APPOLICIOUS ADVISOR RATING:

4 of 5 bars
  • PRICE: Free
  • TASTY: Locate free Wi-Fi spots and bookmark your favorites.
  • BUMMER: iPod Touch users need wireless access to search before leaving home.
  • COOL: Dial listed numbers from Google Maps to see if location really does offer free Wi-Fi.

Free Wi-Fi Finder is made for the people who sit in coffee shops and ask, “I have to pay for Wi-Fi and this $4 drink?”

For iPhone owners, Free Wi-Fi Finder automatically detects your location and searches the nearest businesses that offer free Wi-Fi. You also  can search by city or zip code. Each location pops up with a name, phone number and address that links directly to a Google map of the location. Additionally, when you click on a Wi-Fi spot, you can bookmark it for future reference.

If there’s a certain atmosphere you’re seeking for your surfing, use the filter feature to narrow the range of Wi-Fi options to categories such as hotels, bars, restaurants, Internet cafés or health clubs. You also can specify the distance range for searching.

For iPod Touch users who may want to use Free Wi-Fi Finder you need wireless access to search using this app. So search before you leave your home and bookmark the spots in the areas you plan to visit.

With Free Wi-Fi Finder, you'll have extra change to cover the costs of that latte.
