If you don't have root it won't work if you are too retarded to get root its not this apps fault - rating one star and demanding "how to get root" makes you a total retard. The app works if you aren't a retard and does exactly what it says on the tin. - do wish it would let me install a list off the web - easylist for example.

I feel sorry for the developer getting terrible reviews by noobs who don't know anything about networking. I'm a developer and I use this app to preview my web apps on my phone. Keep up the good work.

Y70%

I used a coc server and it now doesn't let me go on. Tell me how to go back to NY old server because even though I erased the app the new broken server stayed. Help me and I'll give 5 stars.

This app can/does NOT hack Clash of Clans! If you put a specific IP address in a hosts file, it blocks the incoming connection from the specified IP (from everything I know, a lot). The reason you need root (also called superuser) is because the Hosts file is a SYSTEM file, so only root can modify it (sorta like when you open/run something, i.e. CMD as administrator on Windows). And to the people who are rooted but still have problems, make sure you have Busybox and SuperSU installed.

I rooted the phone, made sure hosts permission was write enabled and tried editing hosts using ES Note Editor. That didnt work. I tried another text editor app which also allows superuser editing, and that didnt work either. Both popular editors gave me errors while saving changes to hosts. I downloaded this app and it works like a charm!

Great app! Ignore those 1-star ratings because they are those CoC noobs who doesn't know where they are talking about. Modifying a hosts file doesn't allow you to connect to a certain host and IP, but it blocks the connection to that host and IP. And you need ROOT for this. If you don't know what root is, just don't do anything that needs root.

I use it for work, adding entries for hosts on the LAN. It's too bad that people are giving this 1 star just because they are can't figure out how to hack clash of clans. That's not the dev's responsibility at all.

This app is truly awesome ignore the CoC players they give it one star from them being stupid not knowing anything about this app. It's truly a great app!

by N####:

Updated review: after getting a phone with Android nougat this app is no longer able to modify hosts entries. Old review: Works 100% as advertised and deserves a much higher rating. Some people are rating low because they don't know how to root their phone. That's not the apps fault. If you don't know what root is then you probably shouldn't have root access anyway.

Recently I have been unable to remove certain servers. When I press delete and restart hosts editor the deleted server re-appears and it won't let me connect to the original server. Any advice on this issue would be very grateful. Thanks

Hey guys I am shubham. Please help me out in this in ip address I have written my own ip address and in host name what to write I want to hack clash of clans sooo in host name qha t to write. App developer pleaasee help me

T70%
by T####:

This app does exactly what it should and says: it makes changes to your system hosts file, which on any Linux system requires root access. Every negative rating for this app is ridiculous. Learn how to root your device; that is not the responsibility of the app developer. A hosts file maps an IP address to a host name. If you don't know what that means, this app is not for you.

T70%
by T####:

This app has nothing to do with any game, it changes the routing of host names only, you need to know exactly what you are doing, and your phone needs to be rooted first. I have flashed the 'Mother of all add blocking' hosts file, which is too big for most text editors on Android to handle. But this app works fine, even search is fast.
