What do you use today instead of NetLens (https://netlens.fyi/) (a competitor, a spreadsheet, doing it by hand)? Compared with that, what would make NetLens better or worse for you, and what would keep you on your current option? Also say the maximum you would pay per month in USD (0 if nothing).

Currently, I'm using a combination of walking around with my Android phone and iPad, noting down signal strengths, and sometimes I'll use a basic WiFi analyzer app. It's a manual process. NetLens sounds like it automates that visualization, which would be much better. The fact that it stays on the device and doesn't require an account is a plus. The core functionality of mapping the signal across the house directly addresses my problem of inconsistent WiFi. The main thing that would keep me on my current method is if the accuracy or ease of use wasn't significantly better than what I do now, or if it required constant fiddling. I'd consider paying $5 per month for the Pro version if it proved reliable and saved me significant time.

At the moment, I'm using my phone to walk through the apartments, checking the Wi-Fi signal in each room. It's a manual process, and frankly, it takes up valuable time during turnovers. The idea of an app that maps the signal visually is appealing, especially if it could save me those trips. However, I'd need to see how accurately it works in older buildings like mine, with all the stone walls. If it genuinely streamlines the process and gives me reliable data quickly, it would be a significant improvement. I'm not entirely clear on the "one-time purchase" model mentioned for Pro, as I typically prefer monthly subscriptions for software, but I'd be willing to pay around $15 per month for a tool that proves its worth in efficiency and accuracy.

Currently, I rely on my Android device and some basic apps for WiFi surveys, which often means a lot of manual note-taking and mapping. Sometimes I even use spreadsheets, but it's quite time-consuming. NetLens's augmented reality heatmap feature sounds very promising, especially the idea of seeing the signal strength visually as I walk. That would certainly improve my pre-installation checks and reduce the time spent troubleshooting. The fact that everything stays on the device is also important for my workflow. I would consider paying for a one-time purchase if it proves reliable and efficient in real-world use. The pricing isn't entirely clear on whether it's a subscription or a single purchase for Pro, but I'd be willing to pay up to $30 USD for a lifetime Pro license.

Currently, Rohan and I walk around the office with our Android devices, meticulously noting down WiFi signal strength in a spreadsheet. It's a bit tedious, but it gets the job done. NetLens looks like it could automate a lot of that data collection and visualization, which would be a huge time-saver. The idea of seeing a heatmap drawn in real-time is quite appealing. However, I'm concerned about the Android vs. iPhone limitations mentioned, as we primarily use Android. Also, the pricing is a bit unclear; is the Pro version a one-time purchase or a recurring subscription? If it's a one-time purchase, I'd consider paying around $20 USD for it.

Right now, I use a mix of my iPhone for quick checks and detailed spreadsheets to track WiFi signal strength across my properties. It's a bit manual, but it gets the job done. The idea of NetLens mapping the signal automatically sounds really efficient, especially with the AR features. It could definitely save me time compared to my current method. The main thing that would keep me using my spreadsheets is if the app isn't user-friendly or if the data export isn't robust enough for my comparative analysis. I'm willing to pay up to $20 per month for a tool like this, assuming it streamlines my process significantly.

I use a competitor's app on my tablet now. It’s alright for client walkthroughs, but the real pain is getting the data out and into a report. I'd need NetLens to be significantly better at exporting and integrating with my workflow to switch. If it can genuinely speed up the reporting process, saving me hours of manual spreadsheet work, that would be a big plus. I'm not keen on subscription models for single tools like this, especially with a one-time purchase option. I'd consider paying around $10 per month, but only if it proved itself significantly better than what I have now.

Currently, I rely on manual walk-throughs and detailed notes in our facilities log to track WiFi coverage, which is quite time-consuming. The idea of an augmented reality heatmap tool like NetLens sounds very efficient for identifying dead spots. However, my main concern would be its compatibility with our existing network infrastructure and if the data it provides is detailed enough for us to act upon. Also, I'm unclear about the reporting features for our logbook. We use a spreadsheet for budget tracking, and I'd need to see how this tool integrates or if it would add another layer of complexity. I would be willing to pay $15 per month for NetLens Pro, given it proves to be a reliable and time-saving solution for our school's WiFi issues.

Currently, I use my Android phone with various apps and sometimes even just pen and paper to map WiFi signal strength on-site. NetLens could be better if it offers more detailed reporting options and perhaps integrates with other diagnostic tools I use. What would make it worse is if it's not accurate or if the interface is complicated, slowing me down. The main thing keeping me with my current method is its cost – it's free. If NetLens offers significantly better, faster, and more accurate mapping with clear exportable reports, I might consider paying up to $10 per month for a Pro version, but that's my absolute maximum.

Right now, I just walk around my apartment with my phone and jot down notes about signal strength in my notes app. It's pretty basic, but it gets the job done for diagnosing issues when I'm gaming or on a call. If NetLens could provide a more visual, definitive heatmap that's easy to understand, that would be a clear improvement over my current manual method. However, I'd need to see how accurate and user-friendly it is before I'd switch. The one-time purchase for Pro sounds reasonable if it's a one-and-done thing. I'd be willing to pay up to $15 for NetLens Pro, as a one-time purchase.

Currently, we are using a combination of manual checks with our phones and a very basic spreadsheet to log any issues. It's time-consuming and not very visual. NetLens seems promising because the heatmap feature could quickly show us where the problems are, especially in our older building with thick walls. The ability to see the signal strength visually would be a significant improvement. What I'm not clear on is how well it handles multiple access points and if the data can be easily shared with my supervisor for reports. I would consider paying around $15 per month for a tool that streamlines these checks, but I need to see how it performs with our specific infrastructure.
