Signal Alert App Reviews

Hi! Im a fresh user of this app that really satisfies my need. In fact, I want to be informed of any signal loss because I am on-call for professional reason and cannot afford to miss any call. I do not use logs and locations but this could be helpful according to your use of the app. Two quick wins that could be added according to me : 1/ It would be great to be informed of signal loss even when connected to WiFi. I really look forward to seeing this improvement and hope a solution will be found soon. 2/ It would also be great to be able to change the alert : the simple SMS tone is too short and I am worried I could miss it if iPhone was in my pocket for instance. The possibility to change for a longer ringtone, or alert that doesnt stop until it is cutoff would be perfect.

If you do not allow access to GPS for privacy, and want to use only as alert, the app does not work in background.

Signal alert has secondary functionality to signal when battery is low, by vibrating and sending a popup notice. The fact that these signals also appear when the device is charging doesnt give confidence about the quality for the remaining parts of the application. I cant find any use why to signal that battery is low when being charged. The WiFi/Signal alert function also has the habit of sending more notifications than is good. Especially in edge cases where there is no signal and a few seconds later there is signal again. Notifications every second are pointless too. Request to the developer is to add a lot of user preferences to let the user control when notifications are sent and when not. And no, signaling low battery when charging is not a candidate for a user preference. User preferences could be: - enable/disable location based services (i didnt find any reason why the current app version needs any location based capabilities) - custom battery alert levels (3%, 5%, 10% would be of my interest, not 50%) - no (gsm) signal messages within: (a) ... seconds/minutes (5) and/or (b) ... meters/miles (100) when using location service (dont notify too often) - enable/disable gsm signal alert (when I would only want WiFi or battery alerts) - action to take when entering WiFi range: (enable airplane mode) [priority: low] - action to take when leaving WiFi range: (disable airplane mode) [priority: low] - or at least open the phones general settings instead of signal alert app when tapping on a WiFi alert message, to quickly turn wifi/airplane on/off [priority: low] - number of alert repeats (when out of range and another signal might be available == airplane mode enabled or wifi disabled), interval (time) between repeats

Will not work in background, only open app

Does not work in background

Nice app so far. the only thong is that I need a NOISY alert that wakes me up when the WiFi shuts down - not only a polite "bleep". Maybe an additional setting to tones can be implemented quickly?

Exactly what I was looking for! My only suggestion would be if you could view a log file of when & where (using the GPS coordinates) service was lost and restored. Then you could physically view on a map where particular dead zones are. *edit - author just added a map view! Now this app is perfect! I havent tried the new map view out yet, but thanks! Thanks for the great app!

I downloaded this app because I want to log data to prove to my cell provider that I have intermittent signal reception even though I live very near one of their towers. This app logged a signal drop within the first 5 minutes and displayed it on the map. This is great(!), however it does not appear to give a history log of all drops at that location. Right now I can only tell my provider that it dropped at least once; it would be more useful in my application if I could show history of date stamped drops over time. Nonetheless, it appears to do what it says it will do. Good job so far. Please add this feature! Thanks.

It says I always get a signal, even when I dont. So it cant sense a signal lost, thus it does not work. Im on ios 5.

Battery alerts were why I got this app and they work well. I have some suggestions: - config low batt percentages - unique or configable low batt alert sound - wifi / 3G loss alert is too sensitive. Needs to have a delay or more hysteresis (eg transition needs to last longer than x seconds) so a spotty area doesnt cause 10+ loss of signal alerts in a few seconds. - have it possible to start automatically after phone reboot. I keep forgetting to start it. Update: under iOS5 the alerts can be configured as banners that stay out of the way, so that is no longer an issue.

Is it possible to make it so a person can change the alert sound please?

I am a logger and it helps to find a usable signal even in the most remote areas.

I have an iphone 6 with ios 8.2 and this app just locks up .. Can not open any of the settings etc. Might be better if they update it to be compatible :(

Doesnt work... Only warns you of a signal lost IF THE APP IS RUNNING..!!!!!! Wont notify you if the app is running in background... No good...

Doesnt do what it claims. No logging of outages. It will notify you if signal drops but no way to see any history. Email export function just sends a blank email. Very frustrating. At least it is only $.99 down the drain.

Now I can see my phone lost signal all the time. No wonder my calls drops!!!!!!!

Nice app, runs without me knowing about it, found out i didnt have a cell at my girlfriends house!

Great idea. As a businessman this is very critical.

Love this little utility, very useful for the mobile masses!

Even in my pocket lets me know if i lost service, you might want to turn vibrate on if you want to silence the alert, it will still vibrate to let you know cell is gone... Nice Update! Thanks for the MUTE for wifi, just what was needed.
