What is Reddit's opinion of Smarter WiFi Manager?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

For Android users, there is an app to switch off your wi-fi when you move outside of an approved area.

It's probably also hackable with IFTTT or similar but for me this was simpler and it doesn't have any external dependencies (plus, IFTTT and similar services have their own privacy implications).

• Smarter WiFi Manager should be built-in, it avoids unnecessary battery usage of searching for networks and leaking network access points while at it.
• Vibrate should be a DND mode, just like the three kinds of silent are.
• Location settings should be respected in the quick settings toggle - if I use device only, don't switch it to high accuracy when toggled. Also would be nice if it is only enabled for a minute unless an app actively uses it (like how Bluetooth works).

Turned off location, NFC, auto-rotation.

• Location because I can never be sure when it's enabled otherwise, surely I can toggle which apps get access to it in the first place, but not when they use it.
• NFC because I don't have application for it now, and even when I will I don't need it 24/7. Would make sense to keep it enabled during the day only for example.
• Auto-rotation because like other commenters claim, it is more of a nuisanse than not. It would be useful if it either looked at my eyes before attempting, displayed a confirmation prompt like iPad or just worked with more rotations in general (reading in a vehicle stabilization for example).

Smarter WiFi Manager does the same for Android, which is handy for privacy & to save battery.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kismetwireless.android.smarterwifimanager&hl=en

Thanks for the write up. A few points for feedback or onward discussion.

802.11w introduces protected managemnet frames which can assist in disabling some of these attacks.

There are already a few ESP8226 and scapy based deauth detectors available which may be of interest https://github.com/spacehuhn/DeauthDetector

KarmaDetector https://github.com/pmbento/karmadetector/wiki is a good script to detect use of pineapples or similar attacks.

Another great tool from kismet, only allowing connections to wifi in areas you trust. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kismetwireless.android.smarterwifimanager&hl=en_GB
