## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of tax dollar

*2021-10-31*

Why waste taxpayer money on an app has no real use?!

Fund education, healthcare, art or anything is better than this!

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot and battery consumption is high

*2020-04-18, version 4.10.3*

The app keeps on crashes a lot and battery consumption is high.

### 1/5 — Battery drainer

*2019-05-26, version 4.8.1*

Drains battery

### 2/5 — What do this actually do?

*2018-11-07, version 4.7.1*

Would love to know what this actually does? Checks to see if the wifi network is password protected? How much did the city pay to make this?

### 3/5 — Eats battery power. No on / off

*2019-12-15, version 4.10.3*

Appears no way to run at will and is continually on eating power. No on /off mechanism.

### 3/5 — Strange

*2018-11-15, version 4.7.1*

I am a little baffled by this app
It tells me if the wi-fi that I am linked to is secure
It seems to be from NYC ? Yet when I link up to the NYC free wi-fi the app lists it as unsecure
Strange that a NYC sponsered app lists its own wi-fi as unsecure

### 4/5 — Server Verification Incomlete

*2022-10-05, version 4.16*

Any links check including safe known links gives my Subject message. I completely cleaned my iPhone to original settings but still get the subject message. Please help.
Up to this point, I was very happy with this awesome app. I did not have any problems. Thx

### 4/5 — It’s pretty kool I’m still getting used to it.

*2021-01-30, version 4.10.3*

Works well on my iPhone 👌🏽

### 5/5 — Abdul

*2025-11-12*

Malak

### 5/5 — Makes me feel safer to connect to WiFi

*2020-03-05, version 4.10.3*

I enjoy this app and allows me to get some visibility on my phone.
