Delete it from your phone. ### 1/5 — App *2026-02-10, version 5.3.1* Doesn’t show anything. Says can’t load. USELESS ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-01-14, version 5.3.1* Stop useless ### 1/5 — 100% Useless *2025-10-12, version 5.3.1* Can’t load WiFi spots and can’t register my new iPhone 17. ### 1/5 — Ending Shaw go wifi *2025-07-29, version 5.3.1* Apparently Rogers has stopped servicing (without any notice or engagement) the Shaw go wifi that has really inconvenient businesses, organizations and people who relied on this free wifi spot services. Not impressed ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2025-05-26, version 5.3.1* Was hoping to see and connect my kids phone customer or as guest. Can’t see any hotspots. ### 1/5 — Not very useful *2025-03-02, version 5.3.1* Doesn’t show the basics like “are you currently connected to the internet, what is the network name , what is your default network, …” ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-02-25, version 5.3.1* It DID work for some time after Rogers bought Shaw, but doesn’t work anymore! Cmon Rogers if you are going to transition everything over to the Rogers brand then at least make a new app that works… Though knowing how little you care about customer’s experiences I unfortunately don’t expect them to do anything (or at least within a reasonable timeframe which would’ve been like a week at most from the date that they took the app offline as all it needs is a logo and colour change)! ## Frequently asked questions about Shaw Go WiFi Finder ### How many Shaw Go WiFi hotspots are available?
