NetShare Back In iTunes App Store [Update: Pulled Again]

Edward Kirk · August 1st, 2008, 02:59 PM

We're not sure why, but as mysteriously as it left last night, Nullriver Inc.'s NetShare is back on the App Store and available for download once again. Strangely, it's only available via this direct link here- NetShare- App Store, and it will not show up in searches. At first glance at it's iTunes page, it does not appear to have any noticeable differences and it still says it's version 1.0, so we don't think they edited it in any way to comply with demands from Apple. Let us know if it works for you in the comments.

Update: Apple has pulled the application again with no explanation why.

If you search in iTunes for "Net Share" (including the quotes and space between the t and S) it will find it.

izmikiar · August 1st, 2008, 04:07 PM #6

I just tried to find it and appears in the AppStore on the iPhone (search). Great!

**No, it's there...** - August 1st, 2008, 04:20 PM #7

Umm, I'm confused. It is there, on the app store. You say that it won't show up if you search, but it does.

I searched for "Null River" and it popped right up.

Hope this helps.

I would like to add that AT&T prohibits tethering your phone to your computer, which is connecting your phone via a cable to your computer to use the phones internet. This is not a tethering app, it shares your internet connection over WiFi. So it should not be against their TOS. They could close your account though if you go over their 5GB limit.

Why pay for something you can do for free????

**It works** - August 1st, 2008, 05:14 PM #10

It works on my iPhone 1stGen.
Speed is ok for me.

I just searched for it in the App store on my phone and it came up, so you can download it directly to your phone without having to go to that link.

Jordan Hoffmann · August 1st, 2008, 06:54 PM #13

Just to add some clarification-At the time Ed wrote the story the Application could not be found in the Application store, however now it can as any of you have realized.

August 1st, 2008, 07:20 PM

this works Great, in Safari and there is a easy work around for ichat so it works over using the proxy settings.

iTunes works as well automatically.

How ever Mail in OS X will not allow you to configure the Proxy port settings.

Does anyone have any ideas on a work around to get mail working with this app.

F.Y.I: Downloaded it at 1250pm (pst) no problem. Also it showed up in app store if you search for it on your iPhone. Don't know about now though.

YES, it works great, At&t are a bunch of snakes. they would have us paying 30$ a month for tethering...

**So does this** - August 1st, 2008, 07:53 PM #16

So does this get us in trouble with AT&T or anything like that?

**Eno Refining** - August 1st, 2008, 10:04 PM #17

I'm actually replying using this app!! it seems to be working for the most part. The only question that I have is..... What does AT&T think about this app and is it approved by them? I don't want to get hit with an outrageous bill. Does anyone have any insight on AT&T's position on this app?
Thanks!!

Just tried to buy it and got a message that it's not available.

imagine engine · August 1st, 2008, 10:49 PM #19

It's not longer available from the App Store. I can see the icon from Nullriver but I can't download it. At one point it looked like it was going to install then it gave me a pop up that the app is no longer available.
