WiFox is a continually updated map of airport and lounge wifi passwords from around the world. In map view, you can tap any wifi icon where wireless information is available, and use the button to copy the password to the clipboard. The map is available offline so you don’t need an Internet connection to use WiFox when you’re traveling. *Click Copy to easily paste passwords into wireless network settings. *Users can also add passwords they find from airports around the world. Those passwords are then sent to foXnoMad for verification and approval before they are added to the map. *In ‘List View’ you can update passwords for airports already added (when you’ve noticed some changes). As you travel you can also rate the wireless hotspot information to let us know if the details worked for you or not. Based on traveler feedback, the connection information is updated, verified, or removed. *WiFox icons indicate how fresh, reliable, and highly rated a given airport wireless network’s information is. *WiFox is updated continuously with information travelers, pilots, and other users send through the WiFox app, foXnoMad website, and foXnoMad Facebook and Twitter accounts. WiFox currently has wireless Internet information for over 700 airports around the world. *The map is updated automatically upon opening the app (when you have Internet access) or by clicking the ‘Update’ button on the map or refresh icon on the List View. *WiFox also protects users on free (open) wifi networks by telling you the proper network name, so you don't unintentionally connect to a rogue or malicious access point. WiFox Premium subscriptions unlock the following features: * Automatic notifications of the highest rated password, with network connection information, as soon as you land. WiFox Premium detects the airport you're at and displays the most relevant wifi network name and password so you can get online as soon as you step off the plane. * View password ratings to see which passwords work best throughout an airport so you can connect to the strongest and most reliable connection. * Be able to add your own password ratings within WiFox. Premium user priority ratings ensure the best wifi passwords are always displayed.

Reduce jet lag with personalized plans based on the latest sleep and circadian science. Timeshifter creates a plan for every flight and time zone, tailored to your chronotype, sleep pattern, itinerary and personal preferences. Used by NASA astronauts, F1 teams, NBA players, Olympic athletes and frequent travelers - and rated "as good as it's going to get" by The New York Times. - The Wall Street Journal: "Indispensable" - Condé Nast Traveler: "Say goodbye to jet lag" - WIRED: "Will help reset your [circadian] clock" - Travel + Leisure: "Game-changer" WHAT YOU GET Jet lag plans that show exactly when to seek light, when to avoid it, when to sleep and when to nap, and how to use melatonin (optional) and caffeine correctly (optional) - hour by hour. PROVEN RESULTS Based on ~130,000 post-flight surveys: - 96.4% of travelers who followed their plan avoided severe jet lag entirely. - Travelers who ignored the advice were 6.2x more likely to experience severe jet lag - and 14.1x more likely to experience very severe jet lag. YOUR FIRST PLAN IS FREE Your first jet lag plan is free, with no commitment. After your free plan, you can buy plans as you go for US$9.99 per plan, or subscribe for unlimited plans at US$24.99.

CIRCADIAN SCIENCE Jet lag cannot be fixed with generic sleep advice, exercise, hydration, dietary supplements, special diets or fasting. None of these reset your circadian clock quickly to a new time zone. Light is the key time cue that resets your circadian clock. Individually-timed light exposure and light avoidance - based on your chronotype, your normal sleep pattern and your itinerary - is the only way to adjust to a new time zone quickly. Get the timing wrong and jet lag gets worse. Getting that timing right is complex and unintuitive, which is why generic advice fails. Timeshifter works as your jet lag calculator and planner, doing that timing for you. WHY WE MADE TIMESHIFTER We built Timeshifter to make circadian science accessible and help you apply it to reduce jet lag. It targets the underlying cause of jet lag - the disruption of your circadian clock - and reduces the symptoms that come with it, including insomnia, daytime sleepiness, fatigue and digestive discomfort. Timeshifter was developed with Dr. Steven W. Lockley, a Harvard Medical School faculty member for over 20 years and former neuroscientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital. He is an international authority on circadian rhythms and sleep, with more than 30 years of clinical research experience in humans, and works with NASA astronauts and mission controllers, F1 teams, NBA players, national soccer teams and Olympic athletes. Whether you are crossing one time zone or ten, on a long-haul flight or a quick turnaround, Timeshifter gives you a jet lag plan built for that trip. Download Timeshifter and make jet lag history on your next flight. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timeshifter at 92% against WiFox's 16%. Timeshifter also leads on price (Free vs $2.99) and rating (4.7 vs 3.7). WiFox's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Timeshifter is free to download; WiFox costs $2.99 up front. WiFox sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year and Timeshifter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Timeshifter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7.
