just to see a map. There are many other ways to see coverage maps without paying a subscription fee. The developers remove something that was previously part of the app and now charge for it. This app is no longer recommended.

We live in an area with notoriously spotty coverage, and I was hoping that the app would show which areas actually have good coverage. Instead the entire community shows up as having coverage. Paid the extra $5.00 subscription and downloaded the HD maps, but no difference.

Update 4/17: Still and awesome and excited about the new subscription for HD maps! The maps are a really good gauge of the cell coverage you can expect. Remember they just overlay the carriers map onto Apple maps so if it's wrong it's not the developers fault!

Updated subscription on iPhone 7+. Info page still says "No Subscription". Selecting "Restore Purchases" and app crashes 100% of the time. iPad version works properly. App support site doesn't let you submit a bug report so I'm doing it here. Update: Subscription issue fixed with new update. Updating review to 4 stars. If the app support email address was easier to find it would be 5 stars.

I saw that there was an option for HD maps before I purchased this app. But I did not realize how limited the actual included maps were. I mean, you can't tell within 10 miles whether or not you'll have service. I could've used open signal and gotten that level of uncertainty for free.

This app has been a godsend for me. I'm a professional lorry pilot and this app is my go to resource for ensuring I'll be able to FaceTime with my daughters each night from the road. The new High Res maps are a welcome improvement to what was already an outstanding product.

This app is great if you're traveling, or trying to compare coverage between carriers. My only complaint is that this app isn't updated enough. Carriers are adding coverage all the time, so it would be nice to see this app updated at least once a month. If it were I would give this app 5 stars. Other than that, no issues!

For an app the you have to pay 3$ to download, there should be more than 1-3 updates a year but is still a very good app

A fast and easy way to compare the coverage between carriers.

Below is a list of improvements I think this app could use: Needs Apple Watch support Needs to show coverage for US territories and other countries. Should also show physical locations of cell towers and which tower the user is currently connected to. Option to view topographic maps. Cache map data offline on users device so the app can still be useful when no signal is available.

This app has all the carriers, works even when data isn't available, gets updated frequently, and is easy to use. You won't be disappointed if you get this app.

I purchased this app because the top review on another app From Root Metrics was from the "co-creator" of this app and talked about how his was better/different. They're not even close, this app is literally just an app that displays the carriers coverage maps. Pathetic and not worth $2.99, save yourself some money and pass, I wish I did.

This app is great for an over all viewed coverage. When it comes to fine detail areas this app is a complete waste of 2.99

This app does a great job at letting you compare coverage between carriers. It is also useful if you are curious if a place you are traveling to should have coverage. Being able to toggle the various carriers on and off right from the map screen is great. It's also just as easy to toggle coverage maps between roaming, 2G, 3G, "4G", and LTE.

App crashes when you have a subscription and try to view HD maps. Just wasted $5 on this.

Att has as of January 2017 refarmed all of the edge (2G) coverage and is started implementing it into their LTE (4G) coverage. this map is way old plus TMobile map coverage doesn't break down from 2G to 3G to 4G to LTE (4G) at all. It just all shows up no matter what you click on.

Author has been doing a great job updating this and allowing me as a wireless customer to know what coverage will be like for my carrier when I travel. This app is essential for any cell phone user.

Handy but can’t find how to contact developers after restoring HD purchase without success.

Still won't restore purchases after updates. I've reinstalled several times and it does not fix the problem. I've confirmed that I am subscribed in the Apple store.

This is a great app I’ve used for years. I work for the cellular industry and am constantly surprised how accurate these maps are (knowing how the original source maps are created by the carrier). The developer is regularly updating the app (thanks for X support!) and has not implemented ads or other user unfriendly things. The upgrade subscription is the only additional thing some people like me would want. I’m slowly starting to accept subscription models as developers need a consistent revenue to fund their operations. Totally recommend for the curious and almost required for anyone in the cellular industry!

If you travel around the country. This map if for you!

Basically useless to compare carriers Save your money I was cheated

Not. Other carriers are probably more accurate and honest.
