Understand your mobile devices
Extract and understand the network choices your devices are making
Mobile devices all provide detailed logs but they can be very hard to understand and decipher. nOversight takes the complexity out of device log analysis and presents you will all the information needed to assess, develop and maintain the very best mobile connectivity experiences.
Connection Dashboards
Your device's network connection information - presented simply
All the information about your mobile device's connected networks are available in the standard logs but are very difficult to decipher (and there is often conflicting information). The connection dashboards extract the relevant information and present it to you in real time.
Session Monitor
Understand how devices select and change networks
Mobile devices select and change networks using complex algorithms. Any wireless network design needs a device assessment to truly understand how connection changes impact the real user experience. The session monitor presents all the network changes with helpful information on selection & deselection events.
System Requirements
nOversight is currently available for MacOS and will display iPhone and iPad network information.

FAQ
Is this an iOS app?
The difficulty with iPhones and iPads is that there are no APIs available to show how they make network selection decisions. nOversight overc omes that by allowing you to analyse the available logs on a Mac device
Can I upgrade from Basic to Pro
Will the app be updated regularly
Yes!
All versions of nOversight are eligible for updates. Upon launch, you will be prompted to allow nOversight to automatically check for updates.
Log analysis requires constant updates to track changes to the logs which the OS produce. Feedback from users will also help to develop the application and squash bugs.
How good is the output?
Every effort has been taken to capture and combine information from various log sources to create a robust output.
I'm in charge of a Wi-Fi network. How will this help me
Good Wi-Fi network designs follow well-known design rules, and are measured using professional equipment. But many devices will use undocumented internal algorithms to make network selection choices.
With nOverview you can walk-test devices in your network, allowing you to easily observe their network behaviours and tune your network for the best user experience. If you are looking to understand iPhone experiences in your network, nOverview will help you.
I'm an app developer. How will this help me?
Most apps need to be online to exchange real-time data. Developers are often faced with creating complicated tests to evaluate the performance of their application in changing network environments.
nOverview allows you to understand network changes and the way the device responds. Together with customisation services, your test environment can be enhanced to understand exactly how your apps work on iPhones & iPads in changing network environments.
