This app used to work fine until I updated my phone a few weeks ago. Now it will not turn the phone's hot spot on. It says "hotspot activated" and the widget turns blue for a second, then it turns off all the

Used to love this HotSpot Widget that resided on my front page and prevented me from having to dig deep into settings to turn on and off my HotSpot. It became unstable after the latest KitKat update. It would connect then quickly disconnect. Thought it was the update itself that was causing HotSpot problems, that is, until I just went deep into settings and turned it on manually.

It turns Hotspot on fine but doesn't toggle off. I've tried tapping, double tapping, nothing happens. Doesn't restore wifi even though I have that option selected. What am I doing wrong? Motorola Droid Maxx.

With the label turned off its just an icon that toggles the hotspot. No more, no less. Works fine for me on a ZTE-87 (Australian Telstra Dave) running 4.1.2

I would have given it five stars, except that it no longer works on my phone. It saved several steps to enable and disable the hotspot. I've found an alternative app.

Does not work on galaxy s5. Just flashes and says checking for subscription then fails. hotspot works fine on my phone though. Will rate it again if they fix this issue

Won't work after veri*on update on note 3. Pressing home button trick doesn't work either. Check out x...d...a website for how to get it to work.

Great app but the icon and text shows up a little larger than all the other icons on my Samsung Galaxy S4. Wish they would fix that, looks a little tacky. But as far as functionality goes, it works great.

Doesn't work on my Samsung note 2 anymore. Since update to 4.4.2 it will not connect. Use to love it until is stopped working. Thx

I've been using this for nearly 3 years, on a multitude of devices; and I've only encountered one failure: on a ZTE Z959 Grand X Max running 5.1.1. With numerous successes and a single failure, I'm willing to mark this one among the other problems I've had with this Chinese POS. -Five stars all the way.

You can turn the label off. You tap the widget and it does what its supposed to. Saves a ton of time and hassle.

Loved this app and was easy to use but like so many of my other apps it no longer works with all the wonderful new KitKat improvements. Please fix this and ill give it 5 stars again!

N70%
by N####:

Does exactly what I was expecting, the only thing that I wish I could change is the color of the actual widget not just the text.

G70%
by G####:

Each time I've hit the widget, it'll show the blue dot as if the hot spot is active but every time I still have to go into my settings and turn on the hot spot from there. I'm now uninstalling.

Thank you soo much i love this out of all other wifi hotspot apps because i've tried others and they dont work at all until i installed this app and this just amazing!! Thank you!!! :)

Nice and simple but has a good method of visually indicating the states of the operation. Has some unexpected config options which are nice to have as well. Especially useful is that it will turn your Wi-Fi back on when turning the hotspot off if you wish. Seems reliable and is small and simple. Does what it promises, works well for me

Finally I find a widget that turns wi-fi back on after leaving the hotspot. I wanted an easy way for my wife to use her tablet from her phone's hotspot feature, but searching the app store took hours before finding a toggle that would return her phone's wi-fi state without having to go and turn it back on when she was done using the hotspot. It's so useful that I installed it on my phone too for using my tablet. *[Note: My phone uses Android 5.0 Lollipop which breaks widget so I dropped a star until fixed]

It seems like a great app, but unfortunately it does not support my Samsung Galaxy S3 (KitKat operating system). If you could please possibly find a loophole around this problem, I would be greatly appreciated. For now I'll give it 2 Stars.

I've used this for ages, but after upgrading to lollipop the other night it no longer works. It looks like it tries but never gets there. Looking forward to an update.

It doesn't seem to work with Lollipop, but it was an essential widget before the upgrade. Recommended if you aren't on Android 5.

This great app really simplifies things, and more. Clean, configurable and tiny. And as bonus, Hotspot in airplane mode is possible!

It's just what I need, but doesn't work for me on my OnePlus One running Android version 5.0.2

But its no longer working in Android 5 Lollipop. Old review: Works great on Nexus 5. Does exactly what it is supposed to. Nice customisation features for appearance. And well designed at under 100 KB. Only flaw is as previously commented: icon label does not line up. @Jessica and others - it's not an app. Look for it among your widgets.

Does nothing. Also, when I went back to uninstall, it had a full screen of the program icons overlayed against Google Play, no idea what that was, but I had to reboot. Samsung S5.

Used to be a great app, just turn hot spot on/off with one tap. One thing spoiled it all - after update to Android5 it stopped working completely. Hoping for a fix.

(No longer works galaxy s5) After four downloads of various widgets finally found one that turns on and off the hotspot and not the tethering via Bluetooth etc. And remember it's a widget not an app you have to have hotspot capability already.

I like the visual design, and the custom options were a surprise, but after the first click, the widget didn't work. New Galaxy s4.

Not only works perfectly on my Sprint G3 but has super customizable features. Out of hundreds of Android Apps I have probably given out maybe 6-7 five start ratings and this app gets 5 stars.

by K####:

Works great until Android 5.0 Lollipop, but Lollipop has its own shortcut to toggle WiFi hotspot. Pull down the notification shade twice, and there's a button to toggle Wifi hotspot there.

One tap to turn on hotspot, to again to turn off and reinstate WiFi. Perfect!

I've only had use this for about 10 or 20 minutes but from what I've used it works very well, especially for a free app. So try it out you may like it too! :)
