WiFox is an innovative new smartphone WiFi app, available to download on both the iOS and Android platforms for a price of only $1.99, that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to identify WiFi hubs in your area along with pertinent information such as network names, passwords as well as time limits on use.
What's great about this app is that it is powered by community crowdsourcing efforts, with users able to add passwords to different WiFi networks, particularly at airports. These passwords are then verified and approved before being added to the database. The app even offers information on the reliability, strength and rating associated with each airport's WiFi network.
This WiFi app is truly a worthwhile download for anyone who spends a lot of time traveling and finds themselves in airports, where WiFi access can certainly come of use.
