Hunter's comment

I don't know if you have ever travelled on a journey only to find that your network service provider isn't functional at your new location. Well, if you haven't, I promise you it is a really depressing scenario. If you are someone who is addicted to the internet, you'll feel like a one man on an uninhabited island.

Do you visit cafes or stations just to use the free Wi-Fi? If you need a means of ascertaining where you can get a free hot-spot connection in your locale, then, Open Signal is for you.

Today, I present to you Open Signal, an app with several amazing features which can make your life much easier . I found it while hunting, feel in love with it and ended up downloading it.

These are a few of it's awesome features;

  • It possesses a coverage checker which can help you ascertain whether or not you can make calls or get quick data at your location

  • It contains an interactive map of Wi-Fi hotspots which can help you find free Wi-Fi close to your location.

  • It can provide data to enable you know which network provider works best at your location.

  • It can provide an history of your mobile connection, letting you get information about your data usage and your connection to 3g or 4g.

  • With the Open Signal application, you can determine the average speed for downloads, upload and latency as well as network signal.

  • The data is quite reliable as it is generated from real measurement from various users of the application around the world.

  • Unlike several other applications you don't have to pay for, it is free of ads.

Demerits:

  • You can get fewer data on CDMA networks than you can get on GSM networks.

  • It sometimes zooms in and out unnecessarily.
