### 5/5 — FAN TAS TIC

*2026-05-29*

Seriously! It does one thing really, really well and nothing more! I would have paid for this app.

### 4/5 — Great app to see devices

*2024-06-02*

But I really wish I could change the name of the devices that are connected.

### 4/5 — Flame Services Browser

*2024-01-17*

Very useful, indepensible tool. My only complaint is that it's sluggish and sometimes locks up for a few seconds. the sluggishness is evident on iOS and MacOS. But this could be due to the number of bonjour devices chattering on the network.

either way, thank you for this tool.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2023-12-12*

Does what it says, consistently and without error. Awesome tool! Thanks!!!!

### 5/5 — Practically perfect in every way

*2023-08-30, version 3.1.1*

Bonjour is often furstrating, but this tool makes it far less so, with a clear UI and plenty of detail.

### 5/5 — Useful Tool

*2023-05-23*

Well designed to give helpful details on connecdted devices.  Excellent in combination with Discovery Bonjour Browser!

### 5/5 — Thanks Thomas - excellent utility

*2023-03-05*

Truly, I’m impressed.  This is simple, immediate, and accurate.  This fits the classic Unix definition for a “utility”:  It does one thing, and does it really well.  Thanks for your work!

### 5/5 — Fantastic (even on iOS 16.2)

*2023-02-01, version 3.1.1.*

I saw an old review lamenting that this didn’t work on iOS 9? … and wanted to be clear:  This _is_ an awesome app, and it’s current version works beautifully on iOS 16.2.  Applause!

Interesting difference between the “Discovery” app and this one:  Discovery is very “service-centric”… all of the services are listed.  This one is very “device-centric”… it lists devices, and inside each are the services that device supports.   Both views are valuable… and it’s a pleasure to have both apps.

### 5/5 — Fast !

*2022-12-05, version 3.1.0*

3.1.0 is noticeably faster than previous release.

### 5/5 — Such a useful tool!

*2022-11-08, version 3.0.0*

I find these days, I am using nmap less and less because the hosts I'm looking for are advertising themselves anyway. Using a tool like this helps me quickly find what I'm looking for.

Better handling for very large networks

Cleaned up the UI. Added special-casing for some sonos speakers, which all want to share a single address. Nicer app icons
