## What is Network Sniffer?

Network Sniffer is an intelligent network activity analyzer that helps you understand what your apps are really doing online.
No technical skills required — easily identify: Which apps are secretly connecting to the internet? Are they sending requests frequently in the background? Is your privacy at risk or data being wasted? You're no longer a passive user — you're in control.

Core Features (not limited to):
1. Deep Network Analysis: Visual reports showing which apps are connecting, what they are sending, how often, and whether there’s abnormal or wasteful activity.
2. Network Sniffing: Capture HTTP/HTTPS/WebSocket traffic on your iOS device, with full MITM support for encrypted traffic analysis.
3. External Proxy: Route device traffic through an external proxy server, enabling custom inspection, filtering, and debugging of network requests.
4. JavaScript Scripting: Create custom rules and behaviors using JavaScript to enhance and personalize your network inspection.
5. Request Replays: Resend captured requests to test app behavior under various conditions — ideal for debugging and performance testing.
6. Request/Response Rewrite: Modify headers and bodies of requests and responses on the fly, giving you unmatched control over data flows.
7. Client Proxy: Forward requests from other devices on your local network to this device for centralized debugging.
8. Upstream Proxy Support: Forward HTTP requests to a third-party proxy server for advanced testing or network routing scenarios.
9. Widgets & Dynamic Island Support: Monitor upload/download speeds and data usage in real time via homescreen widgets or the iPhone Dynamic Island.

Permissions
Network Sniffer requires VPN permission to function. This is only used for local traffic capture — no remote servers or proxying involved.

Privacy Notice
Network Sniffer does not upload any of your data and does not include any proxy, VPN bypass, or "scientific access" functions. Your data stays on your device.

### 1/5 — No App Icon After Downloading

*2026-07-08*

I bought the full version. There is not an installed app after downloading iOS version. Searching with spotlight returns zero results. I have to go to the App Store and tap on “Open.”  Seems suspicious. I don’t know.

**Developer response:** Hi Jo.Jo.,

Thank you for your purchase and for letting us know about this issue.

The app installation itself is completed normally. In some cases, iOS may automatically place newly installed apps into the App Library or a less visible Home Screen page, which can make the app icon difficult to find and may temporarily affect Spotlight search results.

You can try swiping left to the App Library and searching for the app, or check your Home Screen pages/folders. You can also go to **Settings > Home Screen & App Library** and make sure newly downloaded apps are set to be added to the Home Screen.

We appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the full version. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us miaozhi.ai@gmail.com.

very good and complete app

**Developer response:** 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

### 5/5 — Price, Functionality, Intuitive UI, MITM, Trustworthy, Data Rich, NO JAILBREAK

*2025-12-20*

I have had this for a couple weeks and I have learned so much about the background noise and foreground requests my apps make. It does not put its own traffic helping keep it clean. The price is the best there is and it has no red flags on the web.  You do have to download a profile run it’s built in VPN with a Trust certificate. But it’s been around a long time and has not abused that power.  This is the most powerful app in the store by means of what it can do. And it grabs all the traffic your apps make when they are used or sitting in the back ground. Props to the team that made this app! I never I mean never write reviews. I had to for this app.

**Developer response:** 🙇‍♂️🙇🙇‍♀️

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2025-12-10*

This app is worthless. It does not do what it claims. Don’t waste your time or money on it.

**Developer response:** The app is free to try and is used by thousands of users with a 4.6 average rating. We welcome any constructive feedback and would be glad to help or improve — feel free to reach us at miaozhi.ai@gmail.com
