More About NetMonster

NetMonster collects, shows and stores information about nearby cell towers. Each tower has its unique set of identifiers and NetMonster will show you them. In select areas and countries precise locations are available.
All cells that your phone actively connected to are continuously saved into log till you terminate the app. You can manually correct the location, browse cells on the map, filter them and eventually export all the data.

NetMonster also visualises signal changes and provides short description what given measurement means and how it affects reception quality or theoretical maximal speed.

Supported networks are GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, 4G LTE, 5G NSA and 5G SA. When it comes to LTE, NetMonster also detects aggregated carriers (so-called LTE-Advanced). For areas where 5G NSA is available you can see if NSA is in use or just deployed, carrier aggregation in 4G+5G NSA is also available.

NetMonster is based on open-source library NetMonster Core:

Not being usefull, I m in jio with samsung m14. Selected 'only 5g', but when m out of 5g network. That shift to 5g/lte without confirmation. Useless.

Great app. Really useful when you need to orient cellular signal booster. Just open the app, drive around and give app some time to process results. Then look at the map to find a better option. It's also possible to extract locations manually from log using context menu.

Great app for seeing cell connection data and identifying which carrier your phone is connected to! On Android 12 I no longer see Carrier Aggregation info, and it would be neat if we could see band number and frequency for all. For example AT&T's Band 14 and 12 both show up as 700 and AWS doesn't show the frequency.

Love the app really cool, not someone who deals with mobile networking. Would love to see the ability for two or more phones to connect and by simulatiously taking measurments that are accurately time stampped create a more accurate location finding capabilities. I am not perticularly versed in the technology but I am sure you could as they say in csi and stuff "twaiangwuwaite" the signal.

They've put the basic functionalities of this app behind paywall. You can no longer see cell tower locations without paying also targeted ads are here

Super complicated. No user documentation. After playing with it for a bit of time, all it ever displays is my T-Mobile phone, even though I have a Tracfone Doesn't seem to be any setting to select anything but a T-Mobile carrier. When I purchased this dumb app, it said it shows all the mobile networks around you. It does NOT do what it claims, but I guess for three stupid dollars, I get just three dollars worth of details. Lousy app.

Map not showing the cell towers anymore, last updated in May 2023, without the Map showing towers near you so it's basicaly useless. Please FIX IT ASAP THIS APP IS DEAD ! No Response from the Developer, Main Feature was Tower location which it DOESN'T SHOW over a Year Now ! Sad !!!

Hope to unlock my device that Samsung has plagued. Samsung no longer allows band selection but with this app I was able to force my device to 5G only nr bands only in the us. Now I'm operating on Native boost infinite Network and able to make them receive phone calls.

it doesn't work on samsung s21 5G, when I tried to set it to NR Only mode the network just went blank. I can't make call or using Internet at all. Please fix

The main reason why I installed this app was to check the location of cell towers. Now they have put it behind a subscription fee. Never have I ever been more disappointed.

It doesn't show the nearby cell towers on the map anymore. This issue has not been fixed since past few versions.

I have paid for this and it did not deliver its services, it is trying to connect to a different ISP in my country UAE instead of my SIM card ISP provider when I set connection to NR. My ISP have NR + NSA CELLULAR COVERAGE. I have tried to untick the filter when searching for connections to my ISP but the software does not understand and still try to connect to a different ISP instead of my ISP which means I have no connection at all or phone calls

Not showing the tower location without paying. Useless app.

Well . Nice new update but something is missing . The good thing about this app was that it showed for 4G also the Frequency in case of CA . Now it just shows 3CA and bandwidth 20Mhz +10+10. It is a nice addition , great but main feature is lost. Please bring back freq like 1800 ( 20Mhz ) + 1800 (10Mhz) + 2100 (10Mhz) . Mainly app was awesome in showing what Bands are aggregated. Unfortunately that is lost now. Great updates though but don't take features away .

Hmmm... Privacy policy - "NetMonster does not contain advertisements". Update app - oh look, consent screen for targeted ads, followed by ads. Checks changelog for mention of ads - nothing. I'm not against ads as such, as long as they're not too dominant, but why all the secrecy? That aside, the app is great and does pretty much what you'd expect (very handy for checking bandwidth in use), except for cell locations which are - at best - eclectic.

This software is finished. Completely ruined. The author has introduced a subscription system for one month or for a year. for Premium version. There is no lifetime purchase option. This is catastrophically bad. It is impossible to continue using this software.

Downloaded and used to check if I had interference with tower. I then downloaded other similar. Came back to this one. Use it with a booster to ensure I stay with 5g in my area. There are others I get switched to. Confidence in security and tech control makes me happy. Netmonster earned its fee !

This is a very good app, shows me all network stats and I can put towers on the map. I'm on free version. For everyone wondering why "5G only" option in their area doesn't work is because it probably uses 5G NSA which needs LTE to work, if you have 5G SA in your area then it works Update: 7/30/2024: still good but now I have a glitch where 5G SA cells locations won't be added to my log even after I add the location my self

Indeed this this app is very good: it shows information on neighbor carriers and the aggregated carriers, which I have not found in any other similar app I tried. Thank you! The UI is pretty simple but works. It would be GREAT if it would also show the CQI for each used carrier. Also it would be helpful if it would also show the LTE/NR band numbers (such as: 5, or n5), currently it shows the frequency band, like AWS for LTE band 4, or 700 for LTE Band 13.
