FoxFi Key (supports PdaNet) for Android
I've had this app for over 5 years. It has worked perfectly and is the best app I have ever purchased
FIX THE GOOGLE PIXEL PLEASE. I CANT LIVE WITH OUT FOXFI
Just like a bunch of other users I have had this app for a couple years now (bc I too have unlimited data through Verizon) and LOVED it. Ive never had an issue til this morning 11-22-2015. I turned off my foxfi app last night (like I normally do) so my phone could charge faster and I went to turn it on today and nothing It just keeps searching for mobile hotspot. Please fix the issue I know many of us users would appreciate it.
I gave 4 stars because the application has helped me a lot. Being in the military I can't really afford a lot but this helps me keep my family connected. As of yesterday we can no longer use and the house might as well not have power. If this is a single day refresh then cool I look forward to It tomorrow. But if not can you guys please look into the issue?
I have been using a for a years now. First on a S-Fascinate. Then a S-Charge and now the SG4. I specifically bought a new galaxy so that I could use this app because I depend on it so much. I have unlimited data. (grand fathered) Paid full $ for an SG4 to avoid upgrade and loosing my unlimited. This App does not work for all phones. Do your research The developers work tirelessly on updates and I appreciate them.
Works 100% as promided. I tried to use the Mobile Hotspot functionality without Foxfi and it doesn't turn on. With Foxfi on my Verizon phone the Hotspot functionality works without a Tether Plan. *For Verizon Users* Please Ignore the notification that tells you that you have been using the Hotspot Functionality without a Plan, as the is the Phone itself telling you that you are using Hotspot without a plan. It looks scary but if you notice the notification uses the device's User Interface.
Works perfectly, I have Verizon model Note 4 with android 6.0.1 and tried several others. Didn't want to root phone just to use my unlimited data plan for hotspot without paying a subscription. Now I don't have to. Fyi: also works using Straight talk Sim and bypasses subscription block. :)
I downloaded this app on trial in order to connect to the Web during an off-site conference. I ended up using it several times before the trial ended. I realized its value and incredible low price were worth the purchase, so I bought it. Since then, it has performed flawlessly, giving me access in places where none is available. Even better, I give my coworkers the password when we are off-site and we can all stay productive. For the past few days since an IT 'upgrade', our office WiFi has been down so, when we are unlocked, we can't connect to the network. Foxfi to the rescue! Hands-down, best app purchase I have ever made, and it doesn't even turn my face into a zombie or pretend to be a mirror,
Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. When I first downloaded FoxFi, it worked workout a hiccup. VZW sent out a SW update that disabled it back in October or November. Tried it again after the latest SW update and it works great!! Love it and it's worth much more than you pay for it. Especially on a plan with unlimited data!!!
LOVE it but it no longer supports wifi since my phone arrived with Android 7.0 instead of 6.0, booooo. It's now mostly useless to me. If they can release an update soon that will override Verizon's newest security update then they'll once again reign supreme. But for now, with no wifi and this being my only wifi hub, this app is pointless and I wouldn't recommend it for people who need wifi and have the 7.0 OS.
Metro pcs no longer carries my GS3 so they switched me to T mobiles network. This switch out an end to my free hotspot capabilities. I paid for the full version and got a few months of a great thing. Too bad it was so short lived. Well worth the small price paid even if it was temporary. I still love you guys. Thanks for the effort. Good luck.
Does not work on droid turbo Verizon blocked with latest update.. Worked fantastic on droid RAZR for years with my unlimited data. Used for ps4. And netflix ...I would be willing to pay for an update. And for the peeps that say doesn't work no refunds you get a trial period with the foxfi app before buying the foxfikey
If installed properly, will use your phone internet via usb tether , I pay for unlimited 4g data and now I can really take advantage of it!!thx Update. Metro pcs...Got a new LG leon and It's still working.. Excellent!! You MUST follow the instructions and if it doesn't work, adjust the pdanet setting on your PC.
Worked great for years. Never had a problem on my casino commando 4g or Samsung s3 Just switched to a LG V20 and it Just stopped working. Super bummed hope you guys can fix and I will be back to 5 stars. You guys have saved me thousands on data. I can't thank you enough. I tell everyone I know ur app it the best available.
This app works like a champ, the only problem is when you update your Android system, Developers will try to fix it but most of Android updates will patch the only way this app has to have access to your internet. This will work if your Android version isn't as new (which is hard now). I have a an extra phone that I keep around for long trips so I can keep my passengers entertained with this app without paying a carrier for a service that should be included with my phone service.
Which is now rooted, but even so, it sometimes works better than some of the free rooted variants out there. IT CHANGES YOUR SWIPE LOCK SCREEN to a Pattern or Pin lock AND CAN'T CHANGE IT BACK EVEN AFTER UNINSTALLING FOXFI. PLEASE FIX THIS. I have multiple security measures in place without the need for a screen lock. Please remove this permission devs.
This app does everything it says it does. Worth paying for full version as this developer deserves our support. Keep it coming with apps like this. There are so many apps in the play store that claim to do things and don't do anything besides give you advertising banners and spam you.. but this app Is 100% legit. I installed it on all my devices and use it regularly as a USB hot spot together with pdanet on my laptop and I get great speeds (T-Mobile LTE network). Works so well I replaced my home internet
I followed foxfi's screen by screen instructions including adding a security security exception and everything works. The app seems to leverage Verizon's hot spot app by proxy in a way that Verizon does not know. I'm on a prepaid plan and get 4G WiFi tethering at full speed. I think the trick is following all the instructions as prompted. I'm using the paid version.
I've had this app installed on my droid x my HTC Rezound my samsung galaxy s3 my galaxy s5 and now on my galaxy s 7. I'm on Verizon and my slow speed is usually about 30 megabytes per second and it types out at about 65 megabytes per second I leave it on 24 hours a day on the weekends it never shuts off it always works and last month believe it or not I use 447. Something gigabytes worth of data. Thank God I'm still grandfathered in with my unlimited data and I don't even have to pay $20 a month.
Worked like a dream, have had it for several months now. Unfortunately as of 11/20/2015 around 10-11am EST the app no longer let's me Hotspot. I've seen reports that the app still works via Bluetooth and direct teether, but not to happy with installing additional software. To my knowledge this is a issue of. VERIZON only. Please fix this Devs
I now have a Samsung S5 Galaxy and have not had a single problem using since day one. I got the S5 for free and I would have returned just to keep using this app. I use 90-300GB of data a month and Foxfi has always worked. I wait to update my phone just to make sure it works first. They do a wonderful job keeping up with OS changes. Have used for over 2 years on Droid 4 and now on the S5 for 5 months without any problems. I got S5 right away and Foxfi worked. It was so worth the one time cheap as hell fee.
Awsome app! Just like everyone else stopped wrking 11/20.......sucks! I would happily pay re-up fee miss my Netflix and HBO GO! not good dvd selection, all 5 of them...lol. plz let us know if wrking on it or if need call cable company? Not crazy like others, like know what's going on and figure out options. Thanks for best app ever when it worked! Hope u guys rock out a quick fix!
Running on Android 4.4.4. Works great, although I haven't updated my phone since December I am worried if I accept the latest software update it will stop my Fox Fi from working. I have the full paid version of FoxFi. I get the best of my unlimited plan with this app. Verizon will charge you an arm and a leg for hotspot with data package. The only thing that I have a concern about is that it monitors your network, not sure what is the purpose of that. Otherwise everything is great.
I just made the very great decision to buy this app. Ive never left a review on anything so that right there should tell you i care a lot about this. I have been living in a house with no wifi for a year now but unlimited phone internet. This app literally allows me to transfer my internet to my computer without letting them know im tethering so they dont slow me down after a certain amount. Love it so much and thank you
I have a Sprint samsung galaxy s3 with their unlimited data plan for my wife and I. With the already exorbitant price of the plan, I could not find the logic of buying a thether for my phone plan, so I am incredibly happy I came across this. Easy set up and easy access. I would recommend this for anyone looking for internet. I use it primarily to play online games on my pc, watch movies, and listen to music. 5 stars and respect for the creators. I have bought the full version, they deserve the support.
I still use this app after three years and never upgraded ANY phone from Verizon past the 4.3 upgrade. As of late when I start it up it freezes the wifi startup to the point I have to completely turn off my phone and reboot. To the Dev. is this going on lately to the personals' who can still operate the app or is this the doing of cellphone providers trying to completely stop you guys and is screwing with the apps features??
I've used foxfi for a couple years now. It's the most legit app to push out an Internet connection with an Un rooted phone. You think $7 is too much? They have saved me thousands of dollars! Please be respectful to these developers they really care!
I have been using a for a years now. First on a S-Fascinate. Then a S-Charge and now the SG4. I specifically bought a new galaxy so that I could use this app because I depend on it so much.

My phones internet provider wouldn't let me use the hotspot WiFi function on my phone. They wanted me to pay extra for it. I just downloaded this app and it works now. I was using the WiFi function but recently it stopped working properly. No worries I used the usb tethering and it's even better and works flawlessly. I clicked on usb tethering and it directed me to a website to download the file I needed for my pc. Perfect. I really am so happy I bought this. This is my favorite app when I'm away from home.
Please work around the new android 4.4 update that keeps us from using it. My husband and I have used this for more then a couple of years and just love the app would love to rate it as a 5!! But with the update we are now at a lost as to what we are going to do since we are on the road a lot working. The tethering won't work since he has and ipad. And we cannot get the bluetooth to work either. :-(
I purchased the full version a few years ago and I have an older unlimited Verizon plan so using it when traveling worked great for connecting my laptop and smart tv for watching movies. I believe Verizon has stopped so I would need to buy additional wifi add on with them. I call for a class action lawsuit!
It worked great before Verizon's upgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2 not is just stops after a few seconds. Verizon is blocking it... 6 weeks later it is working again, only issue is my phone won't charge if i'm using the wifi hot stop... very strange...
I re-downloaded the app using the purchased version i bought last year. When i am trying to activate the hot spot it asks me to set up a lock pin even though I have one, and it continually asks me to "confirm pin". Seriously, I confirmed my pin 15 times and it is not doing anything differently. Galaxy Note III
Why pay for an Internet service provider AND a cell phone? I stream Netflix and download files using my Galaxy 6 on a Unlimited Internet plan with Cricket. Can't use the WiFi hotspot feature because they block it but tethering works great. Best $7 I ever spent.
I have yet to find another tethering app that works at all... so that's why I'm still using this one. Every time I want to use it I have to set up a pass code and set certificates. And you can't use it without putting a pass code on your device... SUPER annoying and really hope they fix it. I use to love this app...

Purchased this app last night worked incredibly great for about three hours straight. I was playing on Xbox live, and streaming videos through Netflix. The next morning nothing. Won't connect at all. Tried turning my phone off, taking it the battery, reconfiguring the network, uninstalling and redownloading the app.. but nothing seems to work. Highly impressed until this morning, guess it's a waste of money. Sprint Galaxy SIII
I haven't exactly figured out how to get it to work wireless, but I am now able to tether my phones 4G speed (I have a Samsung Galaxy S4) to my computer and get access Internet on my computer. The wifi doesn't really work, but I don't care. It is worth the money. If your phone is fast, then the Internet from this app will be just as fast. I recommend using the regular Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, Chrome., etc.
For how long? As soon as I downloaded it and started using it, Sprint sent me a security update 15 minutes later. It's like they know what's happening. Or, maybe it's a coincidence. Either way no matter what happens I love this app and I wish I could rate it with even more stars. You guys are doing an awesome job, keep up the good work. :)

Hopefully they figure Nougat out so I can get a new phone. I don't want to lose my Wi-Fi hotspot or have to switch to a new plan to access it.
