User reviews

Great to find nearest eduroam hotspot

I have used many times to find and connect to the nearest eduroam hotspot.

Quick and easy!

Map content inaccurate

No idea where the data is coming from, but it’s all but useless. I’m in Oxford and the place is peppered with eduroam nodes, but most of them aren’t showing up. None of the university hospitals are listed, but they aren’t the only gaps.

Tag Me function doesn't work!

I can't enter new places where eduroam is now available... Tag Me feature is completely useless.

Good but limited

Nice little app but the 'tag' function (which I guess was to allow users to identify locations not in the official list) doesn't work. I spent today connected to eduroam in one of the hospital buildings were our eduroam signal is present but failed to tag every time.
Other then nice it does what you'd expect and shows locations where you can connect.

Amazingly fast

This is way faster than the University wifi
