### 3/5 — Bonne appli

*2026-01-22*

Mais il semblerait que les packets venant du serveur udp  n’arrivent pas toujours sur le client udp sous iOS. C’est assez aléatoire

### 4/5 — Good app, needs some feature parity

*2022-07-27*

No support for persistent TCP communications. No command line.

### 1/5 — Non-functional

*2021-11-23*

Totally non functional and no instructions provided. 

Tried sending UDP packets to a known good receiver that works with the Packet Sender PC program.  No joy.

### 1/5 — Biggest crap

*2021-08-23*

ALWAYS CRASHING!!! Waisted money!!!!

### 2/5 — Sends, doesn't receive

*2021-05-30*

I bought this because I like their desktop app, which is pretty easy to use.
This mobile app is easy to set up packet send but there seems to be no way to receive, which makes it pretty useless. 
There is zero documentation either in the app or on their website.

### 5/5 — Great developer. Nice application.

*2021-04-26*

Thank you for fix confirmation dialog by my request. 

Best regards Dimi.

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2021-03-28*

It’s very stable and works great! I used this to test program I made for Windows that lets my shutdown my PC remotely. I was able to send as much UDP packets as I needed with this app. I was testing the beta using TestFlight before the app officially released and it’s always been stable. I can tell the creator of this app had coding experience and knows what he/she is doing.
