Description:
Wifi Jumper automatically connects your device to the strongest available known WIFI network. Unknown, but unsecured networks are also supported to be connected to. Additionally, one can define "WIFI Zones" based on the current radiocell, in which your WIFI hardware will automatically be activated.
Leaving a Wifi Zone, Wifi Jumper will turn off WIFI hardware and saves energy. New cell-Ids for already defined Wifi Zones are added automatically while connected to a known WIFI.
In order to save even more energy, you are able to define timezones in which the airplanemode will be automatically (de-)activated. The advantages are not limited to energy saving: no radiation and disturbance while sleeping. Wifi Jumper is the perfect solution for many minor issues, but in only one app.
Note: Wifi Jumper uses android functionality that didn't support App2SD. We strongly recommend to make no use of App2SD!
Wifi Jumper needs the following permissions (reason):
- Location (determine position of WIFI Location on a map)
- Telephony (gather system-id)
- System utilities (autostart, airplanemode start/stop, WIFI start/stop)
- Networking (license check, scan for networks und status)
Note: Please give us a chance to improve Wifi Jumper. Let us know about any bad experiences and problems with Wifi Jumper before leaving any bad comments. We work hard to fix any issues reported by our customers. Thank you very much!

It works perfectly! Now I can go around the house with my Samsung S3 and automatically switches to stronger connection. Awesome app!

Unfortunately, doesn't work well The concept is great, but it doesn't work well. For example, after charging overnight, the wifi will not turn back on without me physically toggling the switch. Without the app, wifi turns back on when I wake the phone. I am not using zones. Also, I believe the app does cause more battery drain. Still, I think it's a good attempt and perhaps would work fine for some.

App does not switch between AP's... Bought the app to switch between AP's in my house but unfortunately, my Google Nexus does not jump to the best Access Point. :-( If this would work, the app would be great...

Works 110% as indicated I had some initial problems due to an older LinkSys WAP54g (802.11g) access point in my rather extended home WiFi environment; however replacing that with a 802.11n device cleared that up. Setting the signal strength threshold to 40% made connectivity while moving about virtually seamless, An A1+ utility!!!

Latest update not so good Following a recent update, it's stopped switching between the two APs in my home. Even if I go to the very edge of the range of the connected AP (with such a poor signal that it's effectively useless) the phone still doesn't connect to the other AP (which is in range with high signal strength). Shame-it had been working really well!

So far so good Would be nice if it would disable Wi-Fi when no strong networks in range, then poll every few

Doesn't switch automatically when off I have 2 WiFi connection at home and the thing is that it's switches automatically only when the phone is turned on, it doesn't switch automatically when the phone is turned off, it doesn't work on the unlock screen too(you have to unlock it).so if you're moving with your phone in your pocket it won't switch to the strongest WiFi unless you turn it on.

Great app - gs3 users please read I have a repeater in my home & after that updated the gingy on my phone, the old app. I'd use to manually switch between the two signals was rendered useless. I found this app and it does the trick automatically and quickly. Only gripe is that the app, even after turning it off, still forces my wifi connection on. Sometimes the wifi signal is very weak & I wanna use 4g. GS3 users: the wifi issue you have is with your Android software, no app will fix that issue. I know Samsung is working on a fix.
