### 1/5 — Does not work on ipad. Keeps crashing on load

*2024-03-06*

does not load on ipad pro. starts to load but crashes every time I try to use it. Has it passed Apple testing?

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2022-05-04*

Avoid

### 1/5 — Crashes after opening

*2021-07-10*

I am on the latest IOS version and the software crashes after opening. Looks like the developer has not updated the software for a long time.  Others have had the same problem.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-04-11*

Just downloaded (after paying) and when app launches, I see a brief screen which contains network icon then below that line is local but no items. Then after maybe 2 seconds, the app closes and I’m returned to the desktop screen of apps. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. Looking back at App Store description, it seemed to indicate that last version was 3 years ago. ? Needs update for iOS 11?

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money.

*2018-03-06*

Don’t waste your money app crashes the second it opens.  Very unhappy.

### 4/5 — Does what it says it does

*2017-02-24*

This app is very simple, it does the absolutely bare minimum of what it needs to. If you need .local domain mDNS discovery from your phone then it's worth the $1.  (you can do it free from any windows / unix command prompt). I purchased so I could explain to a friend how mDNS when we were at a bar.
