WiFiKill Pro is an app that lets you see all the devices connected to your WiFi network. You can also disconnect those devices, giving you complete control over your network.

Utilise your WiFi’s full potential

The problem WiFiKill Pro looks to solve is one of bandwidth. When an Internet connection is being used by many devices, it reduces the maximum speed that each device can access the Internet with. WiFiKill can show you all the devices on your WiFi network and give you the option to disconnect those devices from your WiFi using just the app. The app also allows you to see the network speed of the connected devices, so you can judge which devices are slowing down your connection the most. This way, you can disconnect any bandwidth hogs and improve your own connection. You can also reconnect those devices using the app.

Rooting is required

While WiFiKill Pro is available on other platforms such as WiFiKill Windows, the APK—or Android—version requires you to root your device—a process that grants you and your applications deeper access to the operating system, but also to potential security and functionality concerns. This is not a particularly user-friendly aspect of the installation process, but there are applications to make this easier, such as Super Root Android.

A risky choice

WiFiKiller Pro is not available on the Google Play Store, which, combined with the installation requirement of rooting your device, makes it essential that a trustworthy source is used when downloading, as users report that many “cracked” APKs contain malicious code, such as viruses and malware. There are alternatives to WiFiKiller Pro, such as WiFiKiller, and Netcut, which do not require your device to be rooted.
