Does that app exist for iOS? I didn't see it.
Nope. Apple has decided that you should not be allowed to install
wi-fi sniffer, monitor, and troubleshooting applications on Apple
handsets. Apple knows what is best for you. This is typical:

Limitations like this is why I gave up on IOS long ago.
Of course, that's why people jailbreak their iPhones. Try the Cydia
store on your jailbroken iThing:
https://cydia.saurik.com
Firing up my ancient iPhone 3G (jailbroken), I find
- yFyLite Network Finder
and nothing else. There might be something newer. I just ran Cydia
to see if there's anything new, and it's furiously updating packages
and indexes. Yawn... Argh, this thing is slow. How could I ever have
used it? The Cydia listing shows a huge list of WiFi related
utilities. A few are similar to WiFi Analyzer. The others are
connection managers and password managers. Most are useless tweaks
changing the stock signal stength icon to something more interesting.
One I recall from long ago is WiFiFoFum with its goofy radar like
display.
Of course, if you have a laptop, Apple allows Wi-Fi monitoring for
OS/X:

Any semblance to hypocrisy is hopefully coincidental.
