Scan for wireless networks with ease
Scanning for wireless networks is now easier and more personalized! AirRadar allows you to scan for open networks and tag them as favourites or filter them out. View detailed network information, graph network signal strength, and automatically join the best open network in range.
Essential when on-the-go
Whether you are driving around looking for wireless networks, stuck in traffic, sitting on the beach, or if you are curious how strong your wireless signal is at home, AirRadar provides a more linear approach to network hunting. Setup a scan frequency, and have new open or closed networks have their name spoken, play alerts, or display notifications.
Personalize your network list
Various other options allow you to customize your network list further, including assigning colors to best open networks and sound cues. Download it today, and take the hardship out of getting an internet connection at a critical time.
Warning: In some countries, such as Germany, it is illegal to connect to open networks which do not belong to you. Only use AirRadar to the extent your local law permits. We disclaim all liability for your actions.

User Reviews
"So useful when traveling! Apple's built-in airport scanner has nothing on what this app can do. Easy to use, nice interface, extremely handy. Highly recommended!" — Richard Kellington
"This app is simple yet very detailed. It covers everything in terms of network details, and the layout of it all is so simple that even someone who doesn't know squat about computers could figure it out easily. I've always appreciated that in an app and I'm sure many out there would agree with me." — Sam Allison
"Super handy app. I use it all the time whenever I go anywhere. Very user friendly." — Lyra M. Foss
"This app picks up on networks that no other app has been able to so far in my experience. You can't go wrong with this one! Very well done!" — Max Porter
"Using this app, I was able to find a good channel for my network no problem. No noise, no hassle, no issues. Highly recommended." — Simon Kraft
"I've been using this app forever and have never had any issues. Sleek, clean and gets the job done - especially when travelling (which I do a lot of). I don't know how I ever really lived without it, to be perfectly honest." — Francis Reynard
"I get stuck in airports a lot and it's always nice to be able to find a decent WiFi connection to pass the time. AirRadar has helped me out with that time and time again. It really is a crucial tool for me and I've recommended it to many a passerby throughout my travels. I only hope they've taken my advice and are now finding it as useful as I do!" — Silas Bonneau
"AirRadar is great. Easy to use and very helpful. I like the structure and ability to categorize, it keeps things simple and clean and easily accessible. I've gone through a few similar apps and I definitely recommend this one!" — Karen Seecal
"Amazingly useful app and amazingly responsive developer. Every issue I've had with this one has been resolved quickly and thoroughly. Koingo has earned my respect in a world where a lot of other developers have failed to do so." — Sarah Winn Keller
"Such a useful app. Can be used effectively in figuring out the deal with faulty wireless connections and covers FAR more information than Apple's built-in Airport feature. A great add-on to any Mac for any user out there, no matter who you are." — Peter Hoffstad
