About Wi-Fi Widget
Instantly see, test, and share your wi-fi, without even unlocking your iPhone.
I got frustrated with fighting my wi-fi, so I built Wi-Fi Widget, which lets you instantly see, test, and share your wi-fi. Since it's accessible even from the lock screen, it's the fastest possible way to do this. A few scenarios with and without Wi-Fi Widget: 1) "Why Google is taking so long to load??" WITHOUT: You seethe with anger and wonder how long you should wait until you throw your phone against the wall. WITH: Swipe down to Today and Wi-Fi Widget shows you you’re connected to some random router named “NETGEAR” with no internet. 2) Your friend comes over and asks, “what’s the wi-fi here?”. WITHOUT: Find that scrap of paper somewhere with the 20 character long random string, dictate it multiple times to your friend and screwing up because “sorry, M, not N… and it’s all capitalized… wait start over… okay never mind I don’t really need the internet here." WITH: Swipe right from the lock screen and tap “Share” on Wi-Fi Widget. 3) You’re wondering “is it just my crappy Comcast cable, or is this site actually down?” WITHOUT: You’re like, “ARGH, NEVER AGAIN, COMCAST…" WITH: Swipe down to Today, tap Wi-Fi Widget. It immediately tells you either how quickly your connection can ping the internet, or “ERROR: Couldn't reach internet.
