Network Explorer is an easy-to-use and comprehensive network scanning and reporting utility. Among the features provided are:

1. Wi-Fi networks scanning (including a dynamic signal strength graph)

2. Wi-Fi devices scanner (including a port scanning function)

3. Bonjour services discovery

4. Wi-Fi Direct devices discovery

5. Bluetooth devices scanning

6. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices scanning

Please note that this app requests location permissions because it is possible to determine a user's location based on proximity to publicly available Wi-Fi networks. Any app that provides network scanning functions like this one will also require location permissions. This is a requirement enforced by Google. Network Explorer does not attempt to actually determine, save or transmit the user's location even when the location permission is given.
