About Klink - Tether
Klink is a utility by Faveset LLC for connecting a PC or Mac to your Android device over USB. It focuses on simplicity and gets the job done with a few taps. Yet, it is one of the fastest of its kind. Power users also won't feel left out, as it has many mobile-specific settings that don't exist anywhere else.
Installation is simple like with EasyTether or PdaNet, and the in-app setup guide walks you through everything in less than 10 minutes.
The original version has over 20,000 paid users and an average Market rating above 4.3, so everything is well-tested, but please don't hesitate to email and ask questions!
NOTE: Please try the free demo version ("Klink - Tether Demo" on the market) to test compatibility before buying. Klink should work with every device out there, so don't hesitate to contact support if you need help. The demo can be upgraded via the market without any further configuration on your computer.
FEATURES:
- Supports Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/32-bit/64-bit), Mac OS X 10.5 (or later), and Ubuntu Linux (32-bit/64-bit).
* Ubuntu binaries can be used with other Linux distributions (also tested with Fedora and Arch).
- This is only for USB connections to a PC or Mac. Tablets are not supported!
- Does not require a rooted device
- It has a unique Mimic Mobile Device mode that lets you browse mobile pages as the device of your choosing to conserve data. Moreover, this mode can also block common background data activity to avoid excessive data usage.
- Written in C (NOT Java) for efficiency, speed, and lower power consumption.
* Is fast and capable of handling 4g speeds: can reach 30mbps in real-world conditions on capable devices.

I have used only one other tethering app but it was blocked when I purchased a new phone so I couldn't re-install it. It was too bad. it worked flawlessly for two years. I just began to use this app and so far it works as advertised. easy install and setup and NO rooting. It used to work with Linux too but it doesn't any more. Still works well with windows but I really needed it on Linux.

Simply worked. Worth your money if you want something that just works flawlessly. Verizon took away my tethering, so had to search for something that would both work and I can trust. You are my savior!

Cannot believe I paid for this app. I'm lucky if I get 5 minutes of internet access on my PC tethered to my G3 running kitkat, after which I get disconnected from my phone. I then have to end-task the PC application, close the Android app and start again. Then another 1-5 mins of internet access before it stops again. I'm using USB for the tethering, on a data plan that allows tethering, and stock tethering works fine, only slower.

Started using klink when android was first introduced. It worked well back then but has only improved with time. This app is awesome because I have high speed data on my cell that can not be shared with other devices, yet I need it to on my laptop on the go &klink makes that happen! Its my most useful app & I save about $100 a month thanx to klink!

The update broke the app. Connection will not stay on. Moreover I see the company is selling updated app saying it as red edition for another $5. I already paid for the blue ediyion and why i have to pay extra for updates in new bottle??

I have a relatively cheap Huawei H881C with Android 4.0.4. This app has been working great for well over a year. I keep the phone pretty clean with cCleaner. It's CPU is weak, so I don't have a lot of extraneous apps installed. I commonly get transfer rates over 200k/second and I live way out in the country surrounded by farms.

The demo worked good so I purchased this over the competitor - PDANET. That was over three years ago. I recently had a problem with Klink that looks like it was on my end (not Klink). I requested help from the dev and received a prompt reply and very through help to resolve my problem - kudos to the dev! I don't have a lot of probs with apps in general but this has been the best support experience on the Play Store I have had that comes to mind. Kevin - Thanks for your help! You get 5 stars in my ratings.

First off a big Thank You to the developer for a well made working app. After the 5.0.2 android update everyone has had tethering broken. Lucky to find this app, It performs well beyond what I expected, 5 min. to set up and as long as you have an unlimited data plan as I do, you can enjoy USB tethering (without a cap) from you phone to your pc or Mac. This app is well worth buying, best money ever spent on the play store.

"Temporarily unable to verify license! Please try again." I've seen this message before, usually trying again 10 minutes later or clearing app data works. This time it's been over 6 hours that Klink had been down. Did the license servers melt down?

Before i made the reckless impuslive purchase, i expected it to be buggy like the rest (fifox, other tethering apps that didnt work in the past). Upon buying it, i had no idea how to set up but fortunately, the developers had that in mind. Immediately after buying, i had it set up in less than 5mins and it worked perfectly. I was able to watch american horror story season finale without any buffering from start to finish on my mac. Still super surprised.

I was disappointed to find out that my new Motorola 4G phone does not have tethering. This app gives me the opportunity to use my 4G phone to get onto the internet with my laptop. The setup has detailed instructions that help you combine the two. An excellent bargain for only $5

Worth every penny. The install instructions, and support are very detailed. No root needed. Takes a little leg work, and some tinkering to figure out, but still so easy a caveman could do it.

This app was fantastic at first. Then as I kept using it it got worse and worse. I use a LG Optimus F3 for Virgin Mobile with 4G. Please help.

After fiddling all night with rooted and unrooted apps alike, I finally found Klink. It took a little fiddling. Does not activate Tmobile tethering if configured properly and gives me 30mbps down and 11mbps up. I played Elder Scrolls Online without lag and my phone stayed cool the whole time. Way, way, rad. Great job devs!
