HELP

Note: With new Android releases, there are restrictions on working with Wi-Fi. If something doesn't work, please read the help section.

If the network list doesn't show on your device with android 6.0+ or later, please check that location permission is granted. If permission is already granted, make sure that location is turned on. Some devices with 7.0+ also require location to be turned on.

If the network name (unknown SSID) is not shown on your device, then your device needs permission and for the latest Android releases location must be turned on.

If no devices are found in your network, press scan (or deep scan for public network). If you're using Android 13, you can increase the timeout by pressing the "..." button.

* For Android 11+, your device's MAC address is blocked with target sdk30.

PRO VERSION

  • In the free version, black theme is available for a two-week trial period.
