UK customers of the BT broadband service have the ability to log on to a nationwide network of BT powered Wi-fi hot-spots. Finding them isn't always a straightforward matter, so BT have released a Windows Phone application that will not only find the nearest hot-spot, but log you in automatically when in range.

From the directory listing:

• Internet access at 4.5 million BT Wi-fi hotspots.
• Save on 3G data bills
• Fast log in process
• Mapping tool to find your nearest BT Wi-fi hotspot
• Quick mapping speeds
• Easy user interface

The biggest benefit is likely to be in the log in process. Normally you have a number of web based screens to step through, including entering username and password combinations. That takes time, and can be a frustrating experience with any mobile browser client, so hats off to BT for coming up with a solution.

The app is a free download from the Windows Store and the AAWP App Directory, as always.
