Freerunner Android App, from Bluesulphur

Bluesulphur has released its latest Android App - a WiFi hotspot finder for free WiFi provider Freerunner for use on a new Android Tablet device.

Freerunner has an aim to bring free internet access to everyone using big brand locations to host the network. This, it says, encourages business; Costa coffee shops benefit from sales as WiFi users enjoy coffee while surfing the net, or catching up with emails; visitors to Phones 4U can play with devices, connecting to the internet provides a better experience for customers checking out devices and impacts their choice of purchase.

Working with leading smartphone development house Compsoft, Bluesulphur designed the interface and user experience for the Freerunner app that is released preloaded on to new Android devices that would illustrate a list of Freerunner WiFi hotspots based upon the geographic position of the user.

Using Google Maps as the display mechanism, Compsoft developed the geolocating application, enabling the user to view, not just where the hotspots are, but also to find out about the host be it a high street coffee shop, a community centre or a car showroom. And because it integrates with Google mapping services, the user is able navigate to the appropriate WiFi hotspot.
