Technicians often have difficulty testing new sensors in LoRaWAN networks because they have to open many websites to see the parameters of the gateway, which is time-consuming. In addition, the creation of reports is done manually so that the data is not stored neatly. This research aims to create a drivetest application to optimize the installation of the gateway and measure the quality of the sensor signal from the gateway. The application allows technicians to see if a new installation area already has a LoRa gateway, as well as measure parameters such as Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The app helps identify the optimal location for the installation of new gateways, ensures efficient network coverage, and avoids unnecessary installation costs. Development methods are used in the creation of these applications, with LoRaWAN parameter data collected through field testing. Data analysis is used to determine the optimal location for the installation of the new gateway, and the application is tested directly by technicians during the drivetest. The result of this study is an Android-based mobile drivetest application that can display color indicators based on the quality of the SNR signal from the sensor in the test area, namely Depok. The sensor can uplink well if the green indicator is 0 – 10 dB, while the sensor cannot uplink according to the time interval with a red indication with a value of < 10 dB. This drivetest application can also generate a report of drivetest results in the form of graphs and CSV files
