In the process of looking for something completely different, I stumbled across this WiFi tool. Still only does 20 MHz channels, but it has some nice features that make it pretty useful.

It's WiFi Explorer from Nuts about Nets (http://nutsaboutnets.com/wifiexplorer/).

They have a few other nifty tools as well.

I found (at least) two "WiFi Analyzer"(s). So far, I've tried each of the ones below. Comments below each one.

WiFi Analyzer (#1) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.webprovider.wifianalyzer&hl=en

    Pretty cheesy.  Not much information. Hard to use.

WiFi Analyzer (#2) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en

    This one's not too bad.  Relatively easy to use.


WiFi Analytics https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pinapps.amped&hl=en

    I liked this one better than WiFi Analyzer (#2). Gives a bit more
    information, and I think is easier to use. So far, this is the one
    I'd choose.


WiFi Radar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=girsas.wifiradar&hl=en

    Nice concept; flawed execution.  Also gives misleading information
    about the "direction" of the hotspot.

Signal Sniffer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.simplymobile.btsignal&hl=en

    Junk.

Still looking...

Before I go scrounging through the 7 million apps in the Google pay, er... play store, has anyone been using a WiFi sniffer app that they like?

The ideal app would display the SSID, channel, MAC address. Bonus points if it can tell direction and handle 5 and 10 MHz channels.
