ROBERTCOOGAN  Very handy, very easy to use. Beats AirRadar hands-down. I have used it for quite a while (in conjunction with my WiFire), and it is excellent at determining the accessibility of local signals.

KLKTRK  Love this app!

Here's the obligatory feature request:

Provide a way to sort by signal strength--maybe just by clicking on the signal strength column.

Would also be nice if you could filter for "only open" networks.

I know, I know, it's not actually signal strength, but throughput, no need to flame me.

NOHAWK  Has anyone yet found the fix for the accumulation of vast numbers of error messages in /var/log/system.log apparently due to an outdated format being used in a plist file associated with iStumbler when running on a macbook (Leopard)?

Thanks!

ANONYMOUS  Greetings…

Beige G4 600 mHz running OS 10.3.9 :-)

0.94 works without problems…

0.95 will not launch…

Console provides the following:

dyld: /Applications/Utilities/iStumbler 0.95.app/Contents/MacOS/iStumbler can't open library: /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

Do you find this helpful?

ALF WATT  Please send bug reports to help@istumbler.net, we're always happy to help track down a crashing bug!

iStumbler does require Mac OS 10.3.9 or better because it is a universal binary.
