### 1/5 — Needs some love

*2021-09-26*

The app seems very slow. Takes ages to communicate with the netool.io device…

### 3/5 — Just OK

*2020-03-28*

As stated by other reviewer,
Slow,
But if not in a hurry, usable.
My main gripe is connecting.
Do I turn app on first , or netool.io, .
... it is just so frustrating getting it to be all in sync...
App, WiFi, etc....   then waiting for the information to show up.... torture 
But once it works... it is usable and convenient.

### 5/5 — THE tool for all Network Engineers

*2019-04-11*

I manage a network for a mid sized K-12 school district and this tool is incredible.  In the age of dongles this tool is the answer.  The developers are just as incredible, very responsive and constantly updating the capabilities of the netool.

### 3/5 — Sloooow

*2019-01-17*

I love my Netool but I don’t use it as much as I would like to because the app runs so frustratingly slow. Sometimes it just says ‘connecting’ literally for minutes before showing the port status. Im using a iphone xs.
