Finally, some control over Xfinity

Xfinity is everywhere and sometimes its great to be able to be able to get onto the internet when Im traveling. Xfinity is a pain when it insists on being my primary connection over my home Wifi connection or when there is faster connection available. This app finally fixes this problem and lets me choose when I want to use Xfinity.

SCAM! ONLY DISABLE NETWORKS NOT PRIORITIZED

Piece of junk, you can do everything this app does with apple configuration tool. ALL It does is let u disable a wifi network one by one, no prioritize toon whatsoever. Got a refund.

Doesn't actually prioritize

I'm in range of two wireless networks, one without A password that is very slow and another with a password that is very fast. I just want an app that will automatically join the password protected wireless network when I am in range of it. It doesn't matter how physically close I am to the password-protected network but this app will not prioritize the password-protected network and I continue to auto join the wireless network without a password. The name and description of this app is misleading.

Awesome, simple and does the job

I had a problem where my phone would keep connecting to my car’s wifi in preference to home wifi, also when on car wifi this would cause dropouts during handsfree calls. Added car wifi using the app and now it only connects when I want it to and dropouts seem to be fixed. :)

Works

While the title could be more prescriptive of what it actually does, it does exactly what I wanted it to do, prevents my devices from auto connecting to a specific WiFi but allows you to connect it mannually by simply pushing connect. For me this is a life saver. I live in a remote area that has very poor DSL, (900K) when it works. I also have a new 4G LTE verizon tower 300 yards away (30 meg download speeds). I use a netgear cell router as a back up to the DSL as I frequently work at home with big files. The problem is the ATT DSL is so bad from a latency stand point all computers IPADS, Iphoes etc frequent switch from ATT DSl to the Verizon connection automaticly. Our Grand Kids spend a lot of time with us (streaming netflix which I have my account set to lowest resolution). After buring up 10 gig on a weekend, I needed away to prevent the auto connection to the verizon router. This program works perfectly for that.

Does not work

Tried the app with the hope it would allow my iPhone to connect to the fastest network. Initially it did work until I connected to a totally different network. Upon returning within range of my home group of networks it reverted to original allocation policy. Be advised.

Okay for 99 cents

Pros:
Does what it claims in the text (allows you to install WiFi profiles without configuring and connecting to Apple Configurator)
Reasonably usable

Cons:
No native iPhone 6/6+ support
Cannot handle Enterprise keys
Misleading name
UI is rough for an iOS app

I bought this app so that I could save my workplace WiFi network login without auto joining. Unfortunately it turned out not to work in my case because my workplace uses WPA Enterprise (I didn't realize this until I tried to use the app). On the plus side, the app introduced me to Profiles, and I then downloaded the Apple Configurator in the Mac App Store and successfully created a profile that saves my work WiFi credentials but does not auto join. So ironically the app did solve my problem, even though it didn't work for me.

I would rate it at 4-stars if/when it supports native iPhone 6 resolutions. Seems a little silly to release in app in Feb 2015 that doesn't have native iPhone 6 support.

Great App - Does What it Says on the Tin!

I have two WiFi networks, one of which I want to use most of the time, but my devices were selecting them randomly and I didn't want to 'forget' the other.
In the past I got over this by installing a profile using the iPhone configuration utility, but since Apple took the deplorable decision to cease Windows support for it, I couldn't use it.
This app replaced it beautifully, and let me install a profile that turned auto-join off for one network, but still lets me use it without typing in the network key.
Quick and easy to use - excellent!

Terrible app

This app actually doesn't do what is says. It only disable the auto-join on your wifi networks. For example, if you have two SSIDs at your home, you're able to disable auto join feature in one of them, so the other will be the "preferred". But if you're in a room where the preferred wifi is out of range, you'll have to connect to the second WiFi manually. It does the complete opposite of the program suggests.

The app name is misleading

The app doesn't change "WiFi Priority", it just disables the auto join. So if I have two networks available and I want one to have priority over the other, it disables the second. However, if the first isn't available, it now will not auto join that network. It accomplished what I need for now, but since I travel between two offices, I will have to manually join the second network every time I’m at the other office, which is what I was trying to avoid.
