Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

FreeWiFi helps you find free wifi / WLAN access points. We aim to make better use of the available wifi infrastructure by giving the opportunity to share wifi passwords and locate all free wifis on a map. You can help by freeing more wifis! Features: - Connect to shared wifis - Share wifi passwords and open wifis with gratis Internet - Find next open network on map - Automatic check for internet with open wifis - Compete in "Hall of Fame" with other FreeWiFi users - Automatic caching of free network locations in your zone FreeWiFi helps you to find faster, cheaper Internet world wide. If you are travelling or you do not have a data plan it can save you a lot of money, because you use Internet without charge. Search and find hot spots wherever you are, make fast connections and don't be bothered by fake networks. The encryption method can be WEP or WPA/2, FreeWifi supports all (no hacking involved, just sharing). All users help make a wider database of open access points. Some countries like Thailand (especially Bangkok), Malaysia, Ireland have already a good coverage. We believe that it doesn't make sense to have millions of wireless networks on our planet and not use their available bandwidth. The wireless routers have to be produced, they consume energy during their lifetime and they have to be disposed - so we better maximize their use! By sharing wifis we save energy and take advantage of the available resources.

Free WiFi APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Free WiFi APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is bd7d727dbf082e8c64e0e7a4e9eb03fb.
