Was also interesting to see all the different services running on my network. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2019-11-15* 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. **Developer response:** I added a search field. Sorry it took so long :) ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful - thanks *2017-09-07, version 2.1.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2011-05-23, version 20090724* Works perfectly & nice to find a literary reference in this world of tech. ### 5/5 — Works just great *2011-03-05, version 20090724* Fast, easy to use and does exactly what it's supposed to. If you think this app doesn't work you're not using it right or don't have any services visible on your network. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2010-10-20* Good, simple, functionality at an awesome price. Useful for network admins and systems auditing. ### 5/5 — Works without restart *2010-03-14* Worked for me immediately, without restarting my phone or engaging in any other kinds of voodoo. Simple app, tastefully executed. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2010-01-25, version 0* Does exactly what it says on the tin. If you are having issues, it is to do with your network set up. I'm using it at uni and it loads instantly and shows all people connected to the wireless network (25+), even if they are across campus on a different access point. If there is nobody to be found, it will sit and appear to hang, but is still functional. Well worth getting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fix *2019-10-09, version 2.4.0* This app is not working ### 1/5 — Not Updated Since 2009 *2016-06-27* Crashes on load running iOS 9.3.2 on a 6S+. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 9 *2016-01-12* Was great until iOS 9 shipped. Now it crashes at launch. Bummer! ### 1/5 — Crap *2009-12-29, version 0* This is one of the worst apps I got it dosnt do anything so it's pointless it takes ages to start up. ### 2/5 — It used to work *2015-11-09* Flame was wonderful. Until ios9. Now it won't run. Bummer. ### 3/5 — Great idea ... *2010-06-16, version 0* Just make it work .... It's crashing all the time P.s Would love to see it in iPad ! ### 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 — FAN TAS TIC *2026-05-29* Seriously! It does one thing really, really well and nothing more! I would have paid for this app. ### 5/5 — It works! *2023-12-12* Does what it says, consistently and without error. Awesome tool! Thanks!!!! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Quick and easy to use *2021-11-13* 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. ### 5/5 — It works *2021-10-18, version 2.6.1* It works on my iPad Pro --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
