WiFi Priority

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
With “WiFi Priority“ it is finally possible to prioritize to which available network to connect first!
Generally all iOS devices rank available WiFi networks alphabetically and connect to the topmost known network in that list first. However, there are situations in which you may want to avoid that and prefer to connect to another known network instead. This is where “WiFi Priority“ comes to your aid. It simply lets you disable the auto-join function for selected networks and thus prioritize the one that you prefer by creating and installing a configuration profile on the device.
Instead of making your device forget the topmost networks you can now prevent them from automatically connecting first. Just enter the network information for the networks you don’t want to auto-connect and let “WiFi Priority“ do the rest. Afterwards your preferred available network will always connect first and you will still be able to use the other networks by just tapping on them in your network list.

Customer Reviews
Delivers what it promises
This app serves a very specific purpose, and all the negative reviews I’ve seen so far stem from the fact that the users who left them completely missed the app’s point. Additionally, contrary to what has been stated here, what it promises and effectively delivers CANNOT be accomplished via the regular graphic user interface, but only with a custom configuration profile. This app streamlines the creation of such profile for you. Please do the App Store community a big favor and refrain from writing misleading reviews when you have no more than a dim understanding of the issue being dealt with in the first place.
Works Great!
I have been searching for months for a solution to the problem of connecting automatically to the last network on a list four on our wireless router without having to delete the passwords on the other three. This app does exactly that! A little clumsy but it works! Remember to enter the name of each network exactly as it appears from the WiFi. I learned the hard way that the name is case sensitive! Once I figured out how to use the app, it is well worth a buck!
Not impressed
Granted, it was only $1.00. However, I ended up just going in and telling the WiFi to just forget a network. Could have done that without downloading app. Went through the setup and it still went to the 2.4 Network after disabling and reactivating WiFi. Shut down and still went to 2.4 Network instead of going to the 5 Network. Back to the drawing board kids! Noticed a review from someone saying that if one didn't understand what the app was supposed to deliver, don't post negative reviews. Haha! Yes, if it was free, I agree. But it was not. So, the only thing I want to see is all positive reviews. That tells me the programmers did what they were suppose to do! Bugs!
