Just downloaded it to see if it would, bypass the tether feature that cost 10$ a month, stupid idea btw, because cricket (at&t) blocks it, anyways, I setup my stock hotspot, etc, and clicked on this, and it was enabled, thanks, I can't believe companies, really make people think they control their phone, ha thank God I'm informed. Smartphones government asset's.

Using SGS3 with cm11 and wifi tethering just wouldn't work... but with this app it did! I guess the iptables fix really did it.

Only tether that works on my LG F6 Android 4.1.2 device out of a bunch I tried from app store. Better explanation of how it works would be nice, considering it requires root.

Amazing app. I use it all the time. Only issue I have would be that it leaves wifi on when the app is shut down. I like that it turns on wifi as necessary but if it was off to being with it should leave it off. Consider it 4.5 stars. If this setting is fixed it'd be perfect.

Had so many issues getting my rooted SGS3 (running CM11 m6) to allow me to connect to Internet using the AndroidAP. I could connect to the the phone's WiFi but no internet access was availed, this app resolved this issue like a charm!
