----------
Since Wi-Fi Widget is accessible even from the lock screen, it's the fastest possible way to see, test, and share your wifi.
A few scenarios with and without Wi-Fi Widget:
1) "Why Google is taking so long to load??"
- WITHOUT: You seethe with anger and wonder how long you should wait until you throw your phone against the wall.
- WITH: Swipe down to Today and Wi-Fi Widget shows you you’re connected to some random router named “NETGEAR” with no internet.
2) Your friend comes over and asks, “what’s the wi-fi here?”.
- WITHOUT: Find that scrap of paper somewhere with the 20 character long random string, dictate it multiple times to your friend and screwing up because “sorry, M, not N… and it’s all capitalized… wait start over… okay never mind I don’t really need the internet here."
- WITH: Swipe right from the lock screen and tap “Share” on Wi-Fi Widget.
3) You’re wondering “is it just my crappy Comcast cable, or is this site actually down?”
- WITHOUT: You’re like, “ARGH, NEVER AGAIN, COMCAST…"
- WITH: Swipe down to Today, tap Wi-Fi Widget. It immediately tells you either how quickly your connection can ping the internet, or “ERROR: Couldn't reach internet.”

Why fight your wi-fi? Get the widget that saves you time and frustration.

Customer Reviews
Not all free, needs clarification
Edit: In response to the developer's reply, it is apparent that this was not intentional on the developer's part. However, the app's description should really clarify that not all features are free, and say which ones are and aren't. This would avoid a lot of disappointed people getting the app only to see they must pay for the feature they want.
Original review:
I found this app in a list of "limited time free apps for today", but it is virtually useless without an in app purchase, required for everything but seeing your network name which can already easily be found in settings, making this "free" app useless.
Was looking for just this function.
I get so tired of having to stop what I'm doing and tap Settings… to see which zone of our house I'm on, or whether I'm on a secure network or not. This is a quick and simple way to be sure.
Pretty convenient
I have friends coming over all the time, and this is pretty easy to share passwords, especially the more complex ones.
Edit: still using when friends are over! Great purchase
