Written for version 4.0.1.615

Liked:
Planning:
A wide selection of wall materials
Windows, doors, and shelves
A large selection of access points (almost all well-known vendors and all models, including the latest Wi-Fi 7 models)
Survey:
Availability of active scanning via Iperf3 (only one adapter is needed, as passive and active scans are performed alternately in stop-and-go mode)
Ability to generate reports in PDF
Disliked:
Planning:
Plan view: After zooming in, there is no scrolling left-right or up-down; to move to another part of the plan, you need to zoom out and then zoom in at the desired location
It is not possible to highlight a specific area of interest on the plan. In particular, an automatic placement function for access points to cover this area would be useful.
Wall and shelf materials: When switching materials, the selected color is not retained (e.g., if I draw brick in red, concrete in gray, and drywall in yellow, I want these colors to remain when switching between materials; however, the last used color stays instead)
It is not possible to set the ceiling height and the mounting height of the access point
For access points with external antennas, there should be an option to select and position these antennas, but this feature is missing
Survey:
No non-stop scanning
