Heard so many good things about this, I'm rooted. Everytime I try and begin tether it crashes and days it started with errors and force closes. This app is garbage. Please update and fix bugs or I'm uninstalling as I'm sure the rest of us will. Thank you

Everytime I try it it says unfortunately has stopped working. What am I doing wrong. Anyone know where I can get free wifi on sprint. Had foxfi on Verizon but can't find crap that works with sprint

Strange, every time I hit the button that says open garden WiFi tethering, after about 7 sec. It shuts down. Well there's no point in keeping it, it's practically useless so I'll just uninstall it.

Keeps connecting to my home wifi. After removing my home wifi from my phone, received a message asking if my phone is rooted. Phone is fully rooted. Don't waste your time. Would give a negative star if i could.

It worked then never worked again, saying the folders couldn't download and please check show log, but when I do, it says log.file does not exist! Please help, I really need this. (2 star) I will surely change my rating to 5 star!! )UPDATE after many months, nothing has been done just like another reviewer. This is the reason for my 1 star.

Nope, nope, nope -- didn't work & no support. The only thing that worked was an annoying pop-up for donations.

For those of you who say it doesn't work, it really does work you just have to go to settings and go to "Change Device-Profile" set it to auto and then start the tether, and there you have it a perfect working tether, you just have to know how to use it that's all

I absolutely love this app it works everytime. HD2. Update... Samsung galaxy mega force closes it worked on my hd2 but now it doesn't work have to give it one star :(

Y70%
by Y####:

The app does not work. Each time it is installed, the app freezes and shuts down without ever functioning. Phone has been restarted, and app has been reinstalled numerous times. If this is repaired and afforded the opportunity to actually use the app without waiting time, I may change the review. But it may work differently on your phone.

N70%
by N####:

I like the program so far, but it is limited. If you are running Linux Mint 17, it seems to work. There is a problem when trying to encrypt the signal. This causes the program to crash. After it crashes, it is necessary to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Unfortunately, an open connection is a security risk if you are trying to check in on your bank account. With Windows 10, the hotspot shows up but the connection is refused. With android 4.4.2 the hotspot does not show up at all. The interface is simple and easy to use. I was about to send in a donation when I discovered the deficiencies in the program. I will wait until the bugs are fixed. My phone is rooted so I don't know if the program will work without rooting. I hope that development continues. I would like to keep this program.

Too bad, such promise, so much disappointment.

It works 99.9% of the time, the remaining 0.1% happens when I stop the connection and reconnects, it prompts me to install other files that is already installed.
