Ratings and reviews

Love the idea. The execution has some flaws. The connection doesn't always work well, and whether it's connected or not it always has a notification up telling me that everything is okay and there's no way to turn the clutter off. If I connected to open WiFi APs more often it would probably be worth those minor flaws, though.

Private Wi-Fi is supposed to activate when you use an open Wi-Fi network. Unfortunately it is extremely bad at detecting such. In fact it's never treated any open Wi-Fi network I've connected to as such.

Got this app with my AT&T service over a year ago, and everytime I try to use the app it says something went wrong. I have spoke to AT&T, and they told me to contact the app support so did that, and they told me 6 months ago that they would look into it. App support still has not helped me, and last time I called they said they where busy. Glad I don't have to pay for this app.
