Works maybe 50% of the time. Turns wifi off too often when it should be turnng it on.

It actually works great. Downside is, battery seems to drain faster since I downloaded this app. Fix that, and its 5 stars. Droid X 2.2

Adding a new wifi network is easy. In Wapdroid, press menu, then select WiFi to go to enable wifi and connect. This stops Wapdroid from disabling wifi

With android 2.2 all apps need the option to place on sd card. IMO

Pure genius! A bit sensitive on the edges of the cell towers but if you turn notifications off it wont annoy you. Excellent response from developer.
