Well, if this sounds like you, then you’re going to love the new Smart Wi-Fi Android app, free and available now from the Play Store. Smart Wi-Fi works and looks like a radar screen you’d find in a navy ship.

The whole idea is to sift through the endless options of available Wi-Fi networks in your area, indicating which ones are password-free, so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs, click on it to connect and leech off it for as long as you like.
You’ll also be able to easily turn your Wi-Fi on or off by simply pressing the power button, save your preferred networks (in case you are leaving the area but intend on returning) by pressing the AP button, automatically search for new networks, check the top bar which contains information on signal strength and the IP address you are using while connected, filter and edit your saved apps by using the AP Filtering drop-down menu and even get instructions of use with a comprehensive user guide.
What’s great about Smart Wi-Fi is, first and foremost, its design. It looks absolutely stunning, quite futuristic yet not at all alienating, sleek yet simple, colourful yet not at all childish. The colours are the second important feature that really simplifies use.
They indicate the signal strength of each individual available network, which appear on the radar as a dot followed by the network name, resulting in a multi-coloured and cute yet very informative display.
Another important feature is the radar layout itself. The colourful dots representing each network are set at different distances from the middle of the screen and the further the dot is from the middle, the further away it is from where you physically are.
This way, as we all know the closest available networks will most likely have better signal strength and, therefore, browse much faster than the ones which are further way, you can choose the network that best suits your needs.
So if you’re looking for a way to get free wireless internet, you now have a proper technologically advanced way to find your perfect, password-less match. It’s geek meets navy radar tech meets freeloader, and it’s good!
So whether you’re looking for endless hours of free internet and you’re too frugal to pay your own internet bill, a network to do some downloading from or just for your everyday browsing needs, now there’s no need to be ashamed of milking your neighbours’ Wi-Fi without their knowledge.
If they find you out, just show them the app and they’ll be so impressed they’ll forgive you. Happy leeching!
