TrueSignal

We have all had the frustration of seeing signal bars on our phones, but the phone won't connect. Texts won't send, apps won't load. At one workplace, we described these as "fake bars"...we could see the signal bars, but actual coverage was nonexistent. After dropping a call from my boss's boss, I went down the rabbit hole and discovered signal bars only show signal strength...not your actual phone connection. I couldn't find an app to show "actual" connection, so I built it myself! My app, TrueSignal, shows your actual connection - not just the signal bars. It can be used anywhere - at your home, in the yard, in the field, and anywhere in the world. It will tell you if you have an actual connection, or not. The basic app is free and is entirely usable to answer the "connected or not" question. The "Pro" side of the app has some really cool in-depth functions for determining signal quality, charting signals, the direction of optimal signal, and more. I'm honestly quite proud of what I've been able to build. And for the price...99 cents (USD) per month...it's a bargain. Whether you use the free side, or go Pro, the app is 100% private. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. I've tried hard to make this app privacy-forward, which is ideal for testing network connection, particularly in remote and new locations.
