### 4/5 — Wifi Only

*2018-01-03, version 3.6*

I tried an ethernet to lightning converter and the app won't view it for some reason. Seems like the most common use case since most BACnet networks are wired.

Please add this feature! It would make the app very useful!

### 4/5 — iBACnet

*2015-12-06, version 3.5*

Finally able to discover JCI N30! The trick is to enter manually including the device #.

### 1/5 — No MSTP support

*2015-08-09, version 3.4*

I was very disappointed with this tool. I consider myself to be a pretty knowledgable BACNET technician. However, I could not get this to see any of the BACNET devices on the network. I used a known good network and tried various configurations. I don't take pleasure in writing a bad review, but maybe it will motivate someone to develop a functional app that supports MSTP and IP with an iPad or iPhone through wireless ip or rs485.

### 2/5 — Would not discover JCI device.

*2013-06-28, version 1.1*

Tried to discover a Johnson Metasys NCE with this device.  I could not see it with this app.
