About Wi-Fi Ruler (a WiFi Manager)

A Wi-Fi manager that can do all the regular stuff plus:

* Automatically connect to open access points as you walk by
* Skip "open" access points that are actually paywalls
* You can set connect priorities
* Differentiate between multiple access points all called "linksys" or "dlink", etc
* When connected will automatically check your connection (or say OK to click wall if that rule is set)
* Option to exit with or without Wi-Fi enabled
* Plays nice with access points you already have setup

Note: the option "Make Android Wi-Fi entry for APs we don't connect to" is enabled yet. Please just ignore that for now.

Might work for kit kat. Doesn't work at all on Marshmallow.

Doesn't work with Android 7. Can't save settings. Broken and abandoned :(

Q70%
by Q####:

No matter which connection I choose it says it can't be blocked because it's busy. Useless.

Boring app

Nexus4 still connecting to pay walls constantly even though they are marked as such

Kept popping notifications that it's connected, but isn't.

Y70%
by Y####:

App was last updated in 2014, seems to be abandoned. "Android would not let us save this change..." Quite glitchy on stock Nexus 6p with Marshmallow MTC19T version. I wanted control over the AP's my phone would auto-connect to, either by SSID or MAC id. I don't want to connect to XfinityWiFi while driving, but occasionally I do want to (manually) connect, so saving those credentials is desired. Uninstalled before it caused issues.

Unimpressed so far. I'll give it a few more tries.

K70%
by K####:

After trying to get this app to work, I've downgraded my review. 1) Not only does the app require passwords for "never connect" APs, but it puts that password in the system settings for that AP, thereby breaking existing connections that also require a user ID. WTF? I'm telling the tool to ignore the AP, not connect to it. 2) It can't connect to my work AP that requires a user ID. 3) Why is there no option to not show the bad/blocked APs?

C70%
by C####:

After constantly connecting to bt open zone every time I went outside, this app has finally allowed me to permanently block this useless network. No more automatic collections to open zones that charge to connect! (And no, just forgetting the irritating network in the settings doesn't work permanently).

H70%
by H####:

I have used this for a week and does exactly what i need it to - only connect to my home and work wifi automatically and not hundreds of other networks! *****************************does not work after some time, reconnects to new free networks. In a busy city this makes my 4g unusable. PLEASE JUST ADD SIMPLE OPTION TO ONLY CONNECT TO KNOWN NETWORKS!

K70%
by K####:

Does exactly what I wanted: prevents connection to all those random open, click - through networks. Hint: in your settings delete all networks you don't want, then turn the app on. You're done. Going forward your phone will only connect to the networks you didn't delete, and any new ones you intentionally connect to.

Forgets passwords I tell it to save, repeatedly switches to clickwall access points *while connected to my designated home network.* Useless garbage.

K70%

if "password is required" when click Save ?

Awsem

nice

K70%

This would be a great program if it actually ignored the paywalls and clickwalls you told it to ignore.

App allows you to identify networks you don't know the password to. When you choose this setting, App requires you to enter the wifi password you just told it you don't know.

Phone: HTC-1X. My WiFi always says I am Connected to my home Network, but can't get on the net, so I download this and it showed me the TRUTH, that my phone is stuck trying to aquire IP. Thanks for this Brilliant Tool. Now I know my WiFi Router or phone has a fault that needs fixing. that's my next job.

I was hoping to be able to mark certain open networks as never to be used, but it still connects to them.

Good concept, but simply does not work, still connects to.paywall networks

R70%
by R####:

Thought it worked, but I found it connecting to open access WiFi that I had blocked :( S4.

M70%
by M####:

I would give 5 stars and buy the paid version if it had the ability to export for email my list and import it back after a phone format, and if it doesn't ask a pass word for the closed APs... It's closed, I don't have the password. Also a option to automatically disable the wifi when I'm not at specified locations would be great!
