Hello,

I found today an App which I searched a very long time:
Wifi Priority
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-priority/id963277048?mt=8

The description of the App is a litte bit misleading. In fact you can configure on what Wifi you don't wan't to auto connect. This is helpful if you use unsafe Hotspots which are not encrypted. iOS will connect to any known WiFi until you ignore it which is only possible when you are connected to that Wifi (really great job Apple...). This is a problem if you join a popular Hotspot Wifi and forget to ignore it delete it. The next time you will connect to that SIID automatically, even the SIID name is used by a hacker and tries to sniff you. :)

With Wifi Priority will create profiles which allows you not to autoconnect to specific SIIDs. If you want to join them you have to select them manuel, which is a big win in security.

This should be default feature from iOS.
