User Reviews

  • Great WIFI tool. Compiled version 3.6, running on raspbian stretch on the raspberry pi platforms. Very useful.

  • Simply what I was looking for, a simple and easy tool to scan spots from a wifi network with easy configuration and graphical intuitive interface (time line) for linux (Ubuntu). It worked like a charm just out of the box! Great!!

  • Just installed on Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit. Quick and easy install and seems to be working well but have one issue. On apt-get update I get the following: GPG error: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 55E2097C08E6D617 Didn't stop me from installing but had to disable to stop the nag whenever I update. Will have to remember to periodically re-enable to see if it's fixed so I don't miss updates i guess.

  • Works very well, Mint Precise.
