Nope. *2019-10-24, version 1.5* Does not and never will switch automatically between my wireless networks on my property. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — Misleading App Name *2019-03-11, version 1.5* App should be classified, and renamed, as a WIFI blocker. It doesn't prioritize anything. And I fully understand how to use the app; contrary to the rebuttals I've seen in response to other negative reviews. Thankfully, I only wasted 99-cents. I have removed the app. ### 1/5 — It does not prioritize WiFi as it says it actually disables your WiFi instead. Did not work for me. *2019-01-17, version 1.5* Yes ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2018-12-26, version 1.5* It just seems to disable autojoin which can be done manually easier than using this ### 1/5 — It’s not Prioritizing. The name is a scam. *2018-11-01* You only have the option to disable auto connect which you can do by yourself in the WiFi settings. God only knows what we installed I thought, the app recognizes a specific WiFi and connects to that if in reach. That would be WiFi prioritizing. ### 1/5 — Does not prioritize *2018-10-24, version 1.5* All this does is make you “Forget” a WiFi connection. I bought it to list prioritize connections, it doesn’t do anything like that. Why even call it WiFi Priority, just call it The app that doesn’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Terrible... horrible *2018-08-26, version 1.5* Didn't allow you to prioritize WiFi network add it's name or description suggests. Should be negative five stars ### 1/5 — Funktioniert irgendwann nicht mehr.. *2018-08-18* Funktioniert irgendwann nicht mehr und ich muss das Profil erneut hinzufügen.. Anpassung für iPhone X fehlt.. ### 1/5 — Irreführung, Schrott, Frechheit *2018-08-14* Diese App hat absolut nichts mit priorisieren von WLAN Netzen zu tun. Mit dieser App kann man nur die automatische Verbindung zu definierten WLAN-Netzen, die man auch noch manuell eintippen muss, gänzlich verhindern. D.h. wenn man sich auf das zunächst ungewollte Netz hin bewegt und damit die Reichweite des periodisierten Netz verlässt, meldet das Gerät sich einfach nur nicht an dem nicht priorisierten Netz an. Diesen Effekt kann man im IPhone WLAN Menü über die Funktion, dieses Netz ignorieren kostenlos bekommen. Frechheit! Dreist dafür auch noch Geld zu verlangen. Priorisierung bedeutet, dass alle Netze nach Priorität und Signalstärke automatisch verbunden werden. ### 1/5 — Clunky rubbish *2018-08-11, version 1.5* Clunky interface and unhelpful, highly manual ### 1/5 — Not what I thought it was *2018-07-11, version 1.5* I downloaded this app to make my Ipad connect automatically to the strongest wifi signal of my approved networks .It does not do this and I am not able to delete it or cancel the purchase. ### 3/5 — It only disable specific WiFi networks *2018-07-01* It only disable specific WiFi networks, what I expect is to diagnose all WiFi networks and switch to the strongest one, dynamically. I was mislead by an advertisement and bought this app. ### 1/5 — Неизвестно за что заплатил *2018-06-25* Программа не предоставляет никаких возможностей, отличных от стандартного интерфейса. Ее единственная функция - запрет на автоподключение к конкретной сети Wi-Fi. Возможность установить правила переключения между существующими известными сетями (например в зависимости от силы сигнала) отсутствует. В общем абсолютно бесполезная программа! Удалил сразу! ### 1/5 — Waste of money 😡 *2018-06-03, version 1.5* It only gives you the option of not connecting to a specific wifi A, but not how to switch automatically to the strongest signal. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app does not work *2025-06-29, version 1.5* Want my money back ### 1/5 — Most worthless App *2024-07-16, version 1.5* The App does not work. The profile is not signed. Why? Beware. Do not buy ### 1/5 — Useless!!!! *2022-11-12, version 1.5* Scam. Useless. Do not install!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Review *2021-09-09, version 1.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Do Not Download *2021-05-28, version 1.5* Useless App. Does not work. Don't waste your money. Ripp off ### 1/5 — Terrible app❗️😢😢😢😢😢 *2021-05-10, version 1.5* Doesn’t work as it should be. Bad bad bad❗️😢 ### 1/5 — Die App schließt aus und priorisiert nicht!! *2021-01-10* Ich verstehe unter dem Titel und der Beschreibung der App, dass man Netzwerke priorisieren kann um z. Bsp das gerade am stärksten verfügbare Netzwerk automatisch zu wählen. Diese App schließt augenscheinlich nur Netzwerke aus die man darin benennen kann. Dasselbe kann jedes IPhone /IPad selbst. Einen Support des Entwicklers erhalte ich wohl nicht, da die Supportfunktion nicht geht! Wie ich die Einstellungen zurück bekomme ist auch nicht ersichtlich da die in der App angegebene Funktion in den IOS Einstellungen so nicht existiert! Bekomme ich irgendwelche Hilfestellung Frau//Herr Entwickler? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-08-14, version 1.5* Total waste of $1:50 the app does nothing. I want my money back !!!!! ### 1/5 — Very bad app *2020-06-27, version 1.5* It doesn’t do what it is intended to do. It does exactly the opposite. It was supposed to prioritize your SSIDs so your device connects to your preferred one but that implies that you disconnect all other SSIDs. And even if you delete the SSIDs that you selected from the profile it won’t do it. This is the worst app I’ve ever purchased. ### 1/5 — This is a scam app. Utterly useless. It doesn’t do what it says. *2020-05-25, version 1.5* Simply works to remove a network from a phone. You can already do this without an app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Blocks recalcitrant Wifi *2022-09-06* 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. ### 5/5 — Überragend *2019-10-15* Genau das hatte ich gesucht. App funktioniert einwandfrei, fairer Preis. ### 5/5 — So soll‘s sein! *2019-07-24* Erstellt ein Konfigurationsprofil, das danach (wie alle seit neuestem) händisch installiert werden muss. Ganz einfach. Löst ganz simpel ein ewiges lästiges Problem und ist damit jeden Cent wert. Daumen hoch! 👍 ### 5/5 — Tut genau was in der Beschreibung steht. *2018-08-25* Des Lesens sollte man mächtig sein.. ### 5/5 — It works! *2018-04-29, version 1.5* Thank you. App is not needed any more with iOS 11 ### 5/5 — Top! *2018-01-29* Genau das habe ich gesucht. Tolle kleine App! Jedesmal verbinden sich meine Geräte mit dem Repeater, obwohl der Router viel näher ist. Dank dieser App ist das Problem gelöst. ### 5/5 — This is the way apps should work *2017-11-05, version 1.5* There are a number of negative reviews here, but those seem to have been written by people who do not understand the purpose and function of this app. My situation was this: I have home Wi-Fi and recently added an outdoor access point to get the Wi-Fi extended to my new shelter house, which is more than 200 feet from the house. That access point required the creation of a new Wi-Fi network - different name and different password than the one in the house. The problem this created was that my iPhone would randomly switch between the two networks, but I didn’t want it to. It sometimes switches to the outdoor network, but when I am in the back of the house, that signal is very weak compared to the indoor Wi-Fi. Yet my phone stayed with the weaker signal. So I had to keep checking which network I was on, and frequently had to switch networks to get the best signal. This app resolved the problem. My phone will stay connected to the indoor network and I no longer have to keep checking for which network I am on while in the house. When I go to the shelter house, it’s a simple matter of switching to the outdoor Wi-Fi network. This app has a very specific function, which it performs very well. Very easy to set it up, and it works like a charm. 5 stars without a doubt. ### 5/5 — Einwandfrei *2017-10-19* Tut exakt was es soll! ### 5/5 — Works as Promised... *2017-09-04, version 1.5* Just does what it says it will do. It prevents you from joining an available network that cannot be "un-auto joined". ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says *2017-08-09, version 1.5* Yes, the app name is a little misleading, but this app does exactly what it says in its description. The update that just came out fixed a bug that was preventing new from installing the profiles it creates. I use several wifi networks with equipment at work that are airgapped with no access to the internet. I don't use them all day every day, and it's a real pain to either set them up every time I need them or constantly be digging around in settings to get off of them. This does exactly what I need - well worth the investment. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
