AirWitness for Android · Private beta

Take the investigation
with you.

Walk to the spot where the Wi-Fi fails. Watch the signal, investigate the connection and bring back evidence you can explain.

AirWitness brings Wi-Fi troubleshooting to Android, with a touch-friendly workspace for walking tests, guided diagnostics and project notes.

From the problem spot to the handoff

A field workflow.
On the device in your hand.

Four main destinations keep the job close: Now for the current connection, Walk for moving through a site, Evidence for the case, and Tools for deeper checks.

Observe

Start with the connected network. Move through the site and watch how signal readings change.

Investigate

Choose a workflow that matches the complaint and review its findings and live output.

Keep and share

Save the walk, collect notes and attachments, and export a copy for the next person.

01 / Walk

Put the complaint
in its place.

Use Problem here or Mark this spot to add context as you walk. Follow RSSI over time and compare it with the channel occupancy view.

The screen shows the connected signal alongside nearby networks. Band availability depends on the device and what Android exposes.

Android limits nearby-network scanning, so those traces can update in steps. A signal observation and a connectivity test answer different questions.

02 / Guided diagnostics

Give the symptom
a starting point.

Choose from User Experience Test, Slow or Unstable Network, Captive Portal Failure, DNS & Name Resolution Health, and VPN / Tunnel Path MTU.

Each workflow explains its questions and evidence goals. Review live output, severity-ranked findings and per-target verdicts on the connected network.

Configure test destinations under Settings → Workflow targets.

The result is more than a score

A workflow can collect native Wi-Fi state and run network-path checks, while explaining which information Android cannot provide.

The example shows a completed slow-network investigation, including traceroute timeouts and the connected network’s verdict. These are results from this run, rather than a promise about another network.

03 / Reports

Keep the explanation
with the readings.

Open a saved walking test report to review the recorded session, observations and available Wi-Fi quality factors.

The report distinguishes radio observations from connectivity probes and calls out unavailable measurements. Export a copy to view it in a browser; interactive charts may be unavailable in the in-app viewer.

04 / Evidence

Leave with a case,
not a camera roll.

Organize work into projects and sessions. Add technician notes, attach files or pictures, and keep diagnostic evidence with the investigation.

Projects and originals stay in private app storage. Use Export project when you need an external copy.

The Tools screen provides access to event readiness, full network checks and their analysis, guided diagnostic workflows, and engineering tools for snapshots, correlation and analysis.

Settings keeps test targets and app configuration close to the investigation.

Built for Android’s capabilities

Know what the device
can tell you.

AirWitness records available evidence and identifies platform limits so missing data does not become a false conclusion.

Device and permissions

The current Android beta targets Android 12 or later on ARM64 devices. Wi-Fi visibility depends on hardware, Android permissions and location services. These screenshots were taken on an Android tablet.

Wi-Fi scanning

Android controls scan frequency and which Wi-Fi details apps can read. Nearby-network charts may update less often than the connected signal; bands and readings vary by device.

Platform boundaries

The Android app does not offer desktop packet capture or monitor mode. Ordinary Android apps cannot read the complete system ARP table or release and renew the system DHCP lease; workflows label these limits.
