It's not pretty, but it (sometimes) works. The app comes in two parts. A Windows/Mac client and the iOS app. It works by creating a virtual, software-based Ethernet port to which your computer connects via USB. That's the theory at least — in my testing (with an iPad, not with an iPhone) the Mac app wouldn't stay up for long enough to actually use the web. It does actually connect — after launch the app opens the Tether site in your browser — but crashes as soon as I try to navigate elsewhere.
The problem appears to be an exception with the Mac app's kernel extension, although the iPad end seems to work just fine.
