Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Device identification and location details

High Demand
"Shows suspicious devices no way to find out where or what they r at all ! No help button nada!!!"
"App is a joke. Just pings stuff. No real location or identity. Waste of trapped money"

#2: Actionable threat blocking/mitigation

High Demand
"Doesn't work, probably never did. Only shows you there are threats not what they are or how to go about blocking them etc."

#3: Working offline/without WiFi connection

Medium Demand
"Bummer I didn't know I have to connect to wi fi for it to work. Waste of money."
"This is a scam! Took my money and nothing! Not even after connecting to wi fi!"

#4: Tutorial and onboarding guide

High Demand
"I do not understand how to use this app. The app needs a tutorial or a guide of some sort. I do not recommend this app!!!!"
"The app finds devices and say ms away I'm assuming that means miles. When I try and ping the device it does nothing. I want to be able to understand how to ping."

#5: Free trial with actual functionality

High Demand
"I did the three day trial and nothing changed from the free version"
"Don't waste your time. I am not paying anything before they can prove this app works"

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Offer generous free tier with core device detection visible

Current competitor locks 100% of functionality behind paywall causing 69% of complaints. Showing basic device list with limited details (device type, signal strength) builds trust and demonstrates value before asking for payment.

Implement clear device identification with actionable next steps

55% of reviews complain about lack of actionable information. Provide device name, MAC address, vendor, likely device type, and specific mitigation steps (how to block, how to investigate further).

Price at $9.99/month or $49.99/year with transparent billing

Users reject $7.99/week ($32/month) as predatory. Monthly pricing at ~$10 aligns with user expectations from comparable services and eliminates 'sneaky weekly billing' complaints affecting 41% of reviews.

Build comprehensive onboarding tutorial and contextual help

21% of users report confusion about basic functionality (ping, distance units, device identification). Interactive tutorial on first launch plus contextual help tooltips would differentiate from competitor's zero-documentation approach.

Add smart device filtering with educational context

Users complain about false positives flagging their own smart home devices as threats. Implement device categorization (known smart home vs unknown) with educational popups explaining why devices appear and whether they're concerning.
