WifiTrak (2.5) by Bitrino

As I've used my iPhone over the last year, I've often wondered how well the built-in wifi finding worked; I know there have been times when it's flaky with the home setup.

So I followed our normal app research protocol and dug up WifiTrak a few months ago and have been testing it ever since.

The app finds wifi hot points in abundance, both open and closed! I'm sitting here in a small Canadian town, and there are 4 closed and 1 open wifi networks around this location.

This app has saved my bacon a couple times while on the road. It dredges up wifi networks like flies on a dead dingo's donger. Stuff that the iPhone on it's own was not registering.

It shows the wifi spots it discovers in order of usability and signal strength. I had some trouble at first with it logging on to nearby open networks while taking me off closed networks I was a already on, but I then set it to not auto join and life's good!

The app gives you a lot of info like MAC address, Channel, Signal Strength (RSSI), Noise, and Authentication (WEP/WPA/WPA2) for each wifi network it finds. There are also settings to auto login, auto launch Safari or email or a URL.

This is a handy tool for us road warriors. For .99 cents, I've certainly gotten my money's worth and I give it a 4/5.
