Instabridge app makes WiFi sharing easy and hassle free

Instabridge – Wi-Fi made easy from Instabridge on Vimeo.

Quite often, we visit a friends place and ask for their WiFi password only for them to hand over a piece of paper with an undecipherable scrawl on it. Or you have bunch of friends coming over occasionally with whom you would like to share your password, but only for a limited time. An app named Instabridge might just be the solution to all your problems.

Instabridge

Instabridge lets you share your WiFi password with your friends without having to manually type it in every time. All your friends have to do is install the Instabridge app and send you a request. You can approve only those people who you trust or grant access to them temporarily. You have the option to remove anyone from your network and stop sharing your WiFi with them at any time you want. The app syncs on all devices that you have it installed on. Also, even if you change the password it will automatically sync it across all your friends devices so that you don’t have to manually inform each and every one of them again.

Instabridge community

You also get to be a part of the Instabridge Community, which are hotspots shared with all Instabridge users. These can be hotspots in cafés, restaurants or hotels. If you are Instabridge friends with someone, you can connect to all networks they mark as “shared”, and vice versa. For eg:  If you are part of a group that has Instabridge on their devices, only one person needs to connect to the network, like in a mall. Once that peson shares it, the rest of the group will automatically be able to access it as well.

Of course, you should take care and share your WiFi networks with only those people whom you trust. While this app does make it easy to share with others, at no point should you be lax about the security of your network. This app is currently available for Android only, although other platforms might be supported in the future. Do let us know if you found this app useful in the comments as always.

The Now app for the iPhone makes use of photos from Instagram to judge which place is trending based on the amount of photos taken at that location. So you can know where the cool places are thanks to your friends on Instagram.

Now app cities

Suppose a friend of yours notices a street play and shares a photo of it on Instagram. The Now app will notify you of it and start collating photos of the event that are being shared by other users based on the tags. You now have numerous point of views of the location and can consider visiting it if it appeals to you. Instagram lets users tag their photos with the location at which it was taken. The Now app makes use of this data to make its predictions. Ben Broca, the creator of this app is continuously tweaking the apps code to ensure that you receive relevant results. For eg, a tourist place might attract more than a 100 users every day, but the Now app will give you a notification only when a specific event like an exhibition or an expo is being conducted. and more than 300 photos have been taken at the same place. The app will even send you a push notification if an Instagram friend takes a photo at the same event as you.

The app currently supports only a few US cities but will expand to include more over time.  You can follow the app on Twitter and make your voice heard to include your city in the app.  The app seems to be similar to Foursquare but utilizes data from Instagram instead. Also you can make a judgement of an event based on photos from other users instead of reviews like in Foursquare. This app can be quite useful to discover fun and trendy places around your location in real time.

This app is currently available only for the iPhone. You can download it for free from the app store. What are your thoughts about this app? Do you think you would find it useful? Let us know in the comments below.
