Would give zero stars if I could

In the center of Copenhagen. In two days of travel, I have connected to one hotspot which was nearby my hotel where I didn't need it. Save yourself the money and frustration and figure out another option. This clearly isn't it. Called AT&T to remove it and they stated that there are "known issues with the app".
Worthless

On a trip to Paris, a city where you'd expect at least some hotspots, could not find any hotspots in app. Worse yet, I had to get a wifi connection first because app relies on internet to load map data and lists. Presumably. If there are actually hotspots somewhere in the world. I get the fact you need internet to get updated info on hotspot availability but an app like this should have a synced offline database of hotspots. In my common use case as a traveler avoiding cellular data that would be key. But so would having a hotspot in one of the most visited cities in the world....
One-Star Because I Have To

Wow. This app (and AT&T's customer "support" system) is an absolute nightmare. Once I had it downloaded, the app usurped all of my other wifi connections AND wouldn't allow me to delete it with the iPhone's normal tap-and-hold (or, "no, you need to PRESS-and-hold it" — oh, okay, thanks so much, Janelle at support, because that is exactly what I was doing. Super helpful.) I'm on a bus trip with a sweet group of older folks who are napping. Instead of enjoying the scenery, I tried to save my phone from this tyrant application. After chatting online with "Steve" and "Gustavo" on ATT.com, watching a suggested video on deleting apps from an ANDROID device (not terribly helpful), and being told how wrong I was from Janelle over the phone, the app has been deleted and I didn't teach any of these elders new vocabulary, nor did I vent in a piratical tirade. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. And think about choosing another carrier.
Never worked.

Installed before visiting Lisbon and the Azores in Portugal. Never successfully connected to a single network. Found a couple it said worked but they all required some membership. Much more successful just searching for networks manually.
Worthless is an understatement

Traveled to Croatia, Australia, Estonia, Germany. Never ever found a single AT&T wi-fi. Haven't found any across the US either. Cannot even find a map showing where AT&T wi-if coverage exists. The conclusion is that there really is NO AT&T wi-if and they just want you to think you will get something for what you paid. Worthless - don't be fooled like we were.
Barely worked

I was able to use this app to connect to wifi ONCE on my 10 day trip to Ireland. Don't even bother downloading.
Do not use

After I installed this app, there were very long wifi-related delays where the entire UI was unresponsive. Removing this app fixed the problem. This is on an iPhone 5c.
Fail

Finding things on a map shouldn't be made impossible, yet at$t found a way to do just that.
App does not work
Wolfex
The instructions do not work. You try and load a profile and it says you must delete the old profile first. There is no option in the app to delete the old profile. Also tried to use it in Australia and it never worked for any of the local hotspots there.
