Dig

Weird it only provided A and NS records. No option to select others. Is it just running dig ANY?

No DNS command line option supported

Would have been a great tool if this app supported dig command-line options like ‘+dnssec’.

Cannot say ‘five stars’ yet, but it will do ‘+trace’ (and mistakenly send +trace along with the DNS query and produce a trace output; that is all.)

Works really well

This app helped me to solve some DNS issues I had in my network.
I really recommend it

No results shown

Used to work but hasn’t for a bit now even after uninstalling/reinstalling. No timeout, no error, just no result.

Confirmed. This does not work in iPadOS 14

As described in the other comment - type in a domain or IP address and ... nothing happens?

Why is this still in the App Store?
