Reviews

Introduction

If you’re considering visiting New York anytime soon then be sure to keep New York Free WiFi handy on your iPhone and iPad so that you can easily get online without having to shell out for extortionate roaming fees.

The developer of this app certainly doesn’t win any points for the way they’ve presented the content in this app because the generic interface is a bit of an eyesore!

Even so, I think you’ll find New York Free WiFi to be a trusty and reliable resource that will help you to ensure you don’t get caught offline.

While you’re traveling in New York you’ll probably notice that there are cafes left, right, and center, so just about everywhere you look you should be able to find a local establishment that is offering free Wi-Fi.

On the other hand, if you’re not so lucky or you find yourself in a more obscure neighborhood then you’ll definitely be able to make good use of this app as it uses your  device’s integrated GPS to help find the nearest Wi-Fi hotspot.
