Ratings and reviews

Hotspot enabled on verizon unlimited data plan, set up all a go, works fine, runs all variety of devices, but there's no toggle or shortcut in samsung s7 for some inexplicable reason. Have to go into settings, etc., which is not convenient. Tried this app but it can't connect/doesn't recognize my credentials so I uninstalled. Don't feel too bad, it's a fate shared with other toggles I've tried so far. Still looking.

So far, so good. I hate when Cricket plays Pick and Choose with the specific phones they allow hotspot access each month. One month your phone is on the list, next only iPhones or expensive phones are allowed. Your phone could have the feature in its settings, but they block you from using it. Sometimes apps allow you usage for free until they catch on to you then a message appears telling you to add it in you account, blah blah blah.

This app has been working well for many years. Recently it has started malfunctioning and acting weird. When I turn the hotspot off, it sometimes turns itself back on immediately. Not through the app but through my device. How I know is because I get a notification message telling me I have just been connected. I have the latest update version. Help needed.
