5/5Very convenient
Easy to navigate, and there was no problem getting Wi-Fi at the airport so thank you

2/5Infrequently useful
Sometimes the app works, but most free wifi in Japan requires an email login. What is particularly irritating is that the app often wants to update by re-downloading from the AppStore. This is a bad experience because I need the app to connect to WiFi. Cellular downloads take too long. So I have to go back to my hotel or find a public WiFi point with email registration in order to use this. I’ll probably end up deleting this app and just use email registration everywhere. It seems like more trouble than it is worth most of the time.

4/5Works well, when it does
Kind of silly you have to set this up prior to connecting to a WiFi it supports. If you connect to one, it tells you to download the app before using the supported WiFi, but it won’t give you internet to actually download the app. Pretty ironic. Other than that, I was able to mostly wonder about Tokyo Station with little issues.

1/5Too much tracking, not enough connecting
This app claims to provide automatic connections, but fails miserably to actually ever do that. Meanwhile, it requires continuous location tracking in the background. Across 16 days in Japan, it only connected my device to a wifi network on four occasions. At least one of those networks didn’t work at all. Save your privacy, and just use cellular / look for a public hotspot if you need one.

1/5Doesn’t seem to work
I checked the tutorial and searched online for other people’s experiences and it just doesn’t seem to work for me. It lists the free WiFi’s around me, but doesn’t connect automatically. Most of the time I just used the WiFi feature of my phone to connect, which means I still had to enter email address to register in order to use the networks.
