Network Cell Info Lite is an application designed for individuals who want to enhance their mobile device experience by optimizing their cellular and Wi-Fi signals. The app provides users with detailed information about their current connection, including the specific cellular tower they are connected to and an overview of their signal's history over time. By offering these insights, users can better understand their network environment and make informed decisions to improve their connectivity.
One of the main features of the app is the Bad Signal Reporter. This feature allows users to report instances of poor signal quality, including situations with no signal or weak, fringe coverage. These reports can then be compiled into a Bad Signal Report that is shared with mobile network operators worldwide. The idea is to improve network quality globally by providing operators with real-time data on where signal issues frequently occur, assuming users give their consent for data collection.
Network Cell Info Lite supports various network types, including 5G, LTE+, LTE, IWLAN, UMTS, GSM, and CDMA, allowing compatibility with a broad range of devices and carriers. The app offers almost real-time monitoring of network signals, and users can perform speed tests for Wi-Fi and mobile internet with a single tap. It also supports dual-SIM devices, providing gauges and signal plots for each SIM card, along with detailed network information displayed on maps and in logs. Features like the Personal Best Signal Finder and the Crowdsourced Best Signal Finder help users identify locations with optimal signal strength, leveraging both their history and crowd data.
Additional capabilities include customizable measurement settings, the ability to export measurement data, and detailed status information for both network and device. The app also displays cell locations using services like Mozilla Location Service, although it does not support cell tower data for CDMA networks. For those seeking advanced features and more comprehensive monitoring tools, the app offers a paid version and a Pro subscription plan, which provide access to additional gauges, ad removal, and other enhanced functionalities.
