Force the icon to go green

If a metric is too high (e.g. ping is >70ms) and it’s showing as amber/red you can now hover it and ‘accept’ it to increase the threshold.

It applies to the currently connected network only so you can teach it your preferences. Maybe the wi-fi in your local cafe works fine but jitter is always a bit high, so now you can make it go green.

Insane Mode

In WhyFi Radar if you’re in a dense city and you want to see all of the 500 routers around you, now you can.

Less jargon

The tips and advice given for improving poor metrics is now easier to understand.
