I think there’s significant value in an iOS version since it’s very hard to prepare a wifi network for phones and tablets when you have the point of view of a MacBook that has much better reception. I definitely found the Mac version useful because I found the decibel threshold where the phones and tablets would not work, but having the point of view of an iPad or iPhone would help a lot. Maybe we could superimpose both surveys on top one another and it would make for a very interesting report. You definitely need more APs if you plan on supporting there devices or have a difficult RF environment.
I wish there was a way of getting Apple’s attention, maybe make it sync via iCloud with the Macs and make it save all the data on iCloud? Export to numbers? I don’t know if the carrot on a stick approach would be fruitful, there are a LOT of developers, but maybe some PR at WWDC?
The portability, extra battery run time, and the “iPad/iPhone” point of view would definitely make it worthwhile for me. It’s a shame one would have to jailbreak just to be able to run such a useful and harmless app. (I’d do it if there were no other option)
I also think something might be possible in the realm of “pinging the default gateway and measuring packet loss” .. that might help out if superimposed on the MacBook version of the survey.
While I’m at it, I also have an idea for some sort of “smart zoom” in the map and support for vector graphics, so you could actually come in and see the room number in the blueprint.
Hope this is useful!
Thanks again for such an excellent piece of software
