For years I've been using a great app called Wi-Fi Rabbit. It displayed a widget of a cartoon rabbit head. When there was no WiFi signal, the rabbit was asleep. When it picked up a signal, its ears would go up with wavy lines around them. When it had a strong signal, the ears would be completely up and next to them a cartoon heart, and the rabbit would smile. It was a quick (and fun) way to detect WiFi signal strength. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi Rabbit doesn't work with the Android version (15) of my new phone. Is there any SIMPLE app that does something similar? It doesn't have to be cute, but it should display the approximate signal strength without me having to click anything. So far, everything I've tried gives me too much info, and in order to see anything, I had to click on the icon. I want it to behave like a battery strength meter, or a weather app's temperature display - just show it on the screen, in a 1x1 widget size (big enough to see from a few feet away). I'd prefer if it not collect (or share) data, and I'm willing to pay a reasonable (one-time) price. Any suggestions from personal experience?

You could make it yourself with KWGT. Prepare some identically sized pictures for the states you want (e.g - good, medium, bad, none), put those pics in KWGT one on top of the other, then set formulas for transparency so the one being visible depends on how good/bad your wifi rssi is.
Thanks - KWGT looks interesting, and when I have the time I may try that. But for now I just want an existing app that works (I'm already spending too much time tweaking other apps to work on the new phone to spend time trying to "create" another app).
Just FYI, i've just tried to install the WiFi rabbit you've mentioned, on Android 17, and it totally works. All you have to do is override the low SDK check, which can be done with either an adb command line or just using the "install with options" app (needs Shizuku).
