Az android rendszerű telefonok túlnyomó többsége rendelkezik WiFi antettával és alkalmas 3G-s adatforgalom bonyolítására. E kettő előfeltétele az internet használatának a készüléken.

Ezzel a kis programmal valamennyi WiFi hotspot feltérképezhető, így kiválaszthatjuk otthoni, vagy más ingyenes hálózatot.
