Flame Services Browser User Reviews

FAN TAS TIC

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

Great app to see devices

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

Flame Services Browser

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.

It works!

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

Practically perfect in every way

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

Useful Tool

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

Thanks Thomas - excellent utility

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!

Fantastic (even on iOS 16.2)

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.

Fast !

3.1.0 is noticeably faster than previous release.

Such a useful tool!

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.

Quick and easy to use

Works really well, small download, and no ads. Compared to Discovery which is the other popular Bonjour browser, Flame is more device focused. Meaning you have a list of hosts and then click on a host to see what services it has. Discovery is service oriented so if you want to know all the hosts that are advertising printers. Both methods are useful. The big plus Flame has is you can click on urls to immediately open it in browser.

It works

It works on my iPad Pro

Excellent!

This made debugging and testing my zeroconf implementation in capacitor on iOS much easier. Was also interesting to see all the different services running on my network.

Great tool

Fantastic way to see hosts & services offered on a network, clean layout makes it easy to find what you’re looking for. Easy to export/share if you need more power.

Would be nice to more easily browse on services, either a view by service or filter to hosts offering specific services would be great.

Response from developer

I added a search field. Sorry it took so long :)

Fix

This app is not working

Incredibly useful - thanks

Incredibly useful app. Thanks to the developer for making and supporting this, it is a great app when developing and working with devices that advertise mDNS and Bonjour.

Not Updated Since 2009

Crashes on load running iOS 9.3.2 on a 6S+.

Not compatible with iOS 9

Was great until iOS 9 shipped. Now it crashes at launch. Bummer!

It used to work

Flame was wonderful. Until ios9. Now it won't run. Bummer.

Perfect

Works perfectly & nice to find a literary reference in this world of tech.
