About this app

Smart WiFi Selector - always the strongest WiFi connection!

You know the problem: although a strong WiFi signal is available nearby, your device is keeping the connection to a much weaker, more distant WiFi network. You have to disable and reenable WiFi on your device to force the strongest WiFi connection. Smart WiFi Selector puts an end to this situation! The strongest WiFi connection will always be established automatically.

Advantages over other WiFi Switcher apps:
* Smart WiFi Selector uses the (selectable) difference in signal strenght to decide when to switch to another WiFi. The connection to the new WiFi will happen if the signal is e.g. 20% stronger than the current signal. This eliminates the constant switching - and, with this, constant signal interruption - in the overlapping area of 2 WiFi networks.
* Selectable scan interval for the search for the strongest WiFi connection
* It's possible to exclude specific WiFi networks from scan
* Instant scan for the strongest WiFi connection when the screen gets switched on
* Favors 5GHz networks, if desired
* Sleep mode with own scan interval to save battery. The sleep mode can either be triggered by time or by the connection to specific WiFi networks. For example, if there are multiple WiFi networks at work, but only a single network at home, you may want to put your home network on the sleep mode list. As soon as you leave your home network, Smart WiFi Selector will enter the normal work mode.
* Option to switch to mobile data connection at poor WiFi signal strength

Because of all these benefits, Smart WiFi Selector is the most flexible and most battery-saving WiFi switcher-app in PlayStore!

It didn't work for me. I have 2 routers in rooms separated by thick walls. With this app my Note 8 would usually connect to the stronger router eventually, but hardly ever to the weaker one even when right next it. When i asked the developer for help I got the standard response about having location enabled & battery optimization disabled, both of which is already done.

The app does do what it advertised but causes issues at times. When it is enabled ro run it causes the ONE UI on Samsung to issue an error. It does not hurt the phone but you need to respond. This app also causes issues where the wifi connection does not occur at times. I need to manually select the wifi on my phone to have a wifi connection. Otherwise, it stays on cellular. I have found that this app only benefits when I am at home. Users with a mesh based network probably doesn't need it.

Great app in theory, but the service keeps closing down and has to be restarted manually at least every morning. I have changed battery settings to allow the app to keep running unrestrictedly and I have also excluded the app from being managed by the Hibernator app. No idea why the service is still stopping... All installation and setup guidelines have been followed (deleted WiFi networks from device setup, battery unrestricted for app, etc). Device is Samsung S10+ with all updates.
