WiFi Map helps you find and connect to wireless networks in your area.

Even if you have an excellent 4G or 5G connection, there may come a point when you want to stop using your own data. With WiFi Map, you will be able to locate wireless networks within a few miles of your location, and that is going to reduce your own data usage and allow you to surf the internet for longer periods of time.

WiFi Map works on a wide variety of devices, and that includes Android smartphones and tablets. To use this app, you will need to give it permission to access your device’s GPS chip. The in-app search feature can be used as well, but that function isn’t always precise. Whenever you need a wireless connection, all you have to do is open the app and search the map for local networks.

This app automatically searches for free wireless networks that are open to the public. As an added bonus, you will also be given the passwords to many of the networks. In businesses like internet cafes and coffee shops, you won’t have to make any purchases or ask the employees for their passwords. After you have chosen a network, WiFi Map is going to automatically connect your device.

This app will be very useful if you are tired of using up your own data, but the pop-up ads can be incredibly intrusive. Luckily, those ads can be removed for a small fee, and the developers now offer lifetime passes.
