Wifi Map - the wifi password sharing app

Cellphone  App : Wifi Map

Hello fellow Singaporeans or foreign readers,

Today I'm talking about an iPhone/Android app I stumble upon called Wifi Map.   There is a free version as well as a paid Pro version.

It is essentially a way for people to share their wifi out to the public.  And if there are enough people and businesses that do that, we can connect to wifi services where-ever we go.

I will recommend you only share your wifi out if your router has the guest facility and you are sharing only the "internet" and not the "intranet" or home traffic.

How does it work ? Say you create a guest network at home, and you connect to this guest network using your phone, then you launch Wifi Map. You are given an option to add your Wifi to the public network.  Essentially, you are telling Wifi Map your guest network's password. This is later re-broadcast to users who is in the vicinity and requires Wifi.

I will be testing this in Singapore, and will let you know how well it scores. And see how friendly are Singaporeans sharing their Wifi.
