Never worry again about being cut off from the internet when you're away from home.

The Wi-Fi Finder app tracks down your closest free hotspots in more than 144 countries.

Designed for the iPhone and iPad, it's quick and free to download, and comes with a search filter so you can look for the nearest restaurants, hotels and shops with Wi-Fi.

When you find the location you want to use, it gives you their phone number and directions for getting there.

It's a handy way of keeping connected on the road, though some reviews say the service is patchy in places.
