Great app to connect to global wifi hotspots anywhere in the world. Thank you iPass!
Cool

I tried the 24 hours trial and it worked pretty well at the Miami airport and with the gogo in flight wifi.
Works so/so

This app seems to work ok for go-go, but absolutely prevented me from connecting to free internet at Marriott properties. My work-around is deleting the app before connecting to free wi-fi then disconnecting. I also have had the same issue on United's wi-fi ET.Al.
Spectacular useless

Install it if you have no other option for wifi. Hope it works at all, which is unlikely. Then uninstall it as soon as you can. And reboot your phone. And reset your network settings.
This app rocks!

I have the hardest time finding decent speed and secure wi-if when I travel. This app takes so much of the guess work out of it, that I find myself enjoying business travel again. Thank you, iPass!
How is this not a Virus?
Prevents WiFi
I really, really HATE this APP and have removed it as there is no way to turn it off! I would rather do without WiFi in the 1% of cases where there is no free WiFi and I can't manually log on than have to deal with its intrusive behaviour in the 90% of the cases where there is a free WiFi available. Essentially, if the WiFi to which you wish to connect (like in an Airport, Hotel, Coffee Shop, basically everywhere these days) doesn't subscribe to their pay to access network [because they're FREE, duh!] then this APP jumps in, tries to connect, fails and then DISCONNECTS you. There is NO way to stop this thing, no only does it always run in the background, whether or not you start it or not, but there is no 'OFF' in the settings! The ONLY way to log onto a Free site that iPass latches onto, is to individually type in each and every hotspot SSID that it should ignore. The hotel in which I am now sitting has at least 38 different SSID's which I would have to enter for just this one hotel. Avoid this until it doesn't start until asked, goes away when told to, and has an OFF switch.
Not a virus; Bug fixed

@ PreventsWifi ; very sorry you encountered this issue - it was a bug that caused the disassociation in a small subset of hotspots - that is not the normal behavior. We have corrected that issue in version 3.5.0. Very sorry for the inconvenience - iPass Team
