A Short about this app
Here is a 30 sec long Short showing what you can do with WiFi Map Explorer:
What makes your team great?
I'm an independant developer at spare time. As a hobbyist, what makes me rather unique is that I have the same involvement when contributing to kernel development for an open-source operating system, for instance, than when building an app with a GUI. I simply love programming: one day when I was 10, in year 1980, I discovered home computing, and this day I decided to become a programmer. Now, I'm an network engineer and hold a PhD in computer science. I've developped lots of free software, like a novel's author that wants to be read by people, to share his ideas and mind!
Listen to the background music of the above Short, I've written it, then I've recorded it on a grand piano: I like to work on every part of my apps!
Provide a list of key features
This app main feature is drawing a 2D heat map of the user's wireless network coverage, using a set of measurements and an interpolation algorithm (variation of the Shepard's method to compute an Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation). It can take throughput measurements with only one mobile device, but it also is able to take far more accurate local measurements if you run the app on two devices connected to the same wireless network. To compute and draw the interpolated map on the fly during measurements, the algorithm implemented is multi-threaded. A secondary feature is that measurements are displayed on a very smooth rolling chart built with SpriteKit.
Tell us your story...
Drawing heat map of wireless network coverage with a radio-frequency spectrum analyzer is very expensive. On the contrary, it is very cheap to draw such a map using this app that takes accurate local measurements and implements a fast, parallelized and optimized algorithm based on a demonstrated method to compute interpolated values. No other app on the App Store seems to be able to draw a WiFi coverage heat map based on such a scientific method. Moreover, even if the app is not for free, the sources are available on github for transparency and teaching.
