Just adds to being scared, aaaaand no safety nor communication. But you get to be locked in. To pay for it. Scared, and being charged a subscription. ### 4/5 — I’m impressed *2024-03-23, version 1.1* Right off the bat. My x had been manipulating the outside cameras when he was around so it wouldn’t show anything but a blank screen …so with this app , I was able to let it scan from just where I’m sitting in the house and it said 2 suspicious devices. one was the Internet and the second one was Alexa so I change the password on my Internet and name of it and unplugged Alexa and deleted the Alexa app to reinstall the Alexa app with a different setting. This ,for me, gave me peace of mind that I would know what is around my house & What door is being used to come into my house after five a lock changes and also to know that the Internet can be easily manipulated. If someone has your password.

A Bluetooth scan revealed 8 suspicious devices. This app gives no idea how to find them but the number of devices change every scan even though I’m standing still. Than a wi-fi scan revealed 9 suspicious devices, again offering no clue how to find them. I pointed the app toward my own home security camera and it didn’t detect anything. The blue/red infrared camera offers no information at all as to what you’re seeing. No help menu. No guidance. Glad I only got duped into a one week plan so I can delete this waste of time app and never see it again **Developer response:** Thanks for your words, we will update for a better experience ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-01-26, version 1.1* Bad ### 1/5 — Unbelievable!.!.! *2022-12-29, version 1.1* I came across this app while I was searching for a Wi-Fi scanner. I was intrigued by the possibilities of some kind of device hitchhiking on my network. I was more than disappointed with the application performance. First, the application itself is not very user friendly or responsive. That I can understand and live with. No app is going to be perfect for everyone. Second, the very first thing that comes up when I open the app is the demand for the $44.00 subscription. Seriously? I am not about to subscribe to this service without even knowing if it is going to be a beneficial addition to my life and network. This is like buying a $35,000 car from the local guy at 7-11 without even starting it up and test driving it. I understand that the company wants to monetize the product, but I don’t think anyone should be forced into paying their hard earned money for a untested product. At least show me how this product is going to be a benefit for me and why I can’t live without it. Third, after I bypass the request for money, the app is now going to begin to show me how it can benefit me. It starts with my local network. So, I can assume that the majority of users who use this will have the app installed on a device that is already connected to a network and is authorized to use that network. I begin the process of scanning my network. The screen shows a radar like animation and a number begins to pop and increases. It tells me that it found 23 suspicious devices on the network. I certainly don’t have 23 devices on my network, so I am impressed, but very short term impressed. Next, I am to unplug any devices that I have connected to the network. Easy enough, I have 4 hardwired connections (1- Desktop computer, 2- Wireless Access Point on second floor, 3- Laptop Docking Station, 4- Play Station). I also power down my wireless devices (1- laptop computer, 2- Comcast set-top box, 3-Alexa Dot). I rescan the network, and I get a new result. This time it shows 29 suspicious devices! What in the world?.?.? Since the entire app is non-functional, the only thing I could do is rescan. I try that and I get a notification that this time the network has 19 suspicious devices. Oh brother. Having no other option than to rescan, I pressed the button again. This time, 36 devices were suspected to be suspicious. At this stage, I closed the app. Unable to access the the results, I found this application useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for your support to us, if you have any questions, please email to us. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-01-06, version 1.1* Doesn’t show where the cameras or suspicious devices are. Absolute waste of money ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-12-04, version 1.1* It’s a bunch of pay first bull$hiť ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2024-07-08, version 1.1* I did an AI scan of an actual IR camera mounted on a porch, it said “no suspicious devices found”… the network scan says it found 11 suspicious devices when there are only 2 cameras on it. I guess TVs, computers and and Smart Phones are “suspicious”. The “red light” detector doesn’t detect IR at all either, these IR cameras show up completely black. ### 1/5 — No option. *2024-07-06, version 1.1* This app gives no option to cancel and they always charge you for the next month before the old month subscription is done half way with. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-04-15, version 1.1* Its just a scam please don't use it ### 1/5 — You just can’t detect cam with Wi-Fi scanner *2024-04-07, version 1.1* Just don’t pay for that and google what kind of app you need before purchase so many dumbbells “developers” premium package which is most likely a app source code they purchased but have no features that can make it worth to be paid. Net Analyzer iOS app is free btw. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2024-04-06, version 1.1* Doesn’t do a anything what a let down ### 1/5 — My opinion *2023-12-19, version 1.1* Tells you there are suspicious devices does not give you any type direction as to what or where they are. It’s pointless ### 1/5 — Absolutely worthless *2023-06-29, version 1.1* No instructions at all. A Bluetooth scan revealed 8 suspicious devices. This app gives no idea how to find them but the number of devices change every scan even though I’m standing still.
