osmino Wi-Fi 5.27.05

Find free WiFi networks around you with one of the best scanners on Google Play
Being connected to the internet is extremely important, even if you're on the go. But mobile data isn't cheap and some apps take up a lot of bandwidth, so people search for free WiFi networks especially when they're out. Osmino Wi-Fi: free WiFi is one of the apps that can help you find internet networks near you and display them in an easy to manage map on your phone.

Sleek and easy-to-use interface

The UI is truly intuitive, but before you start using the app make sure to check out the tutorial that contains all sort of tips and instructions to make it easier for you to get accustomed with this app.

The interface is also highly customizable, it lets you add apps for quick launch and remove them the same way you do from your device home screen. The left side menu offers access to all major sections and to widgets for your home screen.

Find networks near you

All you need to do to start searching for networks is to tap on the large icon on the screen. You will be automatically connected to public networks if there are any hotspots in range. If you can't find a network, check the nearest hotspots on the WiFi map. It also displays the distance and direction towards them.

However, it may seem crowded with icons, but not all are the same. Green ones denote public networks, orange ones are sign-in required and gray marked ones are networks with unverified access. The app also displays a number of multiple hotspots found in the area and if you don't know which you should pick to connect, check out user reviews.

Augmented reality for finding hotspots

The app uses augmented reality to locate hotspots near your location and the connection is done automatically, when you approach a public hotspot. Tap on the icon to get further details and user reviews about the network.

In addition, you can get information in offline mode if you download the hotspot data on control panel. You also have the option of sharing a network or checking the connection speed with a simple test. Users also have the option of searching for a network by typing in its name.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The interface is really intuitive and lightweight offering access to all features with the tap of one finger, but it could use more work in the augmented reality section.

Function9
 

It does a good job at finding networks, being one of the most popular WiFi finder on the market.

Security8
 

It needs access to many areas of your phone but it doesn't pose any major security or privacy risks.

Battery7
 

Consumption is lower than for other similar apps, but it could still take a toll on your battery if you use it extensively.

Price9
 

It's free but comes with annoying full screen ads. Remove them for 5.48$.
