RIPE NCC
RIPE NCC counts now show a negative number.
Shows count of addresses remaining at 5 registries, that's about it
When I saw a update for this app on the App Store, at first I was excited, but then realized it was only to add iPhone 5 display sizing, as is required of all apps in the App Store these days.
I'm glad they now show the IPv4 addresses remaining at the 5 regional distributors of IPv4 addresses: ARIN and so on. Even though IANA is out, these regional registries still have a few addresses left.
This app does its job, however it doesn't really provide much benefit to the user. As others have said, it would be nice for them to throw in some sysadmin tools such as IPv4 and IPv6 subnet calculators, or whatever else they might deem useful. The IANA page on the app is useless, as it's always 0 these days. The Hurricane Electric page is just a global map showing Hurricane Electric's physical locations, useful only as advertising material to demonstrate Hurricane Electric's very good global connectivity. The user can't interact with this page in any way, though.
The most useful page is the readout of the 5 regional registries, which could be accomplished with a simple webpage. It doesn't need to be an app. Since Apple only allows 11 pages of apps (even on iPad!), I can't justify this app remaining on my device.

Thank
Thanks
interesting app, does what it says
Thanks HE for making this app. Would be nice to add some IPv6 features, maybe some v6 ping and v6 traceroute to give it some utility.
Yep, Does What It Does
Does it well. Relevant. Useful. And fun. Unless you're a UK ISP, of course; in that case, it's your worst nightmare, or it's already taken care of!
