This app has one 5 Star rating and seven 1 star ratings. Appware, Adware, Tupperware, I'd be wary of this one.

WiFi Overview 360 Pro is the 4/19 app.

Now with a powerful "WiFi Sniffer", who expanded the Android function enormously. "WiFi Sniffer" looking for open WLANs, gives a notification (sound, pop-up text window, vibrate and text-to-speech - if you want) and can connect automatically.

With this tool you can manage and optimize your used wireless network and with one look you'll get detailed information of the WLANs (WLAN name (SSID), signal strength, channelnumber, encryptionin - open or not and much more) in your environment.

The tab "Ch check" (channel checker) and "Ch. radar" (channel radar) are powerful tool to optimize your own wlan network. For best performance your network must use a channel or frequency range where are no other wireless networks or little as possible. WiFi Overview 360 gives you the best choice for the channel.

And yet, it's the best WiFi app I've seen, by far.

Have you used it?

 

[Spider]

Yes, and it really gives you a lot of information. Also, that Clueful app only rates it as a moderate risk. About half my apps fall into that category.

Normally retails for $1.70 on Google and $1.56 on Amazon.
Gotta wonder why the price differs..

Prestige tax. Google typically markets to a higher class of clientele, and they have to pay for that privilege.

You should rate it on Amazon. They could use the support.

I will go with the reviewer that said it has no permissions and is completely safe for kids.

Looks nice for the kiddies, but I was hoping for Easter Mahjong.

Cryptic Caverns is the 4/21 app.

You are stranded on an island after a terrible shipwreck in which you are the sole survivor. You discover a thriving civilization once lived here and delve deeper to uncover the mystery of their disappearance. During your adventure you will pick up items, encounter characters, and solve puzzles that will bring you one step closer to uncovering the lost past of the island.

It was the caverns that held the key. The caverns were there before the incident that caused the collapse of the city. Since the shipwreck, you’ve heard legends of an ancient civilization that once lived far below the surface. The island has changed since the incident and you intend to find out why.

This looks like a fun game, basically no permissions and not a real large file size. No adware or IAPs. Would somebody be so kind as to install it and explain it to me? It is one of those games where you go from area to area, looking for useable objects with a specific objective in mind. I think they figured that fans of this particular style would already know how to proceed. Right now I am stuck on a deserted island with 5 gold coins I have no use for and a picture that is supposed to be needed somewhere else, or something.
