Wi-Fox lets you discover the credentials to access Wi-Fi hotspots in the world’s major airports. It costs $2 and allows you to download the map to your device
We’re in the airport and about to leave. The first thing we do, especially if we are abroad, is to look for a Wi-Fi connection, preferably one that also has free access. Difficult task. Don’t worry, the Wi-Fox app comes to our rescue.
The application, available for Android and iOS, was created by Ani Polat, a young engineer who has spent the last 6 years of his life traveling. And it was thanks to these constant movements from one airport to another that she had the idea of creating a map of Wi-Fi hotspots in airports around the world. Thus was born Wi-Fox, a crowdsourced app that provides users with the names and passwords of the connections on the map. I dati, inoltre, sono continuamente aggiornati dagli utenti così da esser certi di avere a disposizione dati affidabili.
Un’app a pagamento ma molto conveniente
Il servizio offerto dall’app di Ani Polat ha, se vogliamo, un piccolo inconveniente. Per poterla utilizzare dobbiamo infatti spendere 2 dollari. Un prezzo davvero irrisorio, se si considerano i costi che si devono sostenere, nella gran parte dei casi, per potersi collegare al Wi-Fi dell’aeroporto.

Wi-Fox, app per scoprire le credenziali di accesso agli hotspot negli aeroporti
Con i dati puntualmente inseriti dagli utenti, basterà aprire l’applicazione, visualizzare le connessioni disponibili e scegliere in base alla nostra posizione quale rete utilizzare. In addition, Wi-Fox allows you to download the map to your device, so you can use it offline and be ready to navigate as soon as you step off the plane.
