I’m removing it from my system to avoid frustrations. ### 3/5 — tolles Programm... *2026-07-10* ... aber nachdem ich aus Überzeugung etwas dafür bezahlt habe, möchte ich bitte keine Overlays und Werbung sehen. Wäre das machbar? ### 3/5 — うーん… *2026-04-28* 日本語にできないです。 改善していただきたく、レビューを書きました。 機能的にはとても満足しております。 ### 2/5 — No trial *2026-04-10, version 6.25* Probably would have bought it if it had a full capability trial period. As it is it’s paywalled right from the start and no way to evaluate it completely. So I deleted it. ### 3/5 — 15 device limit *2026-02-18, version 6.20* the 15 device free version limit is not enough in modern times when you have multiple mobile devices, printer, desktop, laptop, security camera and so on. but when you do have less than 16 devices is a really nice app. however out of principle i never pay for software hence the three star. ### 4/5 — Wesh bien *2026-01-13* Bien, ça scanne les IP MAIS certaines sont pas bien vues, alors est-ce que parcequ’elles sont en shadow ? J’ai eu le cas sur NAS un SYNOLOGY ### 5/5 — Satisfait *2025-12-28* Très bon logiciel, très facile à utiliser. ### 4/5 — Printing Options *2025-12-23, version 6.14* I wish it would allow you to pick what fields it could print and that it would include the notes in the print as well. Otherwise, it works well. ### 2/5 — Only shows full list with paid upgrade *2025-12-07, version 6.12* It looked like a promising app and I would have paid a bit to unlock all the features. However I can’t even see the full list of devices connected to our network without paying $13.99. ### 5/5 — Extremely handy for home and SMB *2025-12-04, version 6.12* Indispensable utility to assign meaningful names and icons to all those phones, laptops and smart home devices on your network. Especially good for devices that don’t automatically display much with the access point built-in software to audit and track what you’ve got. ### 3/5 — It works, but *2025-12-01, version 6.11* It works, but it’s absolutely mind blowing how resource intensive it is, do not forget to pause it when you leave the window, because it will just keep scanning, and it will do it while using up more resources than a complex 3d cad model! This is one of the only things that will make my M1 heat up and hemorrhage battery. ### 5/5 — Super *2025-11-28* Der Scanner macht, was er soll. Die Komponenten im Netzwerk sind schnell gefunden. Der Portscan funktioniert auch recht flott. ### 5/5 — Mukesh *2025-11-15* Bhau ### 5/5 — Noice *2025-10-24, version 6.08* It does what its supposed to without ads and for less than 20mb of storage! I also love the 2000s customizable device icons! ### 5/5 — Not bad *2025-10-23, version 6.08* It’s good as the application I use in windows ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading and Incomplete Results *2026-04-07, version 6.23* App does not display accurate information as shown in App Store. No MAC Address is displayed and the manufacturer title shows the number of seconds it was updated. Useless app at best ### 1/5 — Deleat? *2026-03-19, version 6.23* Not what I was looking for I want to Delate off my PC! ### 1/5 — Not very good *2026-03-02, version 6.17* Only reported 7 devices on my network of over 30 ### 1/5 — Update crashed immediately *2025-12-11, version 6.13* Just updated it and it crashed. Reopen and shows nothing. ### 1/5 — almost liked it *2025-10-19, version 6.05* as soon as it asked for money it got deleted ### 1/5 — App ecosystem confusion *2025-09-29, version 6.03* There are too many variations of the same app in these app stores vs the iphone and ive paid for a bunch and none of them seem to talk to eachother ### 1/5 — Leider nicht vertrauensvoll *2025-07-08* Findet nicht alle Teilnehmer, wenn dann dauert es Lange, verändert die Darstellung der Teilnehmer. ### 1/5 — Free version (Lite) Worthless for novice *2025-06-27, version 5.27* There is no set of instructions or any information regarding use of the app. It runs a system scan with a display of devices with addresses. Nothing else and a search doesn’t yield any. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-06-25, version 5.27* Doesn’t work. Just crashes every time I open it. ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad *2025-06-04, version 5.27* Works on my iPhone but not on iPad. Says No WiFi detected when iPad is connected and working on WiFi. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best little sniffer *2026-07-29, version 6.34* I am so glad I got this - found a little sneaky little computer that a programmer had changing IPs every minute to hide the thing. Exported a few scans to a spreadsheet and did a compare for each row and discovered it. Got my lunch paid for. ### 5/5 — very good app for ip scanning *2026-07-27* very good ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-06-20, version 6.29* Straight to the point! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-05-29* This app works insanely well. No ads, no pushing you to subscribe to premium, just a tool that detects devices in your local network. Perfect for people like me that work a lot with raspberry Pi’s. ### 5/5 — Perfektes Tool *2026-04-16* Der IP Scanner ist perfekt um sein Heimnetzwerk zu überwachen (z.B. lokale Geräte wie Router im Browser öffnen). Außerdem: Kostenlos und ohne Werbung o. ä. ### 5/5 — IP Scanner *2026-03-21, version 6.17* Great app fines all items connected to your router ideal for finding the ip address of all your devices 😄👍 ### 5/5 — I shows me what I wanted to see *2026-03-08, version 6.22* I needed the information on a important connection and it was there for me. ### 5/5 — NICE TO SEE AND KNOW WHAT’S ON NETWORK *2026-02-22, version 6.20* I downloaded the trial version just to see how IP SCANNER worked. It gave me a quick snapshot of most of my network, and presented it in a grid format which I found recognizable. I upgraded to the full version and saw I had a lot more devices than I realized on my home network…DOESN’T EVERYBODY?? I also found a couple of items I still trying to track down. But it is also nice to know that if someone else is ti=riding on my track I can ‘see them’. Very happy! ### 5/5 — Worked well *2026-01-16, version 6.18* Its simple and what I needed ### 5/5 — An exceptional tech support experience *2026-01-15, version 6.18* I rarely write reviews, but in this case I have to call out tech support for their immediate response (on a Saturday evening no less) to a problem I found with a storm of DNS lookups. They were extremely responsive, and had a new version out within a couple of days. Bravo --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
