Rated as one of the 15 most useful apps for Android, one of The Best Apps for Fixing Your Wifi and featured in The NY Times Wirecutter – The Best Wi-fi Router, the Wi-Fi Analyzer app allows users to optimize their current Wi-Fi network through the examination of the surrounding networks, identification of crowded channels and the measurement of signal strength. 

Privacy and security is a huge concern these days and the WiFi Analyzer (open-source) is designed to use as few permissions as possible. It asks for just enough to perform the analysis. Plus, it is all open-source so nothing is hidden. Most notably, this application does not require access to internet, so you can be sure it does not send any personal/device information to any other source and it does not receive any information from other sources.
