Hello developer I have some thoughts about choosing best wifi channel function in this app.

When I open wifi channel chart in this app, it shows me this one.

And this is its channel recommendation page.

But I find this app in Google play store, and it shows me this wifi signal heat histogram chart.

In this chart I think wifi channel area is in lowest area in this heat histogram and when user choose best wifi channel area in this histogram I think maybe user need to consider about their router wifi channel width too.

I don't know if second histogram is better to let user pick best wifi channel when It is compared to this app wifi channel choosing method.
