I think a WiFi scanner written in Qt/QML and using the connectivity-api is not only useful on the phone, but also the desktop, since there is currently no user-friendly Linux GUI app available for this purpose.Įxposing information about detected WiFi networks through the connectivity-api would not only benefit WiFi scanner apps, but also enable location-based services. Some WiFi scanners hit the 50 million downloads mark in the Android App Store. I think a platform should support this kind of application because many users need the functionality to debug and optimize their setups, and a mobile device has the perfect form factor if you’re walking around trying to find out how strong the signal is at a given location and/or which frequency band and channel to use. One of the Ubuntu Touch apps I’m currently developing is a WiFi scanner. Extending the Ubuntu Touch connectivity-api for WiFi scanning
