    It used to have a feature that would beep faster the closer you got to an AP. I used it in cafes and libraries to figure out where to sit for the best WiFi. But they killed it, and I have no idea why :'(

      I think it’s an OS limitation which throttles the Wifi scanning to slower intervals (and also requires you to enable location(??))

        That doesn’t make sense to me. I have root. I should be able to allow the app any scanning interval I want.

          I think you can disable the “WiFi scan throttling” option in the Developer Options, which might remove this default limitation

          Still no idea why Location is needed for this

          Edit: Apparently it’s a safety feature against malicious developers who can pinpoint your location based on scan results. To make the user aware, they force you to enable location permission
