Can reset your internet connection if needed. Just should be able to look at account info. As well and Shaw on the Go instead of having multiple apps.

Map shows dead Wi-Fi access points no longer in existence..... Application does not include a register this device button ... SHAW CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ASSIST FREEDOM MOBILE CUSTOMER without a Shaw account. Even hear you admit you won't help anyone unless you're a Shaw PAID account... I PAY MY BILL THROUGH FREEDOM MOBILE ... As a subsidiary FREEDOM MOBILE CUSTOMER should be included in the shaw customer service ... period???

This app doesn't work am not able to get Wi-Fi hotspots or Shaw open anywhere even though I have a valid ID it doesn't connect.

Useless App. Does not work offline. I have the 17.6 MB offline dataset installed and when you try to use the app it says that I have no Internet to show the map. If I had Internet or Wi-Fi I wouldn't need this stupid app.

DISCLAIMER: I used to love this app. It would tell me where my sharpen Wi-Fi was coming from and all the other hotspots. However, now every time I open it, it just says search error could not load results. I believe this is a result of shaw and Rogers merging together but IDK. Please fix 😭

I used this app for years. Even after the switchover to Rogers. It does not work anymore! I can't connect in any hotspot and my map does not work.
