Limited flexibility Loved it to start with but in Singapore I have this rigmarole of having to sign in on some secondary service provider and the username never worked. Am un-installing. can't see point of paying.for a service that works 60% of the time, and never when I really need it.

Not working right This app keeps messing up, always says an errer has accured and I have to keep uninstaling and reinstaling it and when I am connected it only last a few min and I have to log on over and over again.

Meh It has gone down from 5 stars. It has been glitch connecting for me recently.

Poor coverage Tried Boingo in Bangkok and Tokyo and the results are disappointing. Plus the "Whoops!" error message really annoys me after all these failed connection attempt. Suggestion: make sure that when the app claims that internet access is within reach, it actually can go online. Or give a reasonable error message and maybe a refund.

This sucks I work at an airport without free wifi and I am stuck using boing go to connect. when it errors out, which is about once a week, there isn't an update. The only fix is to uninstall and reinstall. Then re enter password, settings etc. plus it uses memory constantly searching for free hotspot which my phone would find anyway. Sucks

Spotty Connection I use boingo on the ferry and the connection is very sporadic. Sometimes the app doesnt detect the hotspot. Usually it drops me during the ferry crossing. I've used wifi on airplanes and get perfect coverage so I wonder why Boingo cant impove their service. It`s so bad that they shouldn't charge for it.

Crap in a bag they charge you monthly for Was forced to get this app just so I could access the "free" wifi in airports on my tablet. Never saw anywhere that it said it was going to be a subscription based app and cant find anywhere to cancel my subscription. This app is extremely slow, sets itself to priority as the wifi signal connection/detection, and has false claims about signal strength or types of access. I later discovered that my default android wifi connection works a lot better, and doesn't cost me a penny to use... Unfortunately after connecting to an access point with it, this PoS app would disconnect me, then reconnect, claiming it was what found the connection. Complete waste of money

Not bad Works pretty well. Seems like it takes a long time to get logged into a hotspot. Also tends to lose connectivity,so at times it will go through a cycle of losing the network and re-connecting,which can be frustrating. When it works smoothly, it's great.

Won't stay connected Unless you constantly using the app. Which won't let you download and/or update apps, etc

Never worked properly for me. Traveled to Korea and Philappines. Would find a signal but would never connect. Had to use settings every time.

Intrusive and poorly designed Doesn't even deserve one star. Great idea but really badly implemented - unusable in my opinion. Also takes credit for getting me online even when I did it myself.

by Nevrus the 1/21/2012

Good Sometimes disconnects but still deservs 5 stars ...

by MoJo the 1/19/2012

Doesn't work very well Usually fails to connect, very slow and in Japan there are hardly any access points. Map only works when you are already online, making it completely pointless.
