We created this app because we are full time 'technomads' ourselves who rely on mobile data to work remotely. Keeping this app updated is a priority for us, as we depend on it ourselves!

Coverage FAQ:
Q: Why aren't the maps more detailed or released more often?
A: Our map updates require a lot of meticulous labor intensive processing. There's just no practical way to issue a new update every time a new tower is turned on. We monitor new coverage and try to find balance between effort & staying current. This generally means at least a couple updates a year.
Q: What makes 'Coverage?' unique?
A: There are great apps out there that collect user submitted signal reports - we recommend them and use them ourselves. However, those apps are only useful in markets with an active user base. We took a different approach with Coverage? - we needed a tool to at least give us an idea of where signal should be - urban, rural, and out in the boonies.

The maps in 'Coverage?' are provided in partnership with Ookla, and represent proprietary interpretations of the coverage reported by each carrier. You should not rely on the maps in Coverage to be perfectly precise or absolutely timely.
Ongoing map updates have been free - but to support the ongoing development costs, we now allow customers to subscribe to higher resolution maps that will be updated more frequently.
Coverage does not report or predict signal strength (there are great apps out there for that!). We can make no promises as to where you'll *actually* get signal.. there are too many variables - towers, device, terrain, weather, etc.
So… Got Coverage?

New to ‘Coverage?’ this year - we have greatly improved the ability to place and manage your own custom pins on the map!
Now you can add pins by using the search tool, by entering GPS coordinates, or by pressing and holding to drop a pin on the map. And the new pin manager lets you edit and name pins, and select which ones that you want to see displayed.
Also new - if you also own our app ‘US Public Lands’ which tracks cellular coverage maps, your pin collection is shared automatically between US Public Lands and ‘Coverage?’ - making it easier than ever to scout ahead.
And of course - all the coverage maps in the app have also been updated with all the latest information, including the latest 5G rollouts.

MAJOR UPDATE: Canadian Coverage Maps!
We’re excited to be able to offer ‘Coverage?’ in Canada, with LTE maps now available for the 3 major Canadian carriers - Bell, Telus and Rogers.
A one time unlock fee will permanently enable the Canadian maps for all three carriers inside the ‘Coverage?’ app.
For US based travelers - be sure to look up which Canadian carriers your US based plans roam onto, and enable the appropriate layers when headed north. Be sure to keep in mind any roaming restrictions or fees associated with your plan.
HD or SD Maps: If you have (or add later) the HD Maps subscription, this will apply to the Canadian maps as well - giving you access to higher resolution maps that are updated quarterly.
If you do not have the HD Maps subscription, you’ll have access to the standard resolution maps, and will receive map updates on a less frequent basis.
