### 5/5 — A useful little app

*2026-05-16, version 9.10.3*

Always find I need more than one app to diagnose any network issue. They all differ slightly in what and how easy the info is to access or simply the way it's presented to you is better for the task in hand.

Très bonne appli encore meilleur en version pro

### 4/5 — No ip in widget

*2026-02-07, version 9.10.3*

Love this app, but the widget is only showing ssid and not the network ip. 

Ip tools will show the ip but not the ssid so currently have both widgets together to get around this but it would be great if you guys could update this to fix it

### 5/5 — Wonder_ing

*2025-12-17, version 9.10.3*

Thank God, this app works on my left swipe showing my Public IP Address . I was screen recording and swiped to the left and saw my iPhone was on someone else’s Public IP address inside my home. It showed Fastly, Inc. and I do not have this service just Spectrum and it switched to Spectrum immediately. So, someone using Fastly, Inc. has hijacked my modem from Spectrum. 
Thank God for this app. Now, i need help to get the person, bc they won’t stop on a factory reset. They will be back to stalk and hack me.
