Review summary

EasyTether Full is praised for its reliable and fast USB tethering on Windows and Android with many users reporting consistent success and great value. However, multiple users highlight significant challenges running it on newer Linux distributions due to outdated drivers and complicated setup, especially lacking USB3 support. Bluetooth tethering is generally slow or non-functional. Some report occasional connection drops requiring restarts. Customer support experience is mixed with instances of unhelpful responses or refund difficulties. Overall, it remains a solid choice for Windows users, with caveats primarily on Linux compatibility.

Pros

Works consistently well for USB tethering on Windows machines.
Provides stable and fast connection speeds compared to other tethering apps.
Supports Linux (Ubuntu) though setup can be complex.
Long-lasting reliable app used by many for several years.
Excellent value for the price with good customer experiences on Windows and Android

Cons

Linux driver support is outdated causing issues on recent Ubuntu versions (20.04+).
Bluetooth tethering option is often slow or doesn't work properly.
Setup and configuration on Linux is complicated and not well documented, lacking USB3 support information.
App can have occasional connectivity drops or need to be restarted to restore speed.
Poor customer support reported by some users, especially regarding refunds and technical issues.

2024-10-11	ge*****	I tried at least 10 other tethering apps, even paid a few bucks for some of them not one worked. Was just about to give up then I found this one and it just works all the time!

2024-07-30	Da*****	"Abandonware" (or worse): This paid app no longer works on Ubuntu 22.04, although it used to work great on =<20.04. There are other paid apps of the same name/developer for sale, so BEWARE of purchase. Don't think that just because the lite version works today that the paid version will work next year.

2024-07-12	B *****	It worked for me for about two years, but it seems to be broken with a recent Android or Windows update.

2024-04-15	Ja*****	Sucks. Will be fast for 10 min, sometimes more. I gave the app all permissions, removed battery optimizations and network restrictions, and it still sucks. Need to close and re open app to get it at normal speed again. Sometimes need to reboot phone completely. I asked for a refund a few days after purchase and they did not give it to me.

2024-02-22	E *****	App does not work on Ubuntu distros 21+. The driver package has a dependency strictly for libssl1 when newer distros use libssl3. A temp fix is to delete version 3 and manually replace it with 1, but this can cause many problems for other system files that have 3 as a dependency, so its not worth risking. Please update the linux drivers.

2023-12-13	Sc*****	Works as advertised! I used a standard USB charging cable with my Windows laptop, and it works like a charm! I get the exact same network speed as I get directly on my phone. I also tried Bluetooth tethering, which also worked, but was much slower; I'm happy to stick with a wired connection. It's also nice to see Linux support as well, though I haven't tried that yet. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this app; absolutely worth the $10 in my case.
