Force close by anonym It force closes every time I try to start wifi tethering, just wanted to test it out and see if it gives unlimited tethering, unfortunately can't use it, phone is rooted so should work. Uninstalling otherwise 1/5
Awesome all by anonym Root first, all other progs failed. This worked Grade AAA #stopped working for some unkown reason 5/5
Crashes on Galaxy Devices by anonym Rooted S3, and this app will not initialize a tether. From the reviews, it seems to be a recurring issue on new Samsung mobiles. Uninstalled and back to Foxfi. 1/5
No button to turn it on. by anonym Set it all up and then nothing. The access point wasn't listed anywhere and there was no button in the app to turn it on. Bogus app, full of weird ads, don't waste your time. 1/5
Not working by anonym Use to work, but no longer works. It just crashes. 1/5

Crashed all the time, never able to get a chance to see if it would even work. Droid RAZR maxx by anonym Instant crash. Could get into settings but if I tried to turn on it would crash every time. 1/5
Finally Working Tether On DX by anonym Well, other methods have worked for me, but none consistently. This worked without any special configuration, it is fast, and continues to work on my rooted Droid X running Liquid ICS 2.0 tethering Cricket's 3g. 5/5
DOES NOT RUN ON 4.4 KITKAT by anonym May want to mention that somewhere a bit more obvious so people like myself don't spend an hour trying to get it to work! If/when I get this working, be it by downgrading or if there's ever a fix, then I'll rate it based on normal circumstances. Until then... 2/5
Disappointed by anonym Heard many good things about this app but now that ive tried it. Cant say that i liked it. It works for be but when i try to password protect my wifi. It crashes. 1/5

Garbage by anonym 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. 1/5

First it confusing to setting, but it works G8 "topmarkotop" i use between my galfit to dell insp. And the connection is ok but it look great for downloading with idm.. joss tenan pokoke!!! For awhile 3 stars ok. 3/5
Serious privacy issue by anonym Each time the app is opened, it sends a message back to the owners website with my imei number, location and install date. Please explain why you require my location and my imei. And also why I can't disable that being sent. 1/5
Use to be good, don't know what happened?? by anonym I've used this app for years (like 2) and all of a sudden it crashes constantly. I am rooted and I have reinstalled the app many times. I am giving 3 stars because I know it is a good app, just something must be up right now. UPDATE**** It has been a few months and NOTHING has been done. The app still crashes and is useless. Therefore 1 star is what this app deserves. I am very disappointed... this used to be an amazing app, I wonder what happened? 1/5
Pure Excellence Materialized by anonym Ive tried about 20 wifi and tethering apps paid and free. None worked EXCEPT open garden. Thank you! Didn't have to install a server on my desktop or add ons. No third party ads no carrier interruption. Superb workmanship on this app. Cricket Kyocera hydro c5171 ice cream sand which 4.0.4 dell inspiron 5/5
Doesn't work on sprint s6 edge by anonym 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 1/5
Woop Woop by anonym Works like a dream. Now I can have Internet wherever I'm at, no need to hunt for a hotspot. Just RTFM really well on how to root your phone. Not a complaint at all. OS is LXLE 12.04.3. SSID shows up in NetworkManager. 5/5
Sofar by anonym So far, so good. Love the comment... "wheres the button to turn it on, couldn't find the button"... i dont think the "button" as u put it, could be any bigger. Maybe u want it full screen on a 10" tablet? Could u see the "button" then? Maybe super glue a shirt button to the centre of your screen, about 2/3rds of the way down.."viola..theres ya button" 4/5
Terrible by anonym Ever time I start to tether the app force closes. can I just get a simple wifi tether app without any stupid bullshit. I'm really annoyed if you can't tell !! 1/5
by anonym 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. 4/5
PS3 w/ Thunderbolt issues by anonym SO SAD! Used to work for my PS3...it dectects my tether but times out when connecting to ip address. Same goes with other tether apps. Also used different roms but still no luck. Anyone know a fix??? Rooted Htc Thunderbolt running Das Bamf SoaB 1.4 5/5
App is crap by anonym 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 1/5
Very disappointing!! by anonym 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. 1/5
