I admit I’m still trying to get my head around the perspectives on this little app – but here it goes: Speedify is a VPN-type app that will allow you to combine the data streams of Wi-Fi and mobile to ‘get faster Internet’, the company says.
I’ve been trying out the app at home for a couple of days (on iOS), and it seems quite slick. It will connect you to closest VPN server (you get to choose). For me that’s in Amsterdam, but I imagine in the US there are many more options. It will allow you to set up policies and your data limit for your mobile connection, too. It’s simple to use and the UI is well designed overall.
The company (in this quite funny Life Hack video) markets it for in-home use – but just imagine what something like this could do for public Wi-Fi on the go. I’m hoping that perhaps one of my US friends with (for example) an Xfinity Wi-Fi plan would like to try it out and let us know!
