Not the same app anymore.

This app used to allow you to scan local networks via the scan command.

Confused after upgrading to premium

I just ugraded to premium and now when I select options from the settings menu it opens the wrong one, e.g. I wasn't planning on leaving this review, I wanted to change the size of the font and when I clicked the option to change the font size it brought me here...-____- UPDATE: After relaunching the app everything seems normal
