Apple restricts access to system functions so the options are limited. Apple's AirPort Utility has basic scanning features, but must be enabled in the app settings, "WiFi Scanner". It offers MAC, RSSI, and channel info.
The Android Aruba App is good. We have MetaGeek's WiSpy Air solution. It uses a proprietary external wireless NIC that attaches to a device. This is a workaround to Apple's built-in hardware/software restrictions. The Air Viewer App offers similar features as inSSIDer and is considered a "lightweight spectrum analyzer". I would stick with AirPort Utility for basics since it's very convenient and simple. Less accessories to carry unless I do more in-depth troubleshooting. Then, I would take my laptop and test sets.
