### 4/5 — Works fine

*2026-05-30*

Does what it says on the tin.

### 2/5 — Not great, I’m afraid

*2025-11-09, version 4.0.1*

The inability to retain saved identities assigned in the iPad app renders it pointless. Having to rename units already identified previously is just a nonsense. Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Essential utility

*2025-09-28*

This app is an essential utility that I find myself using all of the time. I only wish iOS let you retrieve the MAC addresses still.

### 1/5 — No Max Address

*2024-02-16*

I setup my devices by MAC address as well as ip address. This gives you no MAC addresses while the iMac version does.not worth it

**Developer response:** Hello Pricklier,
Since iOS 11 MAC addresses are not retrievable on iPhone or iPad. This is nothing we can change as developer, I am sorry. This is clearly stated in the app description. You will not find any iOS app in the App Store that can show the MAC adresses. Please send us a mail and we will refund you if iNet is of no use for you.

### 5/5 — Great way to see your home network

*2023-08-07*

INet scanner is fast and returns a list of IPs on your network. This is very useful when I need to know the address of a device (printer, Raspberry Pi, etc.) that I want to connect. The MAC address is hidden by Apple from all iPadOS apps (including INet scanner), so if you need that info, best to use the MacOS version of the program. 

On the iPad, I can quickly connect to a service on the network, like SSH to rPi, or a device that has a web interface. Easy to ping a device that you know should be responsive to help determine if there is an issue.

This is a great utility!

### 1/5 — Do Not Purchase

*2022-10-12*

It doesn’t do what it states.  Sent message via the app support email and did not receive a reply.   

Go outside, talk to yourself and then light a twenty dollar bill on fire.   Just as productive it seems.

### 1/5 — DON’T PURCHASE

*2022-08-09*

This app does’ t give you any information on anything it scans, no MAC address, it only tells you it pinged something, sometimes it will give you a host name. I’m requesting a refund.

### 5/5 — Handy but hamstrung by Apple

*2022-03-17, version 3.5*

A simple to use tool for recording what’s on the network and keeping track of what’s up and what’s not. Nice customisation features for name and icon although not as featured as the iMac version. Biggest let down is the inability to find and show MAC addresses due to Apple’s crazy so-called security policy though they don’t disallow this on the desktop version.

### 4/5 — Ethernet support

*2021-05-01, version 3.1*

This is probably the best network scanner on the App Store. Unfortunately it only works on WiFi. It would be great if it would support Ethernet connection too.

### 2/5 — Unusable in portrait mode

*2021-04-29*

Take a look at the screenshots. Notice anything? None of them are in portrait mode. That’s right, if you want to use this app you have to disable the orientation lock, because it’s barely usable otherwise. When in portrait mode there are huge portions of the interface that simply cannot be accessed on the right side of the screen. 

New bug? Hardly. It’s been this way for at least two years, I believe after they did a major UI facelift. I emailed them twice but no one could be bothered to respond.
