Various crucial parameters like signal strength as well as data downloading or uploading speeds are imperative when choosing a particular mobile network. RootMetrics has officially released its crowd-sourced app dubbed Cell Phone Coverage Map to track network coverage for Android-powered handsets.
The Cell Phone Coverage Map app apparently presents users with dependable and verified information on the concerned carrier’s network performance. Once the app is installed, it tests the smartphones’ download speeds as well as signal strengths at any point of time on demand. It provides easy-to-read and interactive maps centered on the current location to gauge live network availability.
The comprehensive outcome will be further aggregated with those of other people employing the same app in order to chalk out a single coverage map across carriers. The resultant coverage map will represent real-world tests and not some random statics divulged by carriers.
Cell Phone Coverage Map is compatible with Android 2.2 and 2.3 smartphones and can be downloaded via the Android Market absolutely free of cost. This app is also available for iPhone users through iTunes.
