Your wireless network is a reliable source of connectivity as you travel, work, play or go about your daily life. But the savviest connectors are finding and using public WiFi resources regularly to save money on their wireless bills.

If it’s time to get serious about finding WiFi for your on-the-go lifestyle, check out the WiFi Map app for iOS or Android. WiFi Map uses crowdsourced information on the location of free WiFi sites around the world, and also offers maps that you can download for offline use—which should be pretty slim once you get the hang of the app, right?
