----------

Since Wi-Fi Widget is accessible even from the lock screen, it's the fastest possible way to see, test, and share your wifi.

A few scenarios with and without Wi-Fi Widget:

1) "Why Google is taking so long to load??"
	- WITHOUT: You seethe with anger and wonder how long you should wait until you throw your phone against the wall.
	- WITH: Swipe down to Today and Wi-Fi Widget shows you you’re connected to some random router named “NETGEAR” with no internet.

2) Your friend comes over and asks, “what’s the wi-fi here?”.
	- WITHOUT: Find that scrap of paper somewhere with the 20 character long random string, dictate it multiple times to your friend and screwing up because “sorry, M, not N… and it’s all capitalized… wait start over… okay never mind I don’t really need the internet here."
	- WITH: Swipe right from the lock screen and tap “Share” on Wi-Fi Widget.

3) You’re wondering “is it just my crappy Comcast cable, or is this site actually down?”
	- WITHOUT: You’re like, “ARGH, NEVER AGAIN, COMCAST…"
	- WITH: Swipe down to Today, tap Wi-Fi Widget. It immediately tells you either how quickly your connection can ping the internet, or “ERROR: Couldn't reach internet.”

### 3/5 — Outdated?

*2026-01-17, version 1.2.2*

I just installed this but I can’t find the widget anywhere. Not sure it works for iOS 26. It doesn’t show up in the list of widgets.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-11-17, version 1.2.2*

Amazed by the 4.5 star review. Downloaded, opened, followed the instructions and the app isn’t available as a widget on any screen. Maybe it’ll work if I buy it? No thanks.

### 1/5 — Zombie App

*2025-11-02, version 1.2.2*

Doesn’t work. Doesn’t widget. It’s a widget app. Dev website refers you to a different app VPN service

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do half of claimed

*2025-05-08, version 1.2.2*

Does not show the name of the connected wifi.
Privacy mode didn’t do anything, spinning “activating”
No response from support.

### 1/5 — Fake

*2024-11-16, version 1.2.2*

Not working. 
It’s nothing but scamming app. 

There is no widget on my iPhone about Wi-Fi widget.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother - no updates in 6 years

*2024-07-10, version 1.2.2*

Doesn’t use the current widget framework (styles). Can’t put a widget on your Home Screen. When you enable the old fashioned widget it doesn’t display any useful information.

I’d pay $5 for a modern widget that displays the current Wi-Fi connection, and would open up the preferences app to select a new one, or even just to toggle the Wi-Fi on and off so that my device chooses a new network.

### 1/5 — Just an ad for the paid version

*2023-12-27, version 1.2.2*

This app does nothing except sell you the paid version

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2023-05-23, version 1.2.2*

Don’t waste your time downloading. Last updated 5y ago and no longer works.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-07-21, version 1.2.2*

This app won’t even let you do a speed test without purchasing a subscription. Waste of time

### 1/5 — Cannot access “free” (or any) features w/o sub

*2022-04-09, version 1.2.2*

Please fix this bug that makes the app unusable. Cannot test speed or do anything without starting a free 1 wk trial. I’m on latest iOS upgrade with a 13Pro.  Or is the intent false advertising / deceptive marketing per FTC definition? 
Thanks.
