Architecture of Radio App Reviews

Can you make it so sources can be hidden? I.e. Just show wifi or cell towers? Maybe filter by distance? That would make it a tool instead of a novelty.

It doesnt measure anything at all..

Well, I have tried the following and this app is stuck on Load. 1. Deleted the app and reinstalled 2. Reset my phone and reboot 3. Even after updating the IOS This app does it work. Well we would like to have this issue fixed. If you cannot fix your own product. We would like to have our money back.

Worked fine on iPhone 6 Plus just weeks ago. Update killed it. Was nice for the few days it worked.

Its ok I thought it was going to show me the cell towers and most importantly see the wifi I thought it could approximate where the signal is coming from and how close you are to it so finding wifi routers would be a lot easier but Ill just stick with wifi analyzer to do that also doesnt scale well on the iPhone 5s.

If your going to make people pay for an app make sure it works, this app is a load of bs. Loads forever!

WATCH OUT this app charges you extra charges

Payed for a non-loading App... Using iPhone 6 Plus with latest iOS. Please fix!!!.

One of the coolest apps on the App Store. Highly recommend it.

Interesting but not as cool as I was hoping it would be.

It doesnt work. It stays on the "loading" screen indefinitely.

Doesnt load. Ever. It just doesnt load. This app is a scam.

Please fix. Wont load. Cant use. iOS 9 / 6S +

No problems

Truly genuinely the worst app I have ever purchased. Why? Because it doesn’t work, just never loads. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the times and probably paid for it three times too. I was so excited about the capability, but simply junk someone must have created to line their pockets.

This is based upon a database of satellites, cell towers and other networks. As you rotate and move your device, you see where these sources of information is around you. There is this strange sound effect that is a combination of electronic beeps, static and other annoying sounds. It should have better sound effects. There is no way to zoom in or out, choose a point of interest, or get information of the sources. It needs that. There is no configuration tool, either. This is in need of a functionality update. Not even worth 99 cents, as it is designed.

At the moment it shows you where cell towers are and satellites, doing what it is intended to do, and its neat. I would like to see the evolution of this to include being able to see the router you are connected to and what the potential signal strength is.

The graphic on this app are stunning. But some of the symbols are too small, such as the Wi-Fi sources. There are no controls for anything. And I cannot, for the life of me, figure out any use for the app.

Architecture of Radio is a neat app, showing you what the world of radio "would" look like, if you could see in the Electromagnetic spectrum; a better way to put it is that it gives an artists rendition of what the electromagnetic spectrum might be. I say "might", because it is debatable how useful it really is. For example, I cannot see my Wifi router, even when I am standing less than a foot from it. Though the router may be using an encrypted signal, it is still transmitting one, so I should be able to see it regardless. Nor can I see any other routers immediately in the vicinity, such as communication networking devices connected to game consoles (of which, due to the prevalence of online multiplayer games, there should be many). It is also not obvious if the information displayed is in any way accurate or just some approximation of signal points. The software claims to use a database of OpenCellID system registers for its measurements, which is probably true, but that also most likely means it doesnt get updated that often. There is really no way to know without using actual router mapping software and private antenna systems, and plotting all the hotspots manually. At best, it is a cool toy, and at worst, a complete fabrication of information with misleading claims of data mapping. In conclusion, fun but most likely not accurate. It is best used for entertainment purposes only.

No, this app doesnt really "help" in any way. Its a fun app to geek out with for a while. I give it five stars because it doesnt claim to do anything other than what it does. And it does it in a fun, visually engaging manner.
