RevenueCredibleCredibility 65/100

iOS app that uses iPhone LiDAR while you walk through your home to build a 3D model and map Wi‑Fi signal strength (visualized as a dollhouse view with dead zones).

Problem it solves. Helps users identify Wi‑Fi dead zones and where to move a router or add an extender to improve coverage.

Who pays. homeowners/renters with iPhones (LiDAR‑capable) who want to optimize home Wi‑Fi

Market. consumer utilities / network diagnostics / home tech

How it makes money. in‑app purchases/subscription or one‑time purchase (post mentions yearly and one‑time price points in comments)

Claimed. first paying users (no amounts given); goal: 50 paying users by Sept 30

App is live on the App Store with a provided URL, the founder reports 900+ downloads and 'first paying users', and community comments discuss pricing and privacy rather than calling it a promo or fake.

“It’s great but very, very expensive for what it is. And a trial would go a long way - I want better proof of what it can do before I commit to paying anything” ▲ 30
“29€ a year or 35€ once for WiFi scan ? Let me use it at least once to know if it even works before asking for money in the app onboarding” ▲ 25
