### 3/5 — Could you please upgrade

*2024-02-03*

Could you please upgrade to support ipv6 and It seems not work when enable vpn.

### 4/5 — Beautiful and fast Traceroute Tool

*2020-11-21*

Incredibly fast and smooth traceroute tool. Number one wish though: IPv6 support.

### 4/5 — IPv6

*2020-09-26*

Are you planning to add IPv6 support in your app?

**Developer response:** Sure! But next update will be related to interface fixes.

### 2/5 — Нельзя копировать информацию из приложений

*2020-05-27*

Лучше ещё сделать возможность использовать их параллельно

### 4/5 — Портретный режим

*2019-04-23*

Просьба добавить.

### 4/5 — Works well, location information is suspect

*2018-12-21*

Works well but consistently thinks many AT&T locations in the network are in European Union! Most of these misidentified locations in the AT&T network are in Florida.

### 3/5 — Great app, but why no landscape support on iPad?

*2018-03-06*

Wonderful app!!! Please support landscape mode on iPads, ridiculous on the 12.9” model :(

### 5/5 — 10 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!!

Awesome app. 
Well done Slytherin! 
Well done Slytherin!

### 5/5 — Excellent traceroute app!

*2016-01-04*

This app is an excellent implementation of an MTR style traceroute utility. The graphical presentation of the traceroute data makes it simple to identify network issues. Great for troubleshooting wireless network connectivity issues from a mobile device.

### 5/5 — Fehlt nur noch IPv6

*2015-09-24*

Fehlt nur noch IPv6

### 5/5 — Great!

### 1/5 — don’t download

*2021-09-20*

FAKE APP

### 1/5 — 이거 안됨

*2020-12-28*

구름으로 표시만되고 trace 안됨
사기꾼

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-08-24*

Does not work — keep on saying connection lost . How do I get a refund?

### 1/5 — ПО

*2018-01-29*

При создании нового хоста зависает наглухо приложение

### 1/5 — Could be brilliant, but for a couple of important omissions

*2017-12-31, version 1.10.3*

Why doesn’t this app support _landscape mode_ properly on my iPad? (Shouldn't be listed as iPad-compatible?) It’s permanently stuck in portrait mode - its display doesn't rotate as it should.

Secondly - no IPv6? Wtf - in this day and age? The devs just need to get this modest job _done_, to bring the app into the current century.

If you can live with those limitations, then it gives a nice clear and very informative display and just works.

Would definitely be five stars with these defects fixed.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2014-12-15, version 1.9.9*

Does what it says... GUI is basic, but could not test local wifi router speed just basic pocket loss info. Net Analizer is much better.

### 1/5 — Вылетает после обновления

*2013-12-12*

iPhone 5, ios 7.0.4 вылетает после обновления. Исправьте, плиз.

### 1/5 — Crashes after latest update

*2013-12-12, version 1.9.5*

Crashes (exits app) after 2-3 hops. Bad idea to update.

### 1/5 — 구매목록 삭제 부탁드립니다

*2011-12-05*

구매목록 삭제 부탁드립니다

### 1/5 — Crash

*2010-03-28, version 0*

Crashes. Doesn't do much. Crashes. Useless for me. New pod on wifi

### 5/5 — Полезно

*2026-02-20*

Очень круто сделано, трассировка строится, все красиво, даже AS добавили провайдерам :)

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2025-04-17*

Simply the best app for understanding what is going on between your phone and the website you are getting data from. I’ve learnt so much about the network from it.

### 5/5 — mtr 스타일의 trace route

*2023-07-02*

아주 만족합니다.
구름 표시 나오고 뒤가 안보인다는 리뷰가 있던데,
mtr 처럼 목록은 다 나오게 하면 오해가 없을 것 같네요.

### 5/5 — ващее

*2022-10-22*

норм

### 5/5 — Absolutely Essential for Travel

*2022-09-22*

When traveling I am always stitching together flaky Wifi networks and various VPNs for security. Without this app I would have no insight into what the issue is. With this I am able to quickly see what isn’t working and workaround/fix it.

That is my use case, but there are tons more obviously. This app is so clutch!

### 5/5 — I don’t know how a traceroute could be better!

*2021-04-09*

This is hands down the best app for traceroutes.

### 5/5 — Great tool for networking

*2020-10-19*

Thank you to the developer. I’ve been using the trace tool and related utilities since they came out a few years ago.

Very helpful for debugging, and I find that when I change hosts that running trace a few times helps get the new name-IP resolution out there sooner. I run a few traces, switch services or DNS servers and run again.

Thanks again!! A well crafted, good looking, and reliable app.

### 5/5 — Wi-Fi, carrier, hotspot/MiFi & SIP VoIP user troubleshooting godsend!!

*2020-09-26, version 1.10.3*

Update: I no longer use a MiFi or SIP regularly. But it’s still a VoIP user and general troubleshooting godsend!

Original review:My most used Utility.
I just wish it was configurable to keep running (perhaps slower) in the background if needed.

Included in their Scany app.

Buggy sometimes...  Old bug I think they have fixed : Gives nonsense stats like 15947% loss when data is out of bounds.

### 5/5 — Useful troubleshooting tool

*2018-10-19*

It comes in handy for testing the availability of site. You can compare routes with cellular versus WiFi or iPhone versus desktop.

### 5/5 — 简单，好用

*2018-02-23*

正好在找wol，发现以前限免收的，很好用，推荐！
