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. ### 3/5 — Tech Support Not Responding *2026-08-21, version 12.13.2* 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! ### 2/5 — Name of phone *2026-08-18, version 12.13.2* I want to be seeing the name of the phone connected to my wifi ### 2/5 — Not happy with last update *2026-07-18, version 12.13.1* My fingbox now constantly reports unidentifiable unconfirmed devices. The list of devices exceeds 1000 and continues to grow. It never used to do this. ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-07-11, version 12.13.1* Results only Show a device ip…. Not a name or exactly what device- so you don’t know if it’s a ring or a Roku… ### 2/5 — Générique *2026-07-03, version 12.13.0* Générique générique que du générique. Pas d’identification pour la majorité des appareils connectés. ### 4/5 — Get outta my phone *2026-06-29, version 12.13.0* I like the app because it shows me that I’m hacked . It doesn’t show you how it happened and it does not stop it from happening . The most I’ve been able to do is to boot the interlopers but that is only temporary. It give info about those devices but not any info that I know how to utilize to get them outta of my phone or put in jail. That I guess can’t be accomplished because I’ve yet to accomplish that go no matters the app or phone. ### 4/5 — You let the hacker get *2026-06-29, version 12.13.0* Don’t think is works for me. Good for a few hours. ### 1/5 — Inútil *2026-06-21* Ofereceram 7 dias grátis e me cobraram. Pra ajudar o aplicativo não funciona, dispositivos genéricos não são identificáveis, apenas os com nome. Aí não precisa de aplicativo, é só ler. ### 1/5 — I’m confused *2026-06-08, version 12.12.0* When I do a speed check on a gig plan that I have it shows me a 5.9 and 4.1 mbps when two other apps show me in the 400’s or higher. Not sure why only this app says this? I’ve used this app in the past but never seen this happen. Update: Why can’t it pick up my WiFi security cameras? I have two of them and to be honest it has never picked up any camera unless I say it’s a camera in the description. I want a refund!!!! ### 1/5 — Useless for camera scanning *2026-06-07, version 12.12.0* I have Paid for the subscription to Enable camera scanning. App has happily notified me, it did not find any cameras on my network. Well... How will it detect hidden devices if it doesn't find the 5 Ring cameras online using the network? ### 2/5 — Used to be simple and fast. *2026-06-07, version 12.12.0* Now it’s bloated and full of monthly expenses. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It was good in the past but ruined recently *2026-08-19, version 12.13.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Delete it *2026-08-19, version 12.13.2* Had to delete. Wanted to create an account, but app wouldn’t let me. Kept telling me something went wrong, but not telling what I did wrong. Can’t have something that doesn’t work, let alone pay for the upgrade. ### 1/5 — Used to be useful *2026-08-16, version 12.13.2* Alas corporate greed or maybe individual greed has caught up to this once excellent app, no more MAC addresses unless you pay, they claim 3 scans per day unless you pay, the reality is one scan and then endless nagging for money I will be uninstalling this shameless cash grab. ### 1/5 — Scam/pay to use *2026-08-13, version 12.13.2* It does show who/what is connected to your Wi-Fi but you can only REFRESH 3 times then you have to PAY for more plus some of the simple features like removing someone and on top of that it won’t let you register at all with an account for them making it seem all that more sketchy👎 ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money !!! Testing fing finds but miss identified every camera *2026-08-10, version 12.13.2* I have many devices and cameras , over 50 I own. It identifies nothing correctly. Every network every single camera working well . It identified zero cameras of 20+ that are on and transmitting perfectly. 5 different brands 9 networks 4 dedicated 2.4Ghz for cameras and appliances and mesh extender it did not identify any issues. I even added multiple hidden cameras and infrared cameras and sensors. Nothing . Total waste ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-22, version 12.13.1* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Cadastro impossível *2026-07-21* Não consigo cadastrar, e toda função exige que eu faça um cadastro ### 1/5 — Complete commercial app *2026-07-18* Always asks for subscription even for basic things ### 1/5 — Such a horrible network tool *2026-07-15, version 12.13.1* Built on scams and trying to steal your data. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! ### 1/5 — Not helpful at all! *2026-07-11, version 12.13.1* Too many “generic” and no way to find out what they are. Deleted app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Saved me. *2026-08-19, version 12.13.2* One night, 2am I downloaded fing with a strong gut feeling someone was watching me through my cameras. I Noticed a 4th user with a glitched blank name knowing I live with 3 people not 4. Changed my password immediately and still get chills down my spine till this day. ### 5/5 — افضل برنامج *2026-08-13, version 12.13.2* رائع ### 5/5 — Great Network Monitor *2026-08-12, version 12.13.2* Monthly report on all outages, downtime and down/up bandwidth. Fantastic! ### 5/5 — Ty *2026-08-03, version 12.13.2* So much ### 5/5 — K *2026-08-03, version 12.13.2* K ### 5/5 — Jjunior *2026-07-19* Boa ### 5/5 — Ótimo! *2026-07-17* Me ajudou a descobrir o endereço IP de um equipamento na minha rede Wi-Fi, que eu precisava acessar para configurar. ### 5/5 — Good surprise today *2026-06-25, version 12.13.0* I like Fing. The app performed immediately after I downloaded it. I actually had a pirate hitting my WiFi, so between Fing and a little self education I think that problem is solved. Today I opened the news email they send. It is interesting and well written. I won’t discard this one. When the coffee is finished brewing I am going to read most or all of it. This was just one of the best surprises in my day today. Me, the “I hate tech” attitude old person, is brewing coffee to read a tech newsletter. Fing should get an award for this. Thanks, Fing! ### 5/5 — Owner *2026-05-28, version 12.12.0* Really cool program! ### 5/5 — Excelente Herramienta para IT y Usuarios avanzados *2026-05-20, version 12.12.0* Perfecto para identificar equipos en la red y algunas funciones de administración de red --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
