Weird, do you happen to use a VPN connection?
Edit: it seems this issue only occurs with the android app, I will dig into this. Thanks for reporting!
yeah, I'm just trying it out right now on my college wifi. It also says <unknown ssid> and I'm also on Android.
I have identified it as an issue with Android 8.1+, will submit a fix to the Play store shortly.
Pie requires coarse location permission for accessing SSID.
Yup, that was the issue! I just launched a new version (1.9) which fixes this.
