Slow Wi-Fi, mystery devices on your network, sharing passwords with friends — one app handles it all. "Wi-Fi Share: Network Toolkit" started as a Wi-Fi QR sharing tool. Version 1.1.0 expands it into a full home network toolkit: see who's on your Wi-Fi, diagnose what's making it slow, inspect website certificates, check IPv6 reachability — 16 tools that used to require technical know-how, now one tap and a clear result. Everything runs locally, and the app never uploads your passwords. ■ Wi-Fi Sharing (original core, free forever) • Wi-Fi QR Sharing: enter SSID + password, instantly generate a standard Wi-Fi QR. Guests scan with their camera and connect. Supports WPA / WPA2 / WPA3 / WEP / open networks and hidden SSIDs. • Network Status Overview: router (Gateway), IP and subnet mask — all on one page, each field copyable. • Hotspot QR & Password Vault: turn your Personal Hotspot into a QR; saved Wi-Fi credentials live in the phone's encrypted vault (free: 3 entries). ■ Home Network Toolkit (new in 1.1.0) • Scan Devices: LAN radar finds every device on your subnet with IP / vendor / alias (Premium). Tap into a device for port scan; cross-session scan history (Premium full) lets you compare "who was here, what's new now." • Network Health Monitor: 30-second Ping / Jitter / Packet Loss test with live chart. 5 built-in targets (Google / Cloudflare / Apple / Steam / Netflix) — find out if it's your network or that site. • Speed Test + Historical Trend: one-tap download speed; 1.1.0 adds a weekly trend chart. • 16 network tools, one-tap clarity: • Wake-on-LAN — remotely wake your desktop / NAS • Public Identity — your outbound IP / ISP / country • TLS Certificate Inspector — view any site's HTTPS cert • DNS Speed Compare — which DNS is faster • HTTP Headers Check — security header scoring • IPv6 Connectivity — is IPv6 reachable from your home? • Whois / RDAP — domain registration lookup • mDNS / Bonjour Browser — AirPlay / Printers / SMB • Email DNS — MX / SPF / DMARC 0-100 scoring • Ad-blocker Detection — check if 12 known ad domains are sinkholed • Slow Network Root Cause — one-tap DNS + Ping + IPv6 diagnosis • Password Generator / Strength Checker / Router Defaults / DNS List / Hotspot QR — all original tools preserved ■ Premium Unlock (one-time purchase, lifetime access) • Unlimited Wi-Fi entries (free: 3) • Unlimited ad-free speed tests • LAN device aliases + full scan history (free 3 → Premium 50) • QR customization (5 color presets, incl. gradients) • Priority access to future features ■ Privacy Promise • No email, name, phone, or birthday.

We have NO backend server. • Zero ads in core features. Only Speed Test on free tier may show an optional rewarded ad after 5 daily tests. • No photo library, location, contacts, or microphone permissions. The camera is used only when you scan a Wi-Fi QR code.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WiFi File Share at none against Wi's 1. WiFi File Share also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Wi's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
