TrueCafe Editor's Review

Even when internet access has become cheaper and faster than before, at times you simply cannot avoid going to the neighborhood cyber cafe. When your internet connection conks off or your laptop runs out of battery middle of the road, cyber cafes are the only saviors! Needless to say, cyber cafe owners need to use internet connection sharing setup and apps to allocate bandwidth to individual PCs on the network and monitor usage as well. Age old Windows network sharing is hardly used by any cyber cafe owner nowadays. If you want to have precise control over all computers in your cyber cafe that have shared internet connection and customize web access, resort to third party apps like TrueCafe.

TrueCafe is meant for Controlling and monitoring internet usage in a cyber cafe or small network setup. With provisions for workstation locking, time counting and accounting, this will ensure your cafe operations run as desired without much intervention. It does not offer any hardware or internet service as such.

There are many reasons for a user to like TrueCafe. Apart from its plethora of features, the app also scores points for its low resource consumption. It will support those PCs running older windows versions easily. Apart from desktops, it supports Wi-Fi enabled laptops, tablets and gaming consoles too. For the 10 client version of the app, you have to pay a licensing fee of $99, while the unlimited license will set you back by $159.90. Of course, the latest Windows versions are also supported by this app. After paying the one time licensing fee, you can install the software on the cafe’s server. The setup wizard is really user friendly.

To use the software and avail the benefits, the clients will need to create a user account. The cafe owners can create a software landing page with custom theme for sake of branding. Adding a logo or using company colors is also possible. Since user accounts are stored, regular customers will find accessing the app and internet easier. While the software offers you lots of options to regulate and monitor internet access in cafe, you cannot accept online payments using it. The customers can bring their personal laptops and use the cafe’s network in Wifi mode, when you offer the app.

As a matter of fact, if you look for basic features of a hotspot application in TrueCafe, you will be pleased. You can create the price structure for web access as you want using the software easily. It is also easy to gather usage reports of individual PCs on the network. The detailed tracking and consumption information collected by the software will also help you in creating frequent-usage reward schemes in the cafe.

While TrueCafe allows you to block websites, the app does not come with any list of objectionable websites. You have to add the sites to be blacklisted manually. Considering there are many such sites and the list is only growing with time, this can be rather tedious. Another omission is the ability to control bandwidth for clients.

When you use any software for the first time, it is not unnatural to face some problems. If this happens with you while using TrueCafe, the only resort is email support, the company does not offer phone support and there is no detailed offline help database. However, online support documentation is adequate.

Positive Points:
 -   Low system requirement, wide OS support.
 -   Extensive web usage control and tracking options.
 -   Tailor made for Cyber Cafe network system.
 -   Makes things easier for regular cafe customers.

Negative Points:
 -   No online payment receiving system from user accounts.
 -   No predefined objectionable website list.

Conclusions:
Frankly speaking, there is very little to dislike about TrueCafe, if you run a cyber cafe. For single time licensing, you get plethora of internet usage monitoring and tweaking options in this app. It will also run on PCs with relatively older hardware and OS with ease. The fact that your customers can use their mobile devices and laptops to access internet for scheduled time is a boon for both sides. The only dampener in the app is the lack of payment receiving system and absence of pre defined objectionable website list.

Rating: 4/5
