## What is Network Radar?

Whether for troubleshooting, security, or simple curiosity, it’s always helpful to know which devices are connected to your network. Network Radar is a powerful yet easy-to-use network scanning and management tool for iPhone and iPad that gives you detailed insights into all devices on your network.

As Network Radar scans, it instantly displays newly discovered devices. For each device, you can view comprehensive information such as IP address, DNS names, mDNS name, open ports, response time, and more. You can also create scans with custom IP ranges. All scans are saved and can be revisited later — even when your device is no longer connected to that network.

Take advantage of the built-in network utilities, including Ping, Port Scan, Whois, and DNS lookups (forward and reverse). These tools work not only within your local network but also with external IP addresses and domains.

Network Radar is not limited to your local network. Specify custom start and end addresses to scan any reachable segment of any network from your device.

With its intuitive user interface, Network Radar is simple to use across all your iOS devices. It’s a modern, efficient app designed for iOS with minimal impact on your network.

By the way, Network Radar is also available for macOS — check it out!

### 5/5 — Privatanwender

*2026-06-20*

Tolle Software

### 2/5 — Absturz Weltmeister

*2026-01-18*

Absturz Weltmeister neu installieren hilft auch nicht stürzt immer wieder ab

### 1/5 — Standort für IP Scan

*2024-09-03*

Mir ist auch nicht klar warum ich meinen Standort freigeben sollte wenn ich die zu scannende IP Range angegeben habe.

### 2/5 — What’s going on with this app?

*2023-11-30*

I have this app for iPad Pro and MacBook Pro and it seems that the iPad version is broke and will not scan network, says it is “unable to refresh scan”. I have reached out to developer several times without a response. What gives? Can I please get a response from developer?

### 1/5 — App scam

*2023-04-05*

This app it’s scam charged my card $3.30 I didn’t do any purchases on it

### 4/5 — App stürzt beim Start ab

*2023-01-11*

Update: Nach Neuinstallation der App geht es wieder. Nicht ganz optimal

Bin ein gelegentlicher aber zufriedener Nutzer der App. Leider crasht die App wenn ich sie öffnen möchte (iOS 16.2 / iPad Air 4th gen). Bitte um Update.

Beste Grüße aus dem Cyber

### 1/5 — Bob W

*2022-12-11*

Down loaded twice still not working a total waste of my time and money

### 1/5 — Finger weg Schrott

*2022-08-26*

Ich habe heute diese app gekauft. Laufe des Scans waren 2 iPhones 2 iPads 2 Apple Watch 1 Macbook 1 Drucker im Netzwer, erkannt wurden lediglich 4 Geräte. Den entwickler habe ich kontaktiert, telefonisch nicht erreichbar, email seit 1 woche unbeantwortet

### 1/5 — Avoid Network Radar…

*2022-01-23, version 2.4*

Until they agree to stop the spying. The developers of NR state the most recent version of NR requires your location. So how did NR manage to work in the previous versions? The incessant push by software developers to design their apps in such a way as to insist they must have your location in order to give you a better experience, needs to stop. How? By not buying apps that force you to give your location. There are a few app exceptions that do require your general location, such as weather apps. But even in this case all they need is your zip code. Buying Network Radar is asking to be spied upon.

### 2/5 — It’s okay

*2022-01-06*

Barely does more than the free versions. Doesn’t even pick up device names or types.
