Latest update does not start on my hero. Force close every time.

Q70%

Now this is awesome! It works on the Motor Droids. Now if you could get it to work on the Droid Eris it would be double awesome.

Simply, Brilliant!

Y70%
by Y####:

Fantastic idea and nicely implemented!

K70%
by K####:

Would work perfectly, but it auto adds cells to the APs profile. So i either can manually delete 20 cells every day or my wifi stays on always!

Y70%
by Y####:

most recent update is constantly enabling and disabling on nexus one. worked much better before update, please fix as its unusable as is.

W70%

Really exellent! I love it!

C70%
by C####:

Thank you so much, this is the perfect solution to wifi battery drain. Alot better with the updates.

M70%
by M####:

Not turning my wifi back on when near known networks like its supposed to. Uninstalled

Y70%
by Y####:

Great idea, but poor implementation. Application always unloaded and applies wify only when explicitly launched

U70%
by U####:

Terrible looking and written app, why is it still stuck in GB days? Terrible developer with a horrible attitude in reddit.

U70%
by U####:

Great app, please add the ability to mark hotspots as mobile. Currently it breaks the flow.

U70%
by U####:

Can't access the View Cell menu to ignore cell towers. Useless app because of this...

U70%
by U####:

It is close to perfect for anyone using fixed and not ad hoc WiFi networks. It really saves a lot of battery. In the most aggressive setting you would have to let any BACKground app that needs net use 3G/2G Optimally it should have had a "white list" for apps that would invoke wifi when active in background.

M70%
by M####:

Dev is super awesome fixes everything thanks so much u rock

R70%
by R####:

Greaaat just what i need

U70%
by U####:

Best app ever. It works! Conserve battery powered by disabling wifi.

U70%
by U####:

Works well if you have places far separated, otherwise problems. Needs option to use GPS periodically for a more accurate location check.

R70%
by R####:

Adding a new wifi network is easy. In Wapdroid, press menu, then select WiFi to go to enable wifi and connect. This stops Wapdroid from disabling wifi

N70%
by N####:

Too many partial cpu wakes as indicated by Spare Parts. May be a battary draining issue, though i hadn't tested it yet.

B70%
by B####:

kept wifi on before now knocks it off since my aunt came back and got back on the connected landline

A70%
by A####:

Was OK before update. Now turns wi-fi on in locations far from known networks on HTC Gratia.

U70%
by U####:

Please add wispr wifi login like t-mobile/att hotspot

U70%
by U####:

It actually works great. Downside is, battery seems to drain faster since I downloaded this app. Fix that, and its 5 stars. Droid X 2.2

U70%
by U####:

Drains my battery noticably.

T70%
by T####:

Awesome app, does exactly what it says its going to do! Really impressed with the UI.

S70%
by S####:

With android 2.2 all apps need the option to place on sd card. IMO
