About this app

WiFi Auto Reconnect simply detects when your device goes offline (i.e. you lose internet connection) at which point it turns off WiFi (if not already off), then turns it on to try to reconnect to your saved WiFi network. The app can run in the background to ensure WiFi will try to reconnect itself (you'll see the notification icon that it's enabled).

To help you understand where this app would be useful... WiFi Auto Reconnect was made to solve a problem with a phone dropping WiFi connections that needed to stay online and connected. Over time the device would sometimes lose internet connection over WiFi or the router would drop the device and it would not reconnect. This app ensured that the device reconnects to the WiFi network by itself without requiring manual intervention. This app was made as the existing alternative apps didn't keep running in the background (this one is also cleaner to look at).
You will need to ensure that the WiFi network is saved and the option to connect automatically has been checked.

Ratings and reviews

I believe it does what it says it does. Tried others. They failed. I have a campsite on edge of property, I barely get wifi at camp, when I go deeper into the woods to collect firewood wifi disconnects and won't connect on it's own even though it is on. This app always reconnects me! Thanks devs!

I was initially relieved to see that it seemed to work the first time I lost my connection after installing it, but it hasn't worked any other time since, if it in fact ever worked at all. I just checked the app and it seems to be detecting that I am currently connected to wi-fi even though I am not.

Works as advertised except that the app is minimized instead of running in the background. You have to remember not to close the app, which makes it a bit of bummer. But it's free so. Thanks 😀
