## What is Ping Monitor?

Monitor the performance of your website, web service, your personal server farm or your home network. Or all at the same time. You never have to refresh, as you always get the most up-to-date and accurate information in real-time. Ping Monitor will even keep watching your servers while in background.

______◢◤ FEATURES ◥◣______

▪ Monitor Pings & URLs
Monitor response time of servers or make sure URLs return the expected content. [1]

▪ Easy to use
Ping Monitor is absolutely straightforward and self-explanatory. No fiddling around with complicated settings or accounts.

▪ Extremely accurate
Ping Monitor uses a special monitoring engine with intelligent ping queueing so that you get the most accurate results.

▪ Real-time & concurrent
Why should you bother with a refresh button? Just watch all your servers in real-time.

▪ Background Monitoring (Pro only)
Using Background Fetch you can keep an eye on your servers even while you are not using your mobile device. [2]

▪ HTTP/HTTPS content matching (Pro Only)
You can not only check availability of URLs but also match specific content patterns. This is especially useful for web services, for example you could make sure your REST API returns this json string: " { 'name' : 'Michael Kuck' } "

▪ iCloud Syncing
All servers are automatically saved across sessions and synced to all devices via iCloud. So they are always just one tap away.

I would love to hear from you, so please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

__________________________

[1] Upgrade to Ping Monitor Pro to monitor more than 3 servers at the same time and to enable background & URL monitoring
[2] When exactly and how often Background Fetches are executed is solely decided by iOS.

Also please note: The free version may display ads. Those will be removed when upgrading to the Pro Version via In-App Purchase.
The background pattern was provided by subtlepatterns.com.

### 1/5 — Не працює зовсім!

*2024-06-15, version 2.1.1*

Додаток не працює!  Поверніть гроші!

### 1/5 — Push-Benachrichtigung funktionieren nicht!

*2023-12-12, version 2.1.1*

Leider funktionieren die Push Benachrichtigungen nicht wodurch meine 3€  Investitionen in die Premium Version umsonst waren.

### 1/5 — Not as described

*2022-09-24, version 2.1.1*

Pro version does not work in background and no push notifications, waste of money 
Tried contacting developer and no reply.

### 2/5 — 通知されない

*2022-03-26, version 2.1.1*

ios 15.4でpro版を導入したが、pingが失敗しても通知されない。
また、「export cloud data 」をクリックするとアプリが落ちる。

### 1/5 — Pro version does not work in background !

*2021-12-09, version 2.1.1*

I found the app useful, so I bought the Pro version that supposedly works in the background, but even if the server is down, no notification. If I put the app in the foreground, it then takes a second before it shows that the ping failed.

### 1/5 — Fake app

*2021-05-23*

It doesn’t work in the background, or it pings from an external IP, so private networks won’t work

### 2/5 — Background checking does not notify you

*2020-07-20, version 2.0.14*

The app does not notify you if it is not running on screen

### 1/5 — Push notifications don’t work.

*2020-05-20*

Paid version doesn’t work in background even though Apple has APIs for this. Notifications do not send. Developer website contact form is broken.

### 1/5 — No notification

*2020-02-26, version 2.0.14*

Hi,

I have update pro plan but do not have notification when server down

### 4/5 — コンテンツマッチ使える！

*2020-02-24, version 2.0.14*

URL監視のコンテンツマッチ機能が使えます。HEADメソッドの監視ツールが多いのですが、こたらはGETメソッドで、しかもマッチさせたい文字列が指定可能です。

ただ、課金しないとこの機能が試せないので、最初から試せるとこの機能をもっと知ってもらえると思います。あと、自動監視だけではなく、監視間隔も指定できると良いです。あと、レスポンスタイムの閾値も欲しいです。あと、結果も、OK/NGだけでなく、レスポンスタイム表示などもう少し詳細な情報がほしいです。ログもあると良い。

あとhttps://www.soumu.go.jp/というサイトで、日本語のマッチングが上手くいかなかったです。マッチングのロジックがダメなのかは、httpsがダメなのかは不明。

良いツールだと思うので、頑張って下さい。
