However, many report frequent crashes when enabling the hotspot and note that the app lacks key features like renaming devices, blocking connections, or disconnecting devices. The app hasn't received updates since 2019, resulting in unresolved bugs and limited functionality. While it can identify connected devices better than some alternatives, inconsistent detection on certain phones reduces its reliability for hotspot management. ### Pros - Simple and clean user interface without unnecessary features. - Effectively shows connected device names, IP addresses, and MAC addresses. - Small app size with minimal permissions required. - Useful for identifying devices connected to the hotspot, helping manage access. - Accurate detection of connected devices compared to similar apps. ### Cons - App often crashes or stops working when the hotspot is enabled. - Lacks essential features such as renaming connected devices or blocking them. - No recent updates, leading to unresolved bugs and missing functionality. - Fails to detect connected devices consistently on some devices or Android versions. - Limited usefulness due to inability to disconnect devices or manage hotspot beyond showing connections. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Mobile Hotspot - Portable WIFI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hotspotmanager.wifi.mobilehotspot) — 440,336 users - [WiFi Hotspot - Mobile Hotspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hotspot.share.manage.z) — 1,905 users - [Wifi Hotspot - Mobile Hotspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/co.piontech.wifi.hotspot.wifihotspot) — 5,873,862 users, 3.48 / 5 - [Mobile Hotspot Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.catchy.tools.mobilehotspot.dp) — 443,091 users, 2.81 / 5 - [Personal Hotspot, WiFi Hotspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wifianalyzer.wifi.hotspot.speedtest) — 87,567 users, 3.15 / 5 - [Wifi Hotspot - Mobile Hotspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hotspot.mobilehotspot.wifihotspot.personal) — 4,645 users - [Mobile Hotspot: WiFi Sharing](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.calify.portablewifi) — 144,136 users, 4.49 / 5 - [Wifi Hotspot - Mobile Hotspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hotspot.wifi.personalhotspot.mobilehotspot) — 1,899,120 users, 3.41 / 5 - [WIFI Hotspot - Tethering](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tts.hotspot.wifi.personalhotspot.mobilehotspot) — 3,285 users - [WIFI Tethering Hotspot Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.catchy.tools.wifitethering.vs) — 274,593 users, 3.33 / 5 - [Wifi Hotspot Manager Security](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wifi.unlocker.tools.hotspot.manager) — 965 users - [Mobile Wifi Hotspot](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mnestudio.mobilewifihotspot) — 5,591 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.codedstar.hotspotmanager)
