Category Guidelines
-
Why use this category? This is the place to discuss the freedom of mobile surveying. Use this category to ask about conducting site surveys using only your phone or tablet, managing projects within the Android app, or using the Inspector Mode to quickly check signal levels and channel interference without needing a laptop. It is also the ideal spot to discuss the Internet Speed Test feature and how to use the built-in camera to quickly upload floor plans.
-
How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have? Unlike the desktop versions, NetSpot for Android is built for extreme portability. This category focuses on the specific mobile interface, touch-screen navigation, and hardware-specific behaviors like Wi-Fi Scan Throttling (common in newer Android versions). It is distinct because it covers features unique to the mobile app, such as the ability to take a photo of a physical map and start a survey instantly.
