Usefulness:
A good hot-spot finding app is always useful.
Ease of Use:
The app will do most of the work, if it finds a suitable open connection, it’ll go. Else you can specify it to connect to a secured network granted you know the password to authenticate.
Frequently Used:
User dependent, however if used in the home or office, could be used multiple times daily.
Interface:
I must admit, the lil Droid animation is a bit cheesy but the app gets the job done.
