GRYPHONENT  Good when it’s working. However, that comes with a big “If.” Launch2Net constantly ”forgets” the pairing with my Bluetooth phone requiring me to delete the setting from the network pane and the Bluetooth pane in the System Preferences and then reestablishing both the network setting and the pairing. Annoying and time-consuming. I reckon the reason for the problem is that Launch2Net does not play game with other Bluetooth applications such as BluePhoneElite2 and SallingClicker... and the developer seems unwilling to do anything about it.

FUELLEMANN  Hi,

it is more a glitch in Mac OS X as we need to use ports other bluetooth apps do not use. Anyway, we want to find a workaround, but that is not as easy as it sounds :-(

Thanks,

RICLIP  Im using launch to net with Macbook and MotoRazr v3xx. This software beautifully complements my Mac. Simple - install - pair - open - works!

I was almost shocked at how simply ad reliably it worked - Congratulations NovaMedia! Worth every cent I paid for it.

Software developers should take notes! Software should work FOR the user, not the other way around.....

TV-EYE  A very easy to use software and a competent and nice technical support. I had problems with my software moving it from one computer to another (logic board went kaputt on my MBP). I got really good help and now it works great again.

BOSTJAN  So easy to use that I forgot that I even have it. It became an essential tool for me.. no more paying for expensive hotel internet just to quickly read my Email.

Their technical support is also one of the best I ever had contact with. I needed support two times and on both occasions they replied to my Email within minutes - unbelievable.

JDIAZ  I work half of year in some places in nothern Africa where launch2net is the only way to have an access to my email and the internet. It works fine.

After-sales service is amazingly fast and helpful.

It a must-have for any mac-globetrotter

AKROBAT  Can't say I'm impressed.

First it took multiple times before the app recognised my Huawei 220 USB modem. Kept stating that no device was found, which made no sense since Launch2Net actually launched every time I connected the modem.

Eventually it worked. Indeed it is fully automatic, though whether it has those settings or simply took them from my network settings I'll never know.

2 points: firstly the menubar item does not appear, even though I ticked the option, restarted, cleared other items from my menubar etc. This was a big 'no' for me.

Furthermore the uninstall option I used twice simply leaves all the files intact. I had to remove them with AppZapper.

For now I'll stick with Cheetah Watch which works, is free and does what is says. Will keep an eye on this though... perhaps in a year or so it will mature.

FUELLEMANN  Hello,

it would have been nice to contact the support first to solve the issues you raised here. With some SIM cards, the modem you use takes longer to log into the network, so your modem might not be recognized immediately. All you need to do is to disable the automatic launch and wait till the modem has found the network, then run launch2net.

For the menu icon and uninstaller: This might be a disk permision conflict. Since it runs on thousands of computers I bet you could solve this on yours. Just detach the modem, start your Mac from the System CD/DVD and run disk utility, then choose "Repair permissions". Then install launch2net again, wait till the Mac has restarted, attach the modem and when it has a signal, run launch2net.
