How does that save battery? Turning WiFi off just means that the phone will use cellular data for it's internet connection, which uses more power than WiFi. Sure, if you leave mobile data off and only use WiFi then turning it off saves power, but for most people you save power by leaving WiFi on.

My app can also disable / enable the mobile data module, but for this you need root. However, you must be aware of the profits and losses when you use my app. It is best to test it and check the battery status yourself.

Yup.. not seeing any profit here (for me as an end user.. as opposed to you the developer), so think its best if i just do this myself.

That means your app will be a loss for me then, because I already know that using cellular data consumes more power than WiFi, plus I don't have unlimited cellular data and so it could actually cost me more in real terms. And rooting my phone is NOT an option for me.

Yeh, I'm seeing that as well....

It uses its experience and adds maximum effort to make my app as good as possible. And in return, I expect profits. Yes, of course, I create app for profit.

Unfortunately I can't see any benefits for me, and anyone else I know personally in using your app, mainly because non of us have rooted phones, and reasons I've already stated.

Well it will be hard for anyone to test since you've not provided a Play Store link to it

.

There is a recommended procedure for developers wishing to announce an application here: https://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-post-app-game-announcements.1128134/. If you follow that it will allow you to create a subforum for the discussion of your app as well.

The op did post using the Forums app, so there is a play store link in the title (see: download).

Passing on the app. I like my WiFi on 24/7 and don't have any battery issues.

Oh, it never occurred to me that the word "download" in the thread title was a link!

Yeah, it's not for me either: I leave WiFi on most of the time, except when I'm walking across a campus where constantly walking in and out of WiFi coverage means it's better to just use 4G, and again have no power drain problems. And I can use Tasker if I want to control it programmatically in some way.

The application has been rebuilt and updated. I invite you to download.
