This App will Detect all types of FAKE WIFI HOTSPOTSThis "Fake Hotspot Detector" makes use of Geolocation to associate each Detected WiFi Hotspot (i.e. Network) with a particular WiFI ZoneA WiFi Hotspot with a given name (SSID) can be Whitelisted in One Zone, but warned about in another ZoneThis app will Warn you if your Phone Connects to a WiFi Network that you have NOT (previously) Whitelisted in the Current WiFi ZoneThere are three categories of WiFi Hotspots you should be concerned about:1. All "Free WiFi Networks", as found at Airports, in Hotels, Restaurants, etc.These are Open Public WiFi Hotspots that you knowingly may connect to yourself.2. A "Free WiFi Network" that you have logged onto before.When your Phone "sees" this again, it will Automatically Connect to it again - without your knowledge or consent.3. Hotspots set up to mimic one of your normally used WiFi Routers. Also called "Honeypots".This type of Hotspot will present itself to your Phone with the same Names as those WiFi Routers that you have previously been Connected toExamples of this type of Hotspots are the American "Pineapple", and probably also the "InterApp" Surveillance System made by the Italian firm RayZone, which is offered to Governments and Law Enforcment Agencies - to spy on usWhen your Phone "sees" such a Hotspot, it will Automatically and Silently Connect to itThis unwanted behavior is caused by shortcomings in most WiFi Systems and PhonesFake Hotspots are used by Hackers and some Government Agencies - to spy on youAll Types of Fake Hotspots are set up to "listen in" on your Internet Communication, and e.g. try to detect your Passwords, etc.This App will Detect - and Warn you - when your Phone Connects to a Fake Hotspot of Type 2 and 3 above, enabling you to DISABLE the ConnectionFor a more simple Protection against unwanted WiFi Hotspots, you can optionally configure the App to Disable WiFi outside Whitelisted ZonesFeatures:- Very Easy to Use- Warning when your Phone Connects to an Unknown (not yet Whitelisted) WiFi Hotspot- Associating every Hotspot with a WiFi Zone, using Geolocation- Whitelisting (of known Hotspots)- Detection of Connection to previously Connected WiFi Hotspots (in other Zones) - Disabling and Disconnection of Hotspots that are not Whitelisted in the Current WiFi Zone- Storing of WHitelisted and Disabled Hotspots with their Zone parameters- Protection against WiFi-Tracking- Periodic Checks for Hotspots- Various Modes of Operation- Optional Disabling of WiFi outside Whitelisted WiFi Zones- Selectable Network Checking Period, from once per 30 seconds to once per 10 minutes- Logging of All Events- Optional Logging of Entries and Exits to/from WiFi Zones - List of All Identified Hotspots- Battery Saving Design- Using a "Passive" GPS Location Technique, to save power- Always Running in the Background, even when Phone "sleeps"- Auto Restart at Boot Time- Rooted Phone is NOT Required- Also works on Tablets with SIM-card- Export of CSV File (of all Detected Networks)- Lots of Answers to FAQs- Info about Common WiFi Issues on some New DevicesHow To Use:After you have Opened the App the First Time, touch the ENABLE Button.

Excellent work leveling the field. A learning period is recommended as with the cell tower app. I use wi fi only on one of my devices and it roams using xfinity signals that are available. i have no router so it is difficult for me to tell real and fake. I do not want to blacklist networks I need in the xfinity roaming process. If you have suggestions they are welcome. Nice work!

great

Good

I have been impressed with the simplicity and functionality of this app. Don't hesitate down load it now!

Poor explaination on subject matter

Great I feel safe

Does what it says. Lot of people after using this app will want to disaable their wifi completely because of all the fake wifi trying to connect to their phones. I found that by simply shutting off wifi and shutting off your location service the attempts to connect to your phone will stop. Also make sure to delete any saved wifi.
