Blocks recalcitrant Wifi

Blocking AU attempting to connect to their WiFi services while using Mineo is possible with this app. It has been successfully blocking in the background for the past 5 years.

Review

Terrible App. Asking for network to be disabled yet it is advertised as for automatically joining to the strongest wi-fi. Total rubbish. One star is even a high rating.

FAQ

What does WiFi Priority do?

WiFi Priority allows you to control which available Wi-Fi network your iOS device connects to first. It achieves this by letting you disable the auto-join function for specific networks, preventing your device from automatically connecting to them.

How does WiFi Priority work?

The app works by creating and installing a configuration profile on your device. This profile tells your device not to automatically join selected Wi-Fi networks. You can then manually select these networks when needed.

What types of Wi-Fi encryption does it support?

WiFi Priority currently supports WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA2-Personal encryption types. It does not work with enterprise encryption.

Can I still connect to networks that I've disabled auto-join for?

Yes, you can still connect to networks for which you've disabled auto-join. You will simply need to tap on the network name in your Wi-Fi settings list to connect manually.

Is WiFi Priority free to use?

Based on the provided information, WiFi Priority is a paid application. It does not appear to have in-app purchases or advertisements.
