User Reviews

User reviews indicate Shaw Go WiFi Finder largely fails after the Shaw-Rogers merger. The main complaints are inability to load search results, frequent errors, and outdated hotspot data. Some users report crashes and device compatibility problems, with certain devices unable to install or run the app. While it was once informative and useful for locating hotspots, maintenance appears lacking and reliability is currently poor.
Pros
  • Provides information about Shaw/Rogers WiFi hotspots and related data
  • Useful hotspot locations and maps when the app loads correctly
  • Historically reliable and helpful before the merger
  • Some users report positive results and find it informative when it functions
Cons
  • Cannot load results; frequent 'search error' / 'network error' messages
  • Hotspot data and locations are outdated or no longer exist
  • App crashes or becomes unusable on some devices
  • Merger-related changes (SSID updates) broke core functionality
  • Compatibility and availability issues on certain Android versions/devices
