Has become useless

Been using Fing for several years. I use it maybe 3 times a year. Used to be able to see all devices on the network but can’t do that anymore. Junk to me.

Does Not Detect Cameras

I did a test on my own system and I have two
Wi-Fi cameras, both outside, connected to the network. Neither one showed up, no other devices showed up either. I have 14 other devices on the same network, and none of them showed up.

What happened to this app?

I’ve had the Fing app on my phone for years. It’s turned into a cluttered subscription filled nightmare. There are so many screens to click through. What happened to the old app?? You fire it up scan a network to watch for a new device to come online. Nobody needs the API to add additional data. STICK TO THE BASICS.

The latest version just returns my iPhone on the network. Kudos team you’ve really taken a great product and added too much and drove this application into the ground. Developers, are you even using your product regularly? You should. It’s boated, give us a basic free version like the old days.

IOS 27.0.1 broke app

Scan only shows iPhone other devices show offline.

Used to be good

As of iOS 27, Finn, no longer reports anything on the network except the iPhone. I’m running it on. I think it’s time to look for something new.

Bit of a con

For something that is billed to be the best on the market, it hides away its usefulness behind quite an expensive pay wall. I would not recommend it.

Used to be useful

Used to be a great tool, now it’s just a cash grab for the developers. Uninstalled after 12+ years of using the app.

The free version is basically unusable for tech support.

Fing is a nice app for looking up stuff on your network.

Fing is a nice app for looking up stuff on your network. I like how I can see details of devices.

Used Daily to scan my network

Like to see what’s working and connecting correctly on my network.

Support?

This app isn’t working on my iPhone 22, and I can’t give feedback as it shows a blank page. Most of what I need to do won’t shrink down enough to see so I wonder if this is a mobile app??

Wrong and missing devices

It keeps missing devices obviously in my network. I can verify them with other apps.

It can only find the device it’s running on and nothing else, not even the router

It works I guess - but many better options out there

What made this app uniquely useful back in the day was the server integration so you could get notified when new devices appeared on your network etc. Now those features have been reproduced on other apps like iNet or IP Scanner Ultra’s realtime push notifications with no subscription needed!

useless app

they’re writing fake 5 star reviews to make people download the app but its no longer trustworthy

Great tool

Useful for analysis of my home network. Does not seem to be able identify most devices, but simply lists them as generic. The speed test is quick and easy to operate. It is a good companion to Ookla.

Tech Support Not Responding

I have reported multiple issues with the Apple Fing App and the Fing Desktop app.

I have received a couple of replies from their tech support which didn’t address the issues I reported. After about 10 replies back to Fing Tech Support, I am no longer receiving anything back from them.

It’s really frustrating and disappointing that you pay an $70 annual fee for this utility but not receiving tech support to help address major technical problems!

It was good in the past but ruined recently

Fing used to work with voiceover on my ipad. no more. I mostly want the device scan. Just recently fing dropped all the latest data and displays an ancient sman from a year ago.. It is worthless to me now.
