Interface is really clean. I like it a lot. 2 questions though:

• An account at the hotspot where your log in data (e.g. username/password or phone number) is always the same

At my university, a password is required to join the wireless network, and there is web authentication once you try to surf. Must the network not require a password to join or were you just trying to clarify what web authentication is?

After entering my username, password, and pressing continue, I am directed to a page where I have to hit an "agree" button before gaining web access. Hence, when AutoWiFi is attempting to learn this network, it fails to gain web access after I enter my login information. Is this a current limitation of the program?

I guess.. one more question... Where would you like questions and feedback to be sent/posted?

Also, when this hits the App-Store will it be free or cost money?

Regardless, I think you've got me sold. Email will be sent shortly.

Also, is this functional/stable as of now? I don't need any beta stuff that's going to cause me to restore. Thanks!

Issues of price and availability will be discussed later

The program is fully functional and stable. The current beta version is actually a release candidate, so if no serious problems crop up during the beta this is the version you will see in the app store. But, to add, official app store apps (ie, apps that run on non jailbroken iPhones/Touches) run in a so called sandbox. So, even if an app was unstable and crashed frequently all that would happen is that the app would kick you back to your home screen. In theory (and I say in theory because there might of course be a bug in Apples sandbox system) an official app store app cannot crash so badly that it would force you to restore.

Question 1: I was just trying to clarify what web authentication is, AutoWiFi will work for a network which requires both a WEP/WPA/WPA2 key and web authentication. Apples built in software will take care of the first part and AutoWiFi takes care of the second.

Question 2: Aha, a double part authentication... Now thats interesting... No, the current version of AutoWiFi will not support this however it might be possible to add it. Please contact us via the beta email address and explain the login process in detail and we'll see if we can to anything.

Question 3: As with the previous question and mentioned in the beta acceptance email, please post all feedback and any questions you may have by replying to the email you received. While i follow this thread its not actually officially part of the beta process

The beta is still open. Follow the instructions in the original post to apply.

Alright man, I've been using this for a few days and it works awesome! I'm glad I was able to get into the beta.

Maybe in the future a true auto-connect could be implemented (without having to enter/exit the app to establish connection) if it isn't too resource intensive?

Anywho, I highly recommend this app to anyone sick of having to continuously enter a wifi password.

[Iman07]

well this app didnt work for me and i sent in all the info to them and they havent even emailed me back.

How would this fair on AT&T hotspots, it's browser-based authentication but a bit iffy, they send you an internet link via sms to you after you put your number in on the authentication site.

Glad to here that it works for you.

This feature is impossible to implement as apple won't allow at at this time. Have you sent a feedback mail back? we're still awaiting responses from many users.

I'm afraid we didn't receive this email (which is why we haven't answered already). We are very interested in feedback, and very interested if the app seems not to work for you. If you are having troubles reaching us via email you can PM me the email you sent us and I'll make sure its read and responded to.

Thats a good question, for which I have no answer. AutoWiFi should be able to do the first part for you (send in your mobile number) but you would still have to click on the link in the sms you'd receive. We would be interested in knowing what exactly happens on the AT&T hotspots when using our software so if you would like to you can send an email to the address provided on the first page (make sure you state you would be testing on AT&T hotspots) and we'll send you a beta copy to try it out.
