Wi-Fi mapping

In these times that we live in stay disconnected It's fatal. Having to worry about our data plan every day, to make sure it doesn't run out, is stressful. Therefore, to avoid having to extend the contract, rely on the wi-fi networks is the best of the options. However, finding a free, public network can be complicated. And we say can because, luckily, once again, the Apps come to our rescue.

If an App has become reliable when it comes to finding a network free wi-fi This is WiFi Mapper. Connected to a database, it is able to tell us all the open networks around us.

To perform this scan, the application is based on our location (for which we must give it permission to access the phone's GPS). From there, everything is a piece of cake, as it will show us the available networks closest to our location on the screen. The best thing is that its mapping will indicate the type of public network depending on whether it corresponds to a cafeteria, a park, for example, or a public institution, such as a school or a library. Likewise, each review also reports important data such as the quality of the signal, the number of users who have connected to it, a safety index and even, if it is about bars or restaurants, recommendations on what to order.

The database of this App is formed from the participation of the users themselves since they are the ones who enter them into the App so that someone else can benefit from it. For this reason, when we find a network, we will be asked to select whether it is public or not in order to save it.

With this App we will surely get our data rate last much longer. However, just one recommendation. As always, when browsing a public network you have to take extreme precautions and monitor what data is entered during browsing because we never know who else may be connected and take advantage of their expertise to access content that is especially sensitive for us.
