## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Confirmed. This does not work in iPadOS 14

*2021-08-02*

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

Why is this still in the App Store?

### 1/5 — Only google.de ...

*2020-05-26*

... every other domain is not responding

### 1/5 — No longer functional?

*2019-02-21*

Just tried this on iOS 12.1.4 on an iPhone 8. No query I tried ever came back with any data at all, no timeout, no errors, nothing.

### 2/5 — No results shown

*2023-03-19*

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

### 2/5 — It is hard to use with iPad.

*2019-06-15*

Depending on the screen may or may not rotate.
It is very inconvenient.

### 2/5 — One bug, one flaw

*2018-01-03*

Bug:
Despite the screen shot on the App Store, the app does not rotate to landscape view on my 10.5” iPad Pro.

Flaw:
The ability to compare different dns queries is extremely valuable (accomplished by scrolling in Terminal.app on Mac OS). This app, and many like it, refresh the screen between queries making comparisons impossible (unless you commit the entire screen contents to memory between queries). 

The app functions, thus two stars as a minimum but it could be so much better.

**Developer response:** 1) As of now only result view rotates to landscape. The main UI is not rotating yet, but the updated UI is planned already.

2) Added a note to to do list to add an option to not overwrite old results.

Thank you :)

### 3/5 — Dig

*2024-06-09*

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

### 3/5 — No DNS command line option supported

*2023-07-17*

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.)

### 3/5 — Needs iPhone X+ update

*2020-05-11*

Output is obscured by the notch on recent iPhones. Also a more mobile-friendly way of entering query syntax would be welcomed

### 4/5 — Works well, but becomes unresponsive when...

*2021-04-02*

The app works well, but hangs and none of the buttons work when I clear all the query results. Only way to get back to using again is to uninstall than reinstall.

## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Works really well

*2023-05-30*

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

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2021-06-19*

Love that you can pass in normal dig arguments

### 5/5 — linux DIG command , exactly what i was looking for!

*2018-08-12*

this app is essentially perfect for what it does, gives you FULL access/use of the linux dig command for dns , on your iPhone.

 Thanks developer (his other network related apps are excellent too i use them as well)
