How apps for accessing shared Wi-Fi networks work
These applications work thanks to collaborative communitiesReal users share Wi-Fi networks they've used in cafes, airports, libraries, plazas, or businesses. Many apps allow you to save passwords, rate them, and update them for others.
In addition, they have offline mode: You can download maps of available networks in your area before you head out, ideal if you're already offline. Some even integrate VPNs so you can browse safely on public networks.
