What's New in DNS Inspector

1.4.3

May 22, 2026

Thanks for using DNS Inspector! • Added a Polish translation thanks to a generous contribution from a user. DNS Inspector accepts community translations for any language, if you're interested in helping out check out our Github page and open an issue - we'll be happy to explain the process. • The app will now automatically switch to an available language (if we have a translation for it) based on your device's language. This can be turned off and a specific language used. • Fixed an issue where even after selecting a different language, the app would still be in English.

Ideal app for power users

Excellent app for DNS queries on iOS/iPad. Some people rated this 3-stars. I guess they don’t know what it’s for! What a joke!

Great tool

Works great. Please make it easier to do reverse lookups, nobody wants to translate an ip to in-arpa notation to do a reverse lookup :)

Every single thing you could ever need for your DNS thirst!

I am SO happy THIS developer made this tool! I’ve been using their other app for SSL/TLS inspection for years. This does not disappoint.

Cmon fellow geeks let’s admit the hassle of not having an easy environment for a simple nslookup; or any digging for that matter. We kinda have to resort to a browser for a web service to do it, or like this there’s some apps too. I used to use an app here on the store (still available) for nslookup; it was great till I looked at my network traffic (shady yet fun MiTM apps are dissapearing I’m afraid); the app was siphoning user data from me worse than a rogue state. That left a void- where do I do my digging now?! I had to resort to annoying ways.

If you are a seasoned DNS detective this is for you. You can edit your lookup servers, send only over TCP, all the usual. The interface is clean and matches this century! And the results? Laid out perfect; query, response, server answers, TTL, and at the very bottom I’m guessing any issues found? Still gotta mess with it. In any event, this is 👌🏻
