Any type and size of space is equally easy to survey, be it a stadium or a small private home.<\/p>\n<p>Active WiFi site survey offered by NetSpot 3 for iPhone and iPad allows you to generate Wi-Fi heatmaps. The color-coded Wi-Fi heatmaps are a great way to understand how the wireless signal distributes throughout the area by evaluating the download and upload speeds in its multiple spots. If the speeds are low in certain spots, then you can tweak your wireless setup and see how the readings change.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s new:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #fff; background: #ff6000;\">&nbsp;New:&nbsp;<\/span> basic WiFi site surveys right on your mobile device<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #fff; background: #ff6000;\">&nbsp;New:&nbsp;<\/span> beautiful simple new UI<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #fff; background: #ff6000;\">&nbsp;New:&nbsp;<\/span> on project home screen select between the list and thumbnail views for easy access to projects<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #fff; background: #ff6000;\">&nbsp;New:&nbsp;<\/span> quick one-tap Internet speed test with automatic history<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #fff; background: #28cf8a;\">\u00a0Improved: <\/span>\u00a0active scanning (measuring the download and upload speeds)<\/li>\n<li>Lots of subtle fixes and backend enhancements<\/li>\n<li>Optimized for iOS 17 &#038; iPadOS 17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nDownload NetSpot from the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/netspot-wifi-map-speed-test\/id1490247223?ls=1\">App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Send your comments and suggestions to <a href=\"mailto:onair@netspotapp.com\">onair@netspotapp.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nDate: 11\/28\/2023<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"google\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"en_US\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"netspotapp\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Build%20Wi-Fi%20heatmaps%20on%20iPhone%20and%20iPad%20with%20NetSpot%203\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are thrilled to announce the new NetSpot 3 for iOS and iPadOS!
