About WIFI Power Saver
Don't drain your battery by forgetting to turn off WiFi. Save battery by having this minimal application automatically turn off your wifi/wlan when there is no network available. Wifi Power Saver itself only runs when your wifi/wlan state changes so it does hardly use any battery at all.
Example 1: You are at home where you have a wifi/wlan connection. You turn on wifi/wlan and use your device. When leaving home you loose your connection to your home network, but wifi/wlan is still enabled on your device using battery. Using WIFI Power Saver it will automatically detect that you lost your connection to your home network and disable wifi/wlan on your device, saving battery.
Example 2: You want to check if there are any wifi/wlan networks at your current location. You enable wifi/wlan on your device. If no networks are found WIFI Power Saver will disable wifi/wlan on your device automatically.
Use this application if:
* You want to save battery by not having wifi/wlan enabled when there is no network available
* Want to manually enable wifi/wlan when you want to use it, but not have to remember to turn it off. If you enable notification you can choose to re enable wifi/wlan when you click the notification.
Do NOT use this application if:
* You always want your wifi/wlan enabled searching for networks (uses battery)
* Want your wifi/wlan automatically to connect when networks are available
NOTE: In android 4.1.2 there is a setting under Settings->Wifi->Menu button->Advanced called "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep". The default value has been changed in android 4.1.2 on some devices. If this is not set to always then Wi-Fi will be disabled when your device goes into sleep mode and switch over to mobile data traffic if available. When this setting is not set to always WIFI Pover saver will not work properly.
Tested on HTC Desire. If you have any trouble on other devices please send an email to droidplant@gmail.com

I have a samsung s3 I'm having problems with my wifi not staying off. When I push the lock/power button it turns the wifi on. Was hoping this would disable wifi. Nothing doing

So far so good. The app shuts down my Wi-Fi when I leave my home, leaving me to manually enable it later when I come back. Awesome. Exactly what I was looking for.

This app is perfect. Worked great on my Note 4, works great on my Note 7. Total battery saver. I use this and the Bluetooth app set at 20 min. I do have a feature suggestion... I would love to be able to set my home/work location, so the app would turn my Wi-Fi back on when I got close to either.

It cuts off my wifi while I am using it. Why cant it detect that my wifi is in use? Needless to say I'd rather manually turn it off. Uninstalling

I simply cannot understand why your application needs permissions for reading my media, my location, clipboard, calling, Internet, accounts, sensors, and a few others. Once you explain what your application exactly does with these permissions, I will give a higher rating. I'm excitedly awaiting your response.

Initially appears to turn off wi-fi but soon find it back on again. Very annoying. Can't rely on this app on LG-P970 smartphone with Android 4.0.4.

Been using this app for ages, but recently I get a notification saying it's turned my WiFi off, even though I had been connected and not away. Makes me miss a few messages until I realise the WiFi is off

This app is great, but you could easily flash it out a little more. How about having a Wi-Fi check interval that you could set yourself: every 10 minutes check to see if white listed Wi-Fi stations are available, if so connect, if not disable again. :)

I forget to turn off wifi when i leave home frequently which will just drain the battery by atleast 10%. Now with this app taking care of switching off wifi, I have no problem at all.. Some say it should detect wifi when available... which is impossible without having it on!

App works great except it does not see a screen mirror as an active connection. If you have your wireless router on also, no problem. But if you do not it will disconnect your screen mirroring after two minutes. Galaxy S5

.... Now, my wifi is always turning off, even when in my home or office with wifi on and a "full bar" WiFi signal. Used to keep my wifi on until I left a wifi signal, now it is constantly turning it off. Hoping for a fix otherwise it is GONE.

I'm confused. I've downloaded this app which used to work perfectly on my Galaxy S3 but works only sporadically on the S5. Is there a compatibility issue?

Plus add one more feature for enabling wifi when it comes in range like same as the disable ones. Get rid OFF ADS...

Tiny app that does exactly what it says. You can customize the length of time it waits before switching off.

Works really well, noticeably improves the battery on my Nexus 4. Love the comment from the Google user who gave it one star because it keeps turning off his WiFi. :)

Certain apps have the annoying habit of automatically turning on WiFi whenever they start. Thankfully, WiFi Power Saver comes to the rescue, turning off the WiFi after another app has turned it on. My only recommendation would be that the minimum intervention time be reduced from one minute to ten seconds. Other than that, keep up the good work.

Since I installed this app, it disconnect my WiFi every 3 hours & I have to reconnect. This is despite I am within a few feet of my router. When I leave home, it disconnects, but does not reconnect when WiFi becomes available. Very unpredictable application. Uninstalling.

It switches off wifi while transferring data via wifi direct. Which forces you to switch off the app before you can transfer data via wifi.
