Apple App Store Liftoff!
September 29th, 2008 by dave
I’m excited to announce the availability of Devicescape for iPhone and iPod Touch on Apple’s App Store. Thanks to all of our users out there who have been so patient: it took us a lot longer than we thought to figure out how to make this release!
As you can see in this screen shot, the new version looks quite a bit different. Because of Apple’s current limitations on running in the background you need to launch the app to login. But you can manage your account and check your usage history directly, which I think is quite handy.
If you’d like to check out the application, search for “Easy WiFi” on iTunes or download it directly from the App Store.

Hey,
I think Devicescape is a great idea, however I cannot accept to pay (GBP1.19 ~ USD2.40) for a tool.
I was looking forward to having the Devicescape client available on my Apple device and also considering purchasing some credit to use some wifi hotspots but I will have to do without and use the 3G network.
Best of luck,
Nic

I bought as soon as I read about this on WiFiNetNews, but it doesn’t work on AT&T hot spots.

Are you charging for Devicescape on the iPhone now, or is there still a way to download the application for free?

Jason,
Easy WiFi works fine on ATT hotspots. It’s a little different from others in that you need to include your domain suffix in your username. So you need to use something like jason@attwifi.com or jason@sbcglobal.net to make it work right. It’s a hangover from AT&T’s multiple consolidations and it bites a lot of users.
Hope this helps.

Nic,
Sorry you can’t afford the $2, but at least you can log in manually.

Brian,
Yes, we are charging for the iPhone. You can still get the jailbroken versions for free on iPhone 1.x. Other ways you can get it for free is to offer to test beta versions or download the developer SDK.
Thanks
Dave
