I just open settings. I mean, you're not driving around in a car war-surfing on unsecured networks or something.


...are you? ;)

Apple won't allow such apps since the wifi info is not available through their SDK.
If you jailbreak, then there are several. One is called YFY.

Apple doesn't allow private APIs so the chances of finding an official one are zero now.
I still use an old iPhone one that was withdrawn from the appstore, but which still works fine x2 on 4.2.
Good for going to the local mall and checking out the sheer number of networks :)

If your on win7 you could try the free program inSSIDer which is great for checking local networks and channels etc.. Great for setting up your router, but probably not what you were after.
