A challenge with evaluating such software is assessing its accuracy. Lots of software could draw you a map of signal strength, but how do you know it is accurate?

It's like a lot of fitness devices: At least for early devices, they would display the number of steps you took, etc., but a few sources actually tried to verify the results and found they could be wildly inaccurate. (Most people didn't seem to care, of course.)
