My connection is fine, the app is crap and the creator does not respond to emails nor reddit messages but has time to try and advertise the app. DO NOT PURCHASE. Don’t even put it on your phone. Don’t do it! I would advise against even downloading this app. Downloaded it to test it, it never worked. A couple hours later my western union app and bank was hacked and money attempted to be taken out. Updating my review: got it to work, however I emailed the developer for security concerns in regards to my WU acc being hacked to make sure it was just a coincidence. Once he does answer me I will leave a new review and erase this one. I will also purchase the subscription bc it does seem to work. Just concerned about security. ### 1/5 — Not working currently *2019-07-09* I attempted to use this app. It says it will ask for permissions, but never does. I'm using an iPhone XR trying to get the Nintendo Switch to connect on certain games with a different NAT type. I use AT&T as a provider, so only a couple games work on my phone Hotspot. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disconnects after a certain amount of time *2025-03-28* Do not buy unless you dont mind disconnecting every once in a while. The developer needs to fix this issue if they are going to be charging money for it ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2024-07-16, version 2.23.2* Last 2 times I’ve subscribed to this, my Switch has refused to connect to it, despite trying literally dozens of times across multiple days. Waste of money now 😞 ### 1/5 — This app is a scam :( *2022-10-29* My iPad hotspot did not work, so I had no WiFi While Hurricane Ian. Please delete this app from the store. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work got hacked *2022-05-24, version 2.16.1* Nad this is cumming from the guy eho can’t EVEN SPELL ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-10-22, version 2.12.1* It worked the first time and I’ve never gotten it to work again. ### 1/5 — didn’t work. *2021-10-08* I don’t get the issue but getting this DID change my nat type to A, but it didn’t allow people to visit me or let me visit others with animal crossing. So. This has been really annoying, especially since I paid. ### 1/5 — FRAUD ALERT *2021-04-09* Do not download this app, money was taken out my bank account. Idk how they did it but you should not use this app. ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-03-05, version 2.6.3* This app is a scam, doesn’t let you do it. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2020-10-23* I mean it worked but why a 10 minute free trail ### 1/5 — terrible app *2020-05-06* can make ur nat A but always disconnect not even 3min. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fixed all my probs *2024-10-15, version 2.23.2* Good app thank u ### 5/5 — Yep it works *2024-10-06* I’m in the Midwest US playing smash bros and Mario kart 8 just fine now, t mobile internet and hot spot. ### 5/5 — PERFECT!! *2023-08-07* I’ve been having a problem with my NAT for over a year, trying everything to fix it, and this is the only thing that’s worked. I’m so happy!! ### 5/5 — Works well enough and sometimes speeds my internet up too *2022-12-26* Without this app , I don’t think I’d be able to use my hotspot as much as I do , it has its connection flaws but I’m actually able to play and even download games with this app without worrying about connection limits . Not sure if this is intended though but it has saved me so much ### 5/5 — Works for me as of 08/10/2022 *2022-08-11* Seen reviews saying it doesn’t work, but using the included 10 minute free trial, I was able to get my NAT type (which usually shows as D on my hotspot) to show as an A. Played 2 rounds of Splatoon 2 online with no issue. If it doesn’t work for Splatoon 3 next month, I’ll update my review. For those who don’t have access to regular Wi-Fi, this works at least for me. There’s a 10 minute free trial, which I wish I knew about before getting the app. There’s not a lot of info covering this app, so I was glad to be able to try it out before paying anything. ### 5/5 — Simple app, that simply works. *2022-07-16* If it’s not working your using in wrong. Tips: -Open ifixnat then press the play button, follow the prompt directions to edit proxy on your switch,(This will also turn on the VPN in iFixnat) —Turn hotspot off and on on your phone to reset —Connect Switch to hotspot ### 5/5 — Best app ever but some minor fixes *2020-05-05, version 1.9.0* The app is grate i can finallybplay splatoon but sometimes it logsout but everiting is the best thing ever is not that prici if you think about it but totally would recommend and the person ho got “hacked” totally liying but i relly like it no compleins but you need to update it more 👍🏽 ### 3/5 — Please Update App *2021-03-24* Nintendo figured out a way to see my NAT type even with fixing the proxy... It’s a great app and has helped me play a lot with others when I wouldn’t be able to (I have no WiFi where I live) but with the latest switch update it will no longer connect ### 2/5 — Changes from A to F *2022-12-28* Still can’t play Mario kart or splatoon ### 2/5 — Don’t work all the time *2020-05-03, version 1.9.0* Worked when I went to one person island went to go to someone else’s didn’t work have! Not not working at all!! Disappointed that’s I’ve paid for it to work once’s --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
