Everything your bars were trying to say

Signal Says turns your phone’s signal strength into words. It uses Android’s own signal level, the same one that draws the bars, so it’s never guessing. Here’s where it shows up and what else it does.

  • Android 7.0 or later
  • Works without the internet
  • Barely touches your battery
  • No account, no ads, no tracking

  • Signal strength in the status bar

    A short label sits right next to the clock and changes as your signal does, so you can see it from any app.

  • Signal strength widgets in three sizes

    A tiny badge, a wide label, or a big one with your last 24 hours of signal. Pick the colour and how see-through it is.

  • Tell me when it’s back

    Stuck with one bar? Tap once and your phone lets you know the moment the signal is good enough to send that message.

  • Signal diary

    See how your signal has really been: your worst time of day, your longest bad patch and how often it said “Poor”.

  • Your week, wrapped

    Every Sunday evening, your week as a card that’s made for sharing. Everyone has a signal story.

  • Knows 5G from 4G, and shows dBm

    The widget shows the network type your phone shows, including 5G that works alongside 4G, and the app shows the signal in dBm.

  • Made to be read

    Words are easier to read than tiny bars. TalkBack can announce every change, and colours pass contrast checks in light and dark.

  • Speaks five languages

    English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese, following your phone’s language.

Write your own labels

One small payment unlocks your own words for every signal level. Swear at it, praise it, write it in your own language. It’s your phone.

  • Several labels per level, picked at random so it never gets stale
  • Five ready-made sets to start from, from clean to cheeky
  • Share your labels with friends by message or QR code

The status bar, widgets, diary and built-in labels are free for everyone, with no ads.
