With “WiFi Priority“ it is finally possible to prioritize to which available network to connect first! Generally all iOS devices rank available WiFi networks alphabetically and connect to the topmost known network in that list first. However, there are situations in which you may want to avoid that and prefer to connect to another known network instead. This is where “WiFi Priority“ comes to your aid. It simply lets you disable the auto-join function for selected networks and thus prioritize the one that you prefer by creating and installing a configuration profile on the device. Instead of making your device forget the topmost networks you can now prevent them from automatically connecting first. Just enter the network information for the networks you don’t want to auto-connect and let “WiFi Priority“ do the rest. Afterwards your preferred available network will always connect first and you will still be able to use the other networks by just tapping on them in your network list.

Printer App
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your printer is on the Wi-Fi. Your iPhone can see the network. We and when they won't, we tell you exactly why. Most printer apps answer a failed connection with a spinner and "No printers found." Platen runs a real diagnosis instead. It checks whether the printer is awake or asleep, whether it is on the same network as your iPhone, whether your router is isolating it from other devices, whether Local Network permission is switched off, whether AirPrint has been disabled in the printer's own settings, and whether the tray is empty or a cover is open. Every message names the cause and the next thing to do. Never a bare "failed." FREE, ALWAYS — NOT A TRIAL - Finding your printer - Diagnosing why it will not connect - Adding a printer by IP address when discovery is blocked - Your first real print, on real paper You never have to pay to find out whether Platen works with your printer. NO ACCOUNT. EVER. No sign-up, no email, no password. There is nothing to log into. Your documents go from your iPhone to your printer over your own Wi-Fi. PRINT - PDFs from Files and iCloud Drive - Photos, with layouts the system print sheet cannot express - Web pages, and whatever you last copied to the clipboard - Live printer status and ink levels, read from the printer itself - Scan a page and print it straight back out — a copier, made from your phone - Print at actual size, so a shipping label comes out the size the carrier made it — never shrunk to fit - Pro: page ranges, odd and even pages, two-sided printing, 2-up and 4-up, saddle-stitch booklets, custom and folio paper sizes, and a print queue SCAN - Scan from your printer's own glass or document feeder — any brand, no account, including the model your manufacturer stopped supporting - Or scan with the camera: automatic edge detection and perspective correction - Pro: text recognition and searchable PDF export WORKS WITH YOUR PRINTER Printer App: Print, Scan, Fix prints over Wi-Fi to AirPrint and IPP printers — over 10,000 AirPrint printers, including models from HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, Xerox, Ricoh, Kyocera and Samsung. If your printer does not appear by itself, add it by its IP address. PLATEN PRO - A weekly plan with a 3-day free trial, or an annual plan - Canceling takes two taps inside the app, and a trial never turns into a plan you did not choose - Prices are shown in your own currency before you buy - Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in the app, or in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY - No account, no ads, no tracking, no precise location - Local Network permission is used only to find your printer and ask it what is wrong - Platen records whether a print succeeded and why one failed, so connection problems get fixed. It is never tied to your name and never includes what you printed.
