Conclusion:
Although this app isn’t considered a must have for your Android phone, it nevertheless delivers enough to be worth looking at. The idea is very simple, it allows cell phone users to be able to provide a coverage map for all of the cellular areas from their own data. Cellumap has a website out there that allows you to pick which country, provider, and also the level of technology that you want to put on top of a map based on the Google Maps photo. All you have to do is download the app, pull up the screen with all of the data and then submit your data through either the Data 1X or the Auto-Send. The only cons to this app is that the app will only send out the data if it is currently in the foreground. Also, the coverage map that you create can’t actually be pulled up and viewed on your mobile phone, you actually have to go to the website in order to see what the coverage map looks like. Last of all, the app is very crowd- sourced so it can be a bit of an annoyance.
Android users that have tried this app have given this app 3.5 out of 5 stars. Although the rating is not the best out there, the nice thing about the app is that it is completely free for you to download.
