This is my second favorite networking application. And part of my EDC, or ‘every day carry.’ There are more than enough tools to assess and troubleshoot even the most difficult networking issues I’ve encountered yet. And there’s room to improve by including even more resources. The only problem I have with this application is I find some of it disorganized, confused about how I’m supposed to integrate certain scans or results with other features I think then I would appreciate this app even more than I already do now. I think the more I start utilizing the record-keeping parts of it, I’ll have built a database of objects and data, things will become more transparent, and I’ll begin to see the many ways to begin incorporating that data to obtain even better tool utilization. Keep up the good work so we can too! Best of luck! ### 2/5 — Security Issues *2023-02-07, version 4.37* Uses Google to perform tests. The reason I use an Apple device, is to avoid Google. Can you imagine what would happen if Google's information database fell into the wrong hands? ### 2/5 — Can’t find documentation *2023-01-02, version 4.37* Can’t find any documentation on how to use the app features. Looked on the website as well. If it’s there it’s not easily accessible for normal users. Also the developer doesn’t disclose anything in the “privacy” section on App Store. ### 4/5 — Finally! *2022-06-25* Finally an app that can do more then ping!! ### 4/5 — good *2020-12-04, version 4.37* love ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2020-04-04* Don’t bother with this experimental good for nothing app ### 5/5 — Pretty cool *2019-03-17* This is a cool app it’s nice to see all the devices on LAN ;) ### 5/5 — Too much Wi-Fi *2019-01-22, version 4.36* I absolutely love this app. It is located so many Wi-Fi sources and applications near my home and does help me understand why my speeds are so low. Best app I’ve used yet. ### 1/5 — Free watch app totally useless *2018-10-05* What a waste of time. The free version simply launches activities on your phone. I might as well just do it all in the phone app. ### 5/5 — Nice app - works great *2018-10-04, version 4.36* Lots of info - if you know what you are looking at. For those that don’t know, google it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A huge disappointment *2024-02-25* Absolutely nothing worked in the app. All that was displayed was the add for the paid non-ad version. Not sure where the glowing remarks came from but my experience totally unwarranted. Sorry CD ### 1/5 — Asks for payment after I’ve downloaded it *2023-07-06* Why is it asking for payment I have this in my cloud ### 1/5 — Advertising still appears after paying for ad - free version *2021-10-17, version 4.37* I just installed the app and purchased the ad - free version for $1.99. Received a notification that the app is now ad free. A few clicks later in the app advertising started appearing again. If I could add a screen shot for proof of evidence I would. So in case a screenshot is needed - I have the evidence. If the developer contacts me in a timely manner and has a ad-free solution available I am willing to rate the app with more stars. ### 1/5 — It Blows *2021-05-22, version 4.37* There is absolutely no readouts on either ping or traceroute....Monitoring does absolutely nothing either. Dont buy or even download for that matter ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-05-12, version 4.37* Only shows 1 device out of 12 that I know are on my network. ### 1/5 — Very buggy and not very user friendly *2021-05-05, version 4.37* Very hard to get things done in this app ### 1/5 — Application errors *2020-08-25, version 4.37* Who is will freeze your phone, does not do what is indicated ### 1/5 — Free pings with every 10 ads *2020-07-25, version 4.37* Don’t waste your time. This app is a joke. Poor job at writing the app and worse job trying to integrate ads. Disgraceful ### 1/5 — Nothing works *2020-06-20* Just crashes when you try and do anything. ### 1/5 — crashes *2020-06-19* unfortunately crashes trying to do anything on iOS 12.1 (yes I know that’s old lol :P) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Recommended *2024-03-02* Must have app right here can remove important devices you do not want on WiFi home intrrnet ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-08-08* Super helpful for a cybersecurity beginner to trace whoever is behind the network. ### 5/5 — such a good utility *2022-05-11, version 4.37* perfect tool that gets the job done and some ### 5/5 — Integrity in an app *2022-02-12, version 4.37* I’ll keep it in simple terms; It says what it does and it does what it says. Thank you for all the work that went into this project. Y’all are rockstars. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2021-12-02, version 4.37* Love ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-03-06* Super app, thank you. ### 5/5 — Actually legit *2020-01-07* The best app I've found out there for its functionality and the ads aren't annoying, makes my life easier! ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-10-23* Love it great tool can’t live with out it ### 5/5 — Very helpful!!! *2019-08-12, version 4.36* I’m not tech guy by any means. But when I came here and got Jose’s Network it really help me find thing that I need too. If your liking for an all in one app, well you found it! ### 5/5 — Joes Network Utility *2019-05-21, version 4.36* By far the most detailed network tool I’ve used so far . Easy to use and the bookmark function is really its high point well organized and laid out ! Will be following your work to see upgrades !
