I used this all the time on my Samsung Epic 4g and it worked flawlessly. I am now running Jellybean on a Samsung Note2 and cannot get it to work... it gets hung up trying to turn the hotspot on. Too bad. Its a really nice widget.

Does a fine job of turning HotSpot on and off with one single touch. My WiFi did not come back on. Another widget does, so this one will go.

Works great until I upgraded my phone to galaxy nexus 4.0.4. Now it just doesn't do anything. Could you please create a bug fix for this issue.

Using a my touch and the option for me to open this app isn't even available. Should state that it is not compatible with all phones. Will uninstall and look for better options.

Works great on an lg optimus s. I tried rooting my phone and going through all that hassle and failed. This app is way simpler

This app is excelent so I don't have to go through all the settings to turn on my Hotspot... not I can do it with just the touch of a button.. 1st time you must turn it on manually and then it works like a charm

Great app. This is amazing. Stopped working on a replacement Optimus V from Virgin Mobile with Android version 2.2.2. App still continues to work on my other two phones with 2.2.1. I would think that eventually this will stop working on all phones once the carriers put in patches. Anyone know if this works on v3?

This is exactly what I wanted/needed. And to think the support team didn't know about it. I guess I'll need to watch out for any OS updates, but this works for me.

How to 'root' is at androidcentral site. U can find other opts there..revert, or tether. Hope Harold comes out w a fix real soon tho. Great app!

Can't believe how many ppl are too stupid to read. Its a widget, not an app. If provider prevents u from sharing connection that's a different issue.

Working well on Optimus V, still running 2.2.1 Froyo. There is a cap on "unlimited" data usage with VM though. But I run my Kindle Fire off of this for quick browsing and haven't had issues. Also allows me to password protect & it's easy to use.

How are you going to create an app that you only planned to work for a single device? I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which it DOES NOT work for. Cool idea though.

Awesome! Was going to to pay $99 a month for internet, but found this app. Cuts off when making a call though. Other than that, it's a must have!

The only people who give bad reviews are tragically ignorant. Read descriptions and learn more about your device / carrier.

Sprint is lame. I guess they feel they aren't making enough money on everyone and must charge a ridiculous price for this. I will miss this app.
