WiFi@Home (v. 1.0.19) Разработано AEB |
Save battery by automatically turning off WiFi when you are not at home.
This lean and easy to use App will toggle WiFi automatically when you cross a given distance around your home location.
The (approximate) location information is acquired from the network, not from GPS.
Android 4.0.4 is the last officially supported Android version. The new Energy Saver Mode limits the functionality of the App and makes it expendable.

[2013-06-25] A Google User: One location. This app has a great concept. The problem is you can only add one location. (I thought I paid for this app a year ago or so, in order to be able to add multiple locations. But I am unsure.) Also, it appears to be a ram hogger. Could be me though. I run a lot of apps. |
|
[2013-06-19] A Google User: Good |
|
[2013-05-18] A Google User: Smart Awesome |
|
[2013-05-11] A Google User: What's happened It used to work really well now it's location is a out by about a mile from home |
|
[2013-04-20] A Google User: Great app Working on SGS3 again. Love it |
|
[2013-03-03] A Google User: Great Works for me!! |
|
[2013-01-26] A Google User: Needs work Sets location to whatever cell tower you're connected to. I can't get it to change to my actual home location. |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Google Nexus 4 Doesn't get my location right if I'm inside or outside. Puts me few miles up the road. Google maps is spot on thou so it isn't my phone. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Worked great on old phone, not on new phone Used this app pretty seamlessly on an HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon, which was still on Android 2.something. Recently upgraded to a Galaxy S3 on Verizon, and nothing happens when I try to hit the Set Home Location. Unless there's a fix, I will have to look for an alternative to find this same functionality. |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: Just ok It would be nice if you could set more than one location for wifi to be on. It seems to leave wifi off for a long time after I arrive home. |
|
[2012-12-07] A Google User: Was Outstanding Then it stopped working for me for some reason. Had to move on to something else. :( |
|
[2012-12-05] A Google User: It doesnt work on sn2... ... |
|
[2012-11-27] A Google User: No gs3 support? Worked like a charm on evo4g, upgraded to gs3, wont allow me to set home location, sad, this app was perfect. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Works when home Saves having to switch on WiFi when home & off again when at work. This app does it all for you! The only app I found that does this. Works like a charm. |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: Interesting Exactly what I need. Not just for battery savings, but also for wifi security in the wild. Multiple AP toggle locations would make WiFi@Home more appealing. Would that feature cost in battery savings? First home set was (as usual) 4 blocks off with network locator. Reran set home location with perfect results. Thanks, Achim. |
|
[2012-10-29] A Google User: Works great Just leave it set at default 2000. At 500 it never turned on my Wi-Fi. |
|
[2012-10-19] A Google User: Galaxy nexus Does exactly what is says it does. Activates your WiFi at any location you want to set as home. Great app |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Used to work great - Very disappointed. I've used this for ages and it used to work great. Now it doesn't grab updated info from GPS or even locate my home network. With the radius so large, I may as well just turn it on myself.:( |
|
[2012-08-29] A Google User: Nice simple work's Works simple |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Be nice if it worked... ... but it doesn't. Displays the wrong location, no way to refresh. |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Pretty good Should have the option to use gps to set your home location if it gets the estimate too far wrong for you and the option to remember multiple networks/locations is a must for future update sometime. Then 5 stars. Other than that its on point : ) |
|
[2012-08-22] A Google User: Sort of what I was after 5 stars if you could also add another location or 2. If u figure that I'd be selling the idea to Google as an add in for the next android OS |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: This sucks! |
|
[2012-08-03] A Google User: Wick@home Good |
|
[2012-07-23] A Google User: Wifi Ayeee |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Does what is says. Dinged 1 star because you can only have 1 "home" |
|
[2012-06-25] A Google User: I love it |
|
[2012-06-08] A Google User: Does what it says Great app, would get 5 stars for multiple locations. Easy enough to toggle service off to connect to other wifi networks. MyTouch 4g. |
|
[2012-05-16] A Google User: Poorly written code To know when smart phone is at home, or away from home, check in settings for connection to home`s wireless router. |
|
[2012-05-11] A Google User: battery life This is the biggest battery killer I've ever seen on a mobile phone. After installing my battery life went down and I had to charge it twice within 6 hours. This is beyond unacceptable... |
|
[2012-05-07] A Google User: Nice idea but... It sets my home location at a cell tower miles away, not the wifi router in my house. Huh?? And I see no way of setting it manually. |
|
[2012-04-28] A Google User: GR8 Is there a similar app for data ? when I leave home Wifi@Home turns off wifi. It would be nice to have another app to then enables data automatically & vice versa when I'm back home. |
|
[2012-04-28] A Google User: This App itself Drains Battery I tested it for two days. My Galaxy Note reports that this app itself takes 8% of batrery. In the name of saving battery this app drains battery. I am uninstalling now. |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: ??? didn't work for me! |
|
[2012-04-21] A Google User: Useless This AP has no idea where you are at any given time if you live in a city w/ more than one cell tower. |
|
[2012-04-12] A Google User: Help full |
|
[2012-04-12] A Google User: Not too good Set my location to Texas when I am in SC! Gor this because I was told it would turn on WiFi when I was at home--Wrong. Uninstall. |
|
[2012-04-06] A Google User: Bad Thinks I live about 10 miles away from where I do. I'm giving it 2 stars for the concept, not for the app itself. |
|
[2012-03-25] A Google User: Worked for about an hour ...then it changed my home location by itself to somewhere about 5 miles away. Google Maps showed my exact spot where this could not. |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: Great It works perfectly! |
|
[2012-03-16] A Google User: Doesn't work for me If I open the app manually it updates the location properly but otherwise it does not update the location and therefor leaves wifi off when it should turn it on. Removing. |
|
[2012-03-06] A Google User: would be great if.. look like a great app but i would try it only if it could store more home locations otherwise enabling/disabling/forgeting it might consume too much power/availability/effort... i'll be following updates to see if this changes and install. tnx |
|
[2012-03-01] A Google User: Works perfect! It works just like it's supposed to and never failed me. I set it for home and as I pull in my driveway it's already connecting! Great app! |
|
[2012-02-29] A Google User: Not for people in small towns.. |
|
[2012-02-22] A Google User: If you live in a small town and there are not that many network antennae in your town, this might not work so well. as others have said, it needs a manual override so that when you know you are home and your phone thinks you are out you can educate the smart device. from the glass half full perspective, it can help you find the network antennae in your neighborhood. |
|
[2012-02-18] A Google User: Needs a manual refresh Seems to have my location wrong more than 50% of the time. I can be 7900+ meters from home while parked in my driveway. Needs a manual location refresh feature, or something. |
|
[2012-02-10] A Google User: Big Potential I like this app except when I'm out at a location away from my home that has WiFi. When I turn on Wifi, this app turns it right back off. Not sure how to fix that, but I do like how it turns off when I leave the house and back on when I come home. |
|
[2012-01-27] A Google User: Network disconnect Hi, love the app, but after last update seems that the app is disconnecting the network when of wifi range. This leaves my phone with no data until i notice and have to manually connect via settings. Please take a look. |
|
[2012-01-19] A Google User: Good app does what it says Works well. Understandably it uses coarse network location, but i set my radius to about 2km and i dont have any problems |
|
[2012-01-18] A Google User: Doesn't update position well I often catch it not having updated my position |
|
[2012-01-13] A Google User: Works really well. Nice job. |
|
[2011-12-30] A Google User: Wrong location Says I'm more than 10 miles away from home. Google maps puts me at home....this app won't. Installing |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: Great One of my most useful apps. I've used it on my old dinc and still running strong on my Galaxy Nexus. Please don't leave bad reviews because you don't know what your doing. |
|
[2011-12-18] A Google User: Horrible Don't bother. This program will not stau running and if it does it won't operate the wifi anyway. I recommend that you just do it yourself. |
|
[2011-11-10] A Google User: Works. Saves battery without having to turn on GPS but, means it need mobile network. Even better if support more than 1 home location;for work. |
|
[2011-08-31] A Google User: Manual Override Needs to let wifi toggle widgets to override so that one can turn on and off wifi easily at, say, a coffee shop. Multiple locations would be nice. |

|
[2011-08-15] A Google User: Pretty good Wakes wifi when I get home as desired, but leaves wifi on when I'm out of my designated home area. So the phone asks if I want to connect to other wif |
|
[2011-08-15] rene: Pretty good Wakes wifi when I get home as desired, but leaves wifi on when I'm out of my designated home area. So the phone asks if I want to connect to other wif |
|
[2011-08-11] Enrique: I find it more accurate and reliable than others. Works well, just wish there was an option to set times for it to not activate wifi. |
|
[2011-08-10] A Google User: Seems to work well but needs the ability to handle an expandable list of locations to become truly useful. Also needs a quick bypass on/off widget. |
|

|
[2011-08-09] A Google User: Easy app, but please, make it possible to add more locations. |
|
[2011-08-09] Timo: Easy app, but please, make it possible to add more locations. |
|
[2011-07-27] A Google User: Works great! ! |
|
[2011-07-27] A: Works great! ! |
|
[2011-04-18] A Google User: Sets my home location 3 miles from my house. No good. Definatly needs a GPS upgrade. Droid X |

|
[2011-03-21] James: No updates for a long time. |
|
[2011-03-15] A Google User: Great App A perfect concept to save on battery which is important. A good improvement will be the ability to add more places like home, work, etc. |
|
[2011-03-15] Ivan: Great App A perfect concept to save on battery which is important. A good improvement will be the ability to add more places like home, work, etc. |
|
[2011-02-24] A Google User: Tried all the location wifi apps. 'LocControl' worked better, is 1$ tho. Can handle ringtone tho as well and seemed much more accurate |
|
[2011-02-19] A Google User: Get Y5 and Wifi Static. Those two apps together will make you life way easier than this app which was 5 miles off. That's just insane. |

[2011-02-16] A Google User: good concept...doesn't always work |
|
[2011-02-16] Nicky: good concept...doesn't always work |
|
[2011-02-15] A Google User: Would be the best of its kind if we could set more places as "home". Needs at least home, work and open for such as airports, please? |
|
[2011-02-15] Gwyneth: Would be the best of its kind if we could set more places as "home". Needs at least home, work and open for such as airports, please? |
|
[2011-02-13] A Google User: Great app. Make sure you decrease the default radius, though. |
|
[2011-02-13] A Google User: Love this app |
|
[2011-02-13] A Google User: I like it, but it needs to work with gps to get better loc info; towers aren't always accurate. |
|
[2011-02-13] A Google User: Great app, status bar icon could be better though. |
|
[2011-02-13] Wali: Great app. Make sure you decrease the default radius, though. |
|
[2011-02-13] doug: Love this app |
|
[2011-02-13] MrB206: I like it, but it needs to work with gps to get better loc info; towers aren't always accurate. |
|
[2011-02-13] Paul: Great app, status bar icon could be better though. |
|
[2011-02-09] A Google User: I want a smaller radius than 500m. Wifi turns off when I'm home and this app desperately needs more than one location to configure. Uninstalled. |
|
[2011-02-09] A Google User: This is a great app. Saves tons of battery. Cyanogen mod on mt4g. If ppl want smaller radius I think they could use GPS based app instead. |
|
[2011-02-09] Nadeem: I want a smaller radius than 500m. Wifi turns off when I'm home and this app desperately needs more than one location to configure. Uninstalled. |

[2011-02-09] Jemtastic: This is a great app. Saves tons of battery. Cyanogen mod on mt4g. If ppl want smaller radius I think they could use GPS based app instead. |
|
[2011-02-08] A Google User: Good app havent noticed any crazy battery usage yet i would really love this app if i could have multiple locations set for work and my GF's house |
|
[2011-02-08] A Google User: I was really excited for this... but sadly my wifi stayed on even when it showed me as outside the radius... [DROID X] |
|
[2011-02-08] A Google User: GREAT APP, BUT RADIUS NEEDS TO BE SMALLER. I.e 20 METERS. WIFI doesnt have a 500 meter range. I live and work in the same radius, so its useless, |
