   Of course the graphical wifi debugging apps are useful, as are all the   
   utilities that Android has which iOS lacks because it's a toy OS after all.   
      
   They wouldn't exist on _all_ other platforms if they weren't useful to many!   
   What's interesting is that _only_ iOS lacks these graphical debugging utils.
