It's a hard-knock life if you're desperately in need of a wireless connection, prowling the streets at night, looking for some sap who hasn't protected their network yet. By the 23rd street, you'll probably start thinking: there's got to be an easier way.
Wi-Fi Finder (Free,
App Store) sets out to do exactly this, by serving you a directory of 200,000 locations where you can get your wireless on.
This particular Wi-Fi finding solution uses the "world's largest verified registry of hotspot locations", allowing you to find a place to quickly send that last desperate Tweet for help in over 135 countries. The app also has a handy feature that allows you to find the nearest hotspot to your current location, meaning those days of comparing co-ordinates are long gone.
With GPS, a huge database, and the ability to show you addresses, fees and phone numbers, this app may be the right thing for the globetrotter in you.
