Get Them While You Can: Two Tethering Apps Uncovered And Still Available
January 2, 2013
For users looking for a tethering option that doesn’t require a monthly fee or jailbreak, you’re in luck. The site iFans has uncovered two apps that Apple approved and placed in the App Store. The apps are BSOD Reaction Time and *Rock Paper Scissors*. This follows Apple's pulling of the tethering app Flash Army Knife in late December.
Our advice: If you’re looking for a free tethering option, get either of these apps fast as each will likely be pulled from the App Store very soon.
You may download each app by using the link and following the directions.
