Reviews and comments:
I've heard that it's unsafe to join public wi-fi networks because your phone can get hacked, and it's awful that you can't feel safe not only at your own house but also just checking the phone in the park.
That's indeed awful, but at least you can control such aspects, so I don't think it's that dangerous. There's no need for you to use public wi-fi networks if you're worried about being hacked. Also, you can always install a motion cam near your front door like this one https://ajax.systems/products/motionc... or get a full security system in your house to make sure that no one would break in, and I believe that's what everybody does.
