PacketTrends

Staying signed in. If you left the app closed overnight, it could ask you to reconnect your device in the morning even though nothing had actually expired. Your device credential is stored in the iPhone keychain, which by default cannot be read while the phone is locked, so if iOS shut the app down and something woke it before you unlocked, the app saw nothing and sent you back to the connect screen. Credentials are now stored so they stay readable, existing installs upgrade themselves on first launch, and the app no longer signs you out just because it could not read them yet. Alerts that take you to the problem. Tapping a notification used to open the dashboard, leaving you to work out what had just woken you. An alert now opens the host it is about, or the Incidents screen when it covers several hosts at once. This works even when the phone was locked and the app had been shut down, which is when it matters most. Is it my host, or the route to it? When a host is watched from two probes on different networks, the app now tells you which one actually slowed down. If only one probe sees the delay, the host is fine and that probe's route is not. If two independent probes both see it, the host itself is. It appears on a host's Path tab, on the dashboard row, and in the alert. When both probes sit on the same network the app says so plainly instead of guessing, because two probes in the same place agreeing does not tell you anything. Incidents that explain themselves. When several hosts slow down at once for the same reason, the Incidents screen now groups them into a single entry naming the shared network hop responsible, instead of listing each host separately with no explanation. Individual slow hosts show a line saying where along the network path the extra delay starts, so you can tell at a glance whether the problem is yours or your provider's. Also in this version: - Hosts with alerts switched off are now marked on the dashboard, so a host that is being watched but will never page you is easy to spot. - A clearer error when the app and server versions do not match, instead of an unexplained failure.
