Just to let you know, but not to rub salt into the wound, it worked
just fine for me and my daughter on our Android phones.

It's a VERY NICE utility, as getting the NOISE level is critical 
when debugging WiFi connectivity issues.

Without that, you're just shooting blindly when your Signal Strength
drops below, oh, about 10 decibels of the noise level on a typical
mobile device.

The signal strength meter on the other recommended app, with the 
beeping, is also very nice, as you can walk around the room and
easily see five or six decibels difference just depending on where
in the room you sit.

Bearing in mind that six decibels is FOUR TIMES the signal strength, 
this is a tool that is absolutely required for anyone who really
needs to understand why they can't connect.

Of course, I do understand that, here in the USA, we often have
such HUGE signal strength, that none of this measurement matters.

It only matters when it matters, and it doesn't matter when things
are going so well that you have low noise and high signal strength.
