Somethingโ€™s gone wrong so they stopped support

Useless

West

Just downloaded your latest update it just bomb out

Worked before but no more

It opens just blank screen on my iPhone

This app does not work any more

This app used to work fine in many places in Japan. But this wifi app cannot authenticate any more and thus stopped working.

Did not work for me.

Could not get it to register.

Doesnโ€™t work

Never got a connection in spite of standing right next to signs advertising this service in Tokyo. I could see the SSID in the Wi-Fi connection list in iPhone settings but the app didnโ€™t find it.

worked just fine

in the two weeks i was in japan, this app was absolutely stellar. it worked just fine to connect me to the various free wifi networks offered in japan ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ

Worst

This is the worst app that Iโ€™ve ever used. It never works and eats up my data!

Horrible, horrible app, makes Japan look bad.

This is easily the worst app I have used on my phone.

Terrible UI, really difficult to use.

The app makes connecting to WiFi almost impossible. I was able to connect once during a six day trip.

App needs a complete rewrite. Makes Japan look bad.

It works sometimes...

This app is good on the occasion that I find a wifi hotspot that is registered with the app. Other than that, this app is always incredibly slow and filled with a bunch of useless things. I even have a hard time understanding the English translations because they are so badly worded. Sometimes the app would ask to load information and this would take hours and return nothing.

couldnt find signal at all

I used this app for TWICE when i visited Japan. And this app couldnt catch wifi signal at all.
All you need is get cheap SIM! you will be fully enjoy Japan without irritation by this useless wifi finder.

Be in Japan in a few days..

I'll be in Japan in a few days so I have my hopes up for this app since public wifi was so confusing to use over there. I did pick up a lot of seemingly public wifi signals but they all sent me to some kind of authentication page...which was so confusing and I have not succeeded to actually get on to internet. One exception was FamilyMart wifi but they had some restriction like you can't be on it for more than 10min or no more than 1hr per day or something like that.
Not being in Japan yet all I could do was to check on map from this app to see wifi spots: it seems like there are plenty of wifi at random places almost everywhere in Japan. I believe the easiest spot to find wifi hotspot with this app is any major public facility like train stations(that you'll find every 2miles all over any major metropolitan areas of Japan.
I'll update my review while I'm there.

Just one concern: what if there's an update for the app that require me to be on the net, BUT if I can't get on the net BECAUSE I haven't updated the app?
That kind of catch22 situation is so classic I'm afraid I'll experience with this app๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Does not help with wifi

It's easier to find and connect to free wifis than this worthless piece of crap. Please don't waste your time with this.

Useless

Was in Tokyo two weeks, many places, never found a connection once with this app

Super Helpful

Connecting to Japan Wi-Fi is not easy for foreign mobile... But having this Apps, make it possible to get connected..

Get this if you are headed to Japan

You do have to create an account. It seems the Wi-Fi providers want usage stats? That's fair - they're providing a free service. They didn't even verify my email address - they just went ahead and activated the service.

I found many Wi-Fi hotspots in Japan, but without this app, they were of no use. Apparently the app has partnered with many of the Wi-Fi hotspots and the app is required to "authenticate" you.
Good app.

After getting used the process it is very handy

I does the registration process for you once you connect to free wifi whitens very helpful since some are in Japanese. Auto connect to free wifi would be amazing!

Fantastic app

Does the login for you (read the directions). Connect to a wifi point, switch to the app, and hit the "connect" button and it'll log you into that access point. Keeps you logged in across subway stations and other locations. I would have been lost in Tokyo / Japan without it.

It almost works (mostly works)

The app does what it says, gives you access to Wi-Fi hotspots. Does not make it any easier to connect to partner hotspots like 7-eleven or FamilyMart. You still need to go to setting, select that HotSpot and log in on their page.
Greatest benefit on Metro Statins but does not switch between between stations so you have to refresh at every stop.
