Don’t waste your mobile data plan, use WiFi instead
Your Android can connect to the web using one of two options: your mobile data plan or a WiFi connection. Most people, myself included, prefer to use WiFi, for two main reasons: first up, WiFi is faster; and second up, you don’t have to worry that you’ll use too much of your data plan.
No matter how generous your mobile data plan is, you’re sure to run out if you overuse it. So if you don’t want to waste your data plan, you’re better off connecting to a WiFi hotspot.
The problem with free WiFi is...
When you’re at home, you can connect to your home network. When you’re at the office, you can connect to the company network. When you’re out or when you’re traveling, you have no choice but to connect to a free WiFi hotspot.
“The problem with free Wi-Fi hotspots is they can’t be trusted to be safe and keep your data secure” explained Avast’s Deborah Salmi. “Cybercrooks can eavesdrop on your conversations and even break in to steal personal information.”
If you’re going to use a WiFi connection to go online, it’s best to use a secure WiFi connection. This is where Avast’s new Android app comes in. Avast Wi-Fi Finder helps you locate and connect to fast, free and secure WiFi hotspots.
Avast Wi-Fi Finder – Main Features
Open the map and pick a hotspot to see how far away it is and to get directions to it.
If a network hasn’t been tested yet, you can “blaze the way for others” and be the first to test it. Put your own network to the test, check out a network’s rating before you connect to it.
Avast Wi-Fi Finder promotes a few other apps. Tap the Avast logo to bring up some more of Avast’s Android apps, including Avast Battery Saver and Avast Cleanup.
