Boingo's Wi-Finder App Finds and Connects to Hotspots

There's a new app out there that makes finding and connecting to Wi-Fi hotspots easier than ever. The Wi-Finder app from Boingo Wireless not only has the power to log you onto the company's own 325,000 hotspots worldwide with one click, but also can help you locate free, open hotspots around the globe.

The app uses location-mapping to help you find both paid and free networks, and through advanced connection logic, Wi-Finder will automatically connect you to the best signal.

Another cool feature is every time you find an open network, the app logs network information like location (latitude/longitude), whether the connection succeeded or failed, and network quality (speed/throughput). This data will be returned to the central Location database and used to populate additional open networks in the mapping tool. The more people that use the app, the better the Location Directory gets.

Boingo Wi-Finder is now available for Windows and Macintosh laptops, Android smartphones and iOS devices. The current Wi-Finder app requires Internet access via Wi-Fi or 3G/4G to perform search functions, but future versions will include offline mapping capability.
