Description
The Republic Wi-Fi+ app is for republic wireless Defy customers only (Single and Dual Band). The app provides Devicescape functionality to improve your access to open hotspots. We have also added more rigorous checking of your Wi-Fi connection to determine whether or not your connection can support a Wi-Fi call.
To give you more information on your republic account, we are providing 2 widgets:
- The connection widget gives you more feedback on your connection explaining when calls are going over Wi-Fi or cellular. To get more information, just tap the republic arc and the information message will be displayed.
- The usage widget gives you your offload percentage compared to the rest of the republic users.
Additionally, we would love for you to rate your call to give us more direct feedback: Every 5th call, after the call, we are going to show a pop-up asking how your call was with a simple thumbs up or down.
NOTE: Wi-Fi+ must be installed on internal storage and will use 4 MB or less. The Wi-Fi hotspot database can grow and fluctuate over time and will use external storage, if available.

Ok functionality, cosmetic errors If you have 100 percent wifi offload it displays 10 with the last 0 off screen. Considering this app is only for one phone right now, that seems like a obvious QA oversight.
★★★★★
Vastly improves call quality and user experience Makes call quality consistently good by not using poor to mediocre wifi networks for calls at times when they are not up to the task. Honestly, without this app I probably would have had to return the phone. I would even recommend that Republic preinstall this on all defy xt's they sell, despite the fact that there are already too many apps preinstalled which cannot be removed without root.
★★★★★
Worked great on my defy. Have the moto x now.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't recognize my phone I downloaded this app on my phone and it just keeps saying "this app is only for republic wireless phones"... I have republic wireless & the moto X. Pretty disappointed this app can't even recognize what it's made for.
★★☆☆☆
Battery Sucker Had to unintelligible, used on average 57% of my battery, even more than the screen. Didn't notice any WiFi calling or routing improvement either.
