1.0
The first release. Five tabs, one walking heatmap.
What's new
- Speed tab: a real download, upload, ping, and jitter test with a clear ISP → Router → Device picture so you can see at a glance where the slowdown is coming from.
- Wi-Fi Report: every speed test produces a plain-English rating of your connection for streaming, gaming, video calls, home office, and browsing.
- Survey tab (Pro): walk your home while WiFi Buddy paints a live signal heatmap onto a floor plan — no extra hardware, just your iPhone.
- Insights report: every completed survey produces an A–F graded coverage report, named dead zones, and a personalized “what to do next” list (mesh vs. extender vs. reposition vs. channel change).
- Signal tab: a quick check of how good your Wi-Fi feels right now, with one-tap access to Klaus.
- Devices tab: see every device on your Wi-Fi, automatically named and labeled. Mark devices you trust and get alerted when something new joins.
- Klaus, your friendly Wi-Fi sidekick: a pixel-art assistant with clear, plain-English answers to the questions people actually ask about home Wi-Fi. Free users get a question to try; Pro unlocks unlimited chat.
- Floor plan templates: choose Blank, Apartment, or Upstairs for the survey backdrop — with editable room names so the heatmap matches your home.
- Re-survey reminders so you can spot whether your dead zones moved after a router change, a remodel, or a firmware update.
Pro & pricing
- WiFi Buddy Pro: $3.99/month or $34.99/year, with a 3-day free trial on first purchase.
- Trial-aware paywall copy: “Start 3-Day Free Trial” CTA, charge-date timeline, and a “cancel anytime in Settings” disclosure.
- Billing-retry grace period: a failed renewal won't yank Pro features mid-session — a slim banner explains the retry window so you can update your payment method without interruption.
Privacy & platform
- Privacy by construction: surveys, device lists, and chat history live only on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No servers.
- Camera feed is used only to track your iPhone's motion as you walk — it's never recorded, screenshotted, or sent anywhere.
- iOS 17+ universal app for iPhone and iPad, with light/dark/system appearance and a fresh traffic-light Wi-Fi app icon.
