Fluke Networks' AirMagnet AirMapper App

Fluke Networks' AirMagnet AirMapper App offers Wi-Fi surveying on Android devices, supporting the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It’s basically a simpler version of Windows-based AirMagnet Survey. A feature-limited demo version is free, while the Pro version is priced at $199. The demo version allows you to perform a full signal-based survey and shows coverage on a heat-map, but you’re limited to saving a single project and exporting/reporting is disabled. The Pro version also allows you to perform throughput surveys, showing data rates on the heat-map.
