Roomwave · last updated 15 September 2026
Roomwave collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no advertising identifier, no crash reporting. The measurement happens between your iPhone and your router, inside your home. The only request that leaves your network is an optional speed test, described below.
Your surveys, the rooms, the measurements, the floor plans and the position you gave your router are stored in a file on your iPhone. Deleting the app deletes them. Nothing is synced, backed up by us or uploaded.
The camera is used by ARKit, and RoomPlan on iPhones with LiDAR, to know where you are while you walk, so each measurement lands in the right room. No image is saved or sent. The walls are kept as simple lines on your device.
To measure the link, the app sends small echo requests to your router and times the answers. They stay on your local network.
Apple only gives the name of the Wi-Fi network to apps allowed to use location. Roomwave asks for it only to read that name and the address of the access point you are connected to, which reveal a mesh node placed too far and check that a remeasure happens in the same home. Your location itself is never read, stored or sent. Refusing it removes those two features and nothing else.
If you leave the switch on before a scan, the app downloads a few megabytes from Cloudflare's public speed test server (speed.cloudflare.com) to show your internet speed per room. The request carries no data about you or your home. Cloudflare sees your IP address, as any server you connect to does. Turn the switch off and the survey stays entirely inside your home network.
When you share a survey, the image is rendered on your device and handed to the iOS share sheet. It shows your floor plan and room scores. Where it goes next is your choice; Roomwave never sees it.
Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We receive no payment details, no name and no email address. The app asks Apple whether Roomwave+ is active and gets back yes or no.
The app holds no personal data and does not target children.
If this ever changes, this page changes first and the app's App Store privacy labels change with it.
