Yes, I use Wifi Analyzer on Android - but you also need to back it up with Speedtest (OOkla) - I find that there is a clear channel which is absolutely useless, but scored as a good choice by Analyzer as it can't see non-Wifi interference.
It is also regrettable that we seem to end up on the US 1-11 default of 1, 6, 11 - as with the UK/EU 1-13, channels 1, 5, 9, 13 (and in rare circumstances, wide 1+5 & 9+13) would be a better choice, giving four non-overlapping channels and the option of two wide or 1 wide plus 2 narrow
One other thing - Wifi analyser is confused if you have a second SSID - it treats it as a congestion and will apply that penalty to the current channel even if nothing else is sharing

Channel 14 exists and as such is picked up by Wifi Analyzer. It is just not licensed for use in this and other countries but not all. Japan uses it as do others.
