Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Protect your privacy and data and only connect to Trusted Networks! Simply add your trusted networks to the Trusted Network list in the app and only when one or more of those networks are nearby will your WiFi actually enable. Use the wildcard 'any' to connect to any network the name only. Or be extremely restrictive and only enable your WiFi when a network with the same name AND mac address is nearby. Anyone that has left their WiFi on while driving knows how annoying it is when your trying to do something on the phone that requires network connectivity to only find out you device can't access the resource. This is because WiFi does not implement Mobile IP (as oppose to 4G/LTE). When your device switches between two WiFi hotspots or between a WiFi hotspot and a 4G/LTE network, your device looses all context what it was doing and needs to re-establish the session. Features Include: Disables WiFi when driving. Disables WiFi if no trusted networks are nearby. Does NOT use GPS to determine if your driving. Add Trusted Network by name and/or MAC Address. Comprehensive logging (e.g. When driving started, WiFi enabled/disabled, etc). Notification for quick access and status of device/app. Battery Saver mode to only scan for networks when screen is on.

Smart WiFi Kill 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 Smart WiFi Kill 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 ddf22ca0713576fefd249f9aa8eef67a.
