Did you run out of mobile data? Fortunately, for some years now there have been mobile applications that can help us in this regard. They are the apps to find free wifi networks.
Therefore, to help you understand more about the best apps to find free wifi networks, we have prepared today's article on the subject. Want to know more? So follow along now!
What are the best apps to find free Wi-Fi networks?
WiFi Master
The most popular app for sharing Wi-Fi passwords. WiFi Master has over 100 million downloads on Android, and no wonder. A really easy to use utility, available in 19 languages and over 200 countries.
The app has a community of over 800 million monthly active users, which means if there are free hotspots in your area, chances are you can find them within the app.
If you are looking for free wifi, this is one of the most recommended options.
WiFi Map®: Find Internet, VPN
WiFi Map is another of the largest free WiFi communities in the world. One of the most important differentiating points compared to other apps like WiFi Master is that users can leave comments here.
This way, when someone shares a password, we can see people's opinions and know if the network is of good quality, if the password doesn't work or if there is a problem of any kind.
Furthermore, it has a “connectionless” mode that allows us to download a map with all the WiFi passwords for a given city. Perfect if we plan to travel somewhere and know we won't even be able to use our data connection.
Did you know that Facebook also shares wifi passwords? Since 2017, the Facebook application for cell phones and tablets has had a feature that allows us to know all the free and public WiFi access points we have around us.
To achieve this, here is a step by step guide:
- Open the Facebook app and click on the settings icon (3 horizontal bars) located in the upper right margin on Android. On iOS, it's located on the bottom right.
- Scroll and scroll down until you reach “Settings and Privacy”. Open the part that refers to Wi-Fi and click on “Search for Wi-Fi”.
- From here, we will be shown a list of places and establishments near our current location with free WiFi access points.
Osmino: WiFi Password Generator
If you are looking for wifi passwords, public and private, you cannot ignore the Osmino app either. This interesting tool has more than 120 million WiFi points in 150 countries, and, like WiFi Map, it also offers the ability to download password maps for offline use.
It also presents some interesting functions: next to each available wifi there is a button that we can press to see the route on Google Maps to get to that point.
Swift WiFi
Another of the most important applications on this list for getting free wifi on your cell phone. This is a global WiFi network search engine.
With this tool we will have access to more than 60 million WiFi points, which we can connect to without having to use keys or passwords. It also includes a small utility to share files with our friends without using mobile data.
In short, it is an application with which we can also do other types of related activities, such as WiFi security analysis and speed tests.
It currently has over 50 million downloads and a high rating of 4.3 stars by the Google Play community.
WiFi Warden
Unlike the rest of the apps on this list, WiFi Warden was selected by Google to be part of Google Play Pass (a paid service with access to high-quality apps without ads or in-app purchases), which gives it some prestige.
In essence, we are facing a tool where users can share their WiFi passwords, facilitating access points to which we can connect for free from any corner of the world.
In addition to its main function, it also has other features that allow us to test the speed of our Internet connection, connect via WPS, create strong passwords and much more.
