About Wifi Shortcuts+

Simple but powerful widget to view and control WiFi directly from your home screen. Switch easily between multiple networks such as 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. Use a widget to monitor the status of a specific access point. Use a "shortcut" to automate switching to a specific network. Create and aliases/nicknames for each network. Schedule tasks to enable/disable or connect to a network.

Features:
• Tested on Oreo, Pie, and Q; Samsung, Pixel, LG.
• 7 widgets to choose from.
• Help screens for every widget.
• Shortcut for automating switch to a network.
• Create custom names/labels for your networks.
• Schedule tasks to manage your WiFi connections.
• Customize your widget with 100's of color combinations.
• Save and restore your nicknames, custom colors and tasks.
• Highly-conservative battery consumption.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a widget and shortcut application. Use your launcher to find the widget (or shortcut) and drag it to your home screen. Also, the app cannot be moved to the SD card because the widgets will not work.

Widgets (vs shortcuts) are small apps that run from the home screen when certain events take place. To keep battery drain to a minimum, the widgets in this application only update in the following cases:
• When you unlock the device.
• When you enable/disable WiFi.
• When you connect/disconnect from a network.

LOCATION: Starting with Oreo 8.1, Google also requires your location setting enabled.
Otherwise information about the current WiFi connection and the nearby access points will not work. This is an issue with Android and not the app itself.

Permissions:
• Approximate location: Need for WiFi scan.
• Location enabled (8.1): Need for accurate WiFi information.
• Read/modify contents of SD card: Load an icon. Save and restore settings.
• Connect/disconnect WiFi: Connect to your network when shortcut tapped.
• View WiFi connections: Show you a list of networks to choose.
• Install shortcuts: Place your shortcut on the home screen.
• Prevent sleeping: Run tasks at a specific time.
