Connected Wifi Info

Review by eFreeware

Most phones keep a surprising amount of WiFi detail out of sight. You can see which network you are on, but the finer points, like the exact SSID, the saved networks tucked away in the system, or how strong the signal really is, take a trip through settings menus to find. Connected Wifi Info exists to put that information in one place.

It is a free Android app from developer Fa9ssa, listed in the Libraries & Demo category and supported by ads. The install numbers suggest it has found an audience: more than 500,000 installs and a 3.9 average across 25,993 ratings. It first appeared in May 2019 and was last updated in August 2026, so it is not a project that was published once and left alone.

One screen for the network you are on

The core of the app is a readout of your current wireless connection. It shows the network you are connected to, its SSID, and the related details that describe that connection, along with signal strength and connection status. Rather than hunting through the system settings, you get the same picture in a single view.

The developer's pitch is simplicity: a clear interface that makes your WiFi status easy to check. That is a modest goal, and for the right person it is a useful one. If you have ever wanted to confirm which access point your phone latched onto, or how strong that link is, this is the sort of tool that answers the question directly.

The app also covers the networks saved on your device, not just the one you are using at the moment. That wider view is what separates it from the single line of information the status bar gives you.

Saved networks and stored passwords

The feature most people will come for is password viewing. Where the Android version and the device allow it, the app can display the password information for networks your phone has saved. The developer frames this as a memory aid: the network you joined months ago and whose password you have since forgotten.

That is a genuinely practical use. Guests ask for the WiFi code, you have it stored somewhere in the phone but no way to read it, and a tool that surfaces it saves an awkward search. The same applies when you are setting up a second device and need to retype a password you never wrote down.

The important qualifier is that this depends on your device and system version. Password display is not something an app can promise uniformly across Android, and the developer says as much. On some phones it will work; on others the system will not permit it.

What the app will not do

It is worth being clear about the boundary the developer draws. This is a viewer, not a key to other people's networks. The app will not break into, guess or work around WiFi passwords, and it cannot open networks you have no permission to use. It reads what is already on your own device.

That distinction matters because the category attracts tools that promise more than they deliver. Here the scope is stated plainly: information about your own device and networks you have permission to use. If your interest is in getting onto a network you have no right to, this is not the app for that.

The same honesty applies to the results themselves. What the app can show varies with your Android version, the manufacturer's changes to the system, the permissions granted, and other restrictions the platform imposes. Two phones running the same app may not present identical information.

Ads, requirements and the limits to expect

The app is free and carries advertising. There are no in-app purchases. The trade is the usual one for a free utility: you get the information without paying.

The bigger caveat is the dependency on your device. Because the available features shift with Android version, manufacturer and permissions, the experience is not identical from phone to phone. Someone on a recent handset from one brand may see password details; someone on a different model may not. That is a property of the platform rather than a fault in the app, but it does mean you cannot treat every feature as guaranteed before you install.

There is also the question of what the app is for. It reports; it does not manage. It is a window onto your WiFi state, not a control panel for changing it. Anyone expecting to edit networks, troubleshoot interference or optimize a connection is looking at the wrong tool.

A utility for people who want the details

The clearest audience is the person who wants to see what their phone knows. If you have ever needed a saved password you cannot recall, or wanted to confirm the SSID and signal strength of the network you are on without digging through settings, this app is built for exactly that.

It also suits anyone helping others with their home network. Being able to read out a saved password or check which network a phone is attached to makes those conversations shorter. The app turns information that is technically present but practically hidden into something you can look at.

It is a small tool with a small job, and it does not pretend otherwise. The developer's own framing is about making WiFi information easy to check and understand, and that is the whole of the promise.

A modest tool that does one job

Connected Wifi Info is worth installing if you want a straightforward readout of your current connection, your saved networks and, where your device permits, the passwords attached to them. It is free, it is ad-supported, and it asks nothing more of you than that.

The 3.9 average across a large number of ratings suggests a tool that works for many people without delighting all of them, which is about what you would expect from a utility of this scope. The device-dependent nature of the password feature is the main thing to keep in mind: what you see may differ from what someone else sees.

My recommendation is for the practical user rather than the enthusiast. If you want your WiFi details in one readable place and accept that the platform decides how much it can show, this is a sensible addition to your phone. If you are after network control or recovery of passwords from networks you never joined, this is not what the app is.
