## What is PingPlotter?

Be the hero - network troubleshooting powers for mortals

Get notified about network problems the moment they occur and find culprits quickly with PingPlotter's graphing and alert system. Our best in class graphical traceroute and ping tools go wherever your network needs you. With a desktop and mobile version at your disposal, you can pinpoint network problems anywhere, anytime.

For instant vision into network performance, simply enter a target address and PingPlotter will begin graphing latency and packet loss. The multi-dimensional output is displayed on two graphs - a trace graph that plots current measurements for all participating routers and a timeline graph that shows individual router performance over time. 

Audio based monitoring keeps hands and eyes free for other activities while playing sounds that inform ears about network performance. A monitoring system especially useful during visually demanding, network dependent, activities like online gaming. While PingPlotter Mobile is streaming background audio, players can keep their eyes on the game, hear when network performance deteriorates, and take cover before lag negatively effects their experience.

### 2/5 — Was great, then they tool packet loss away, now does not work

*2024-07-19, version 1.4.1*

Was great, recommended it to hundreds of people to diagnose internet issues … but they took the packet loss column away … and now 2024-07 the app no longer works, can’t see any buttons to stset a new trace, nothing .. just a list of past traces ???

### 5/5 — Nice app but having issue with resolution

*2024-07-16, version 1.4.1*

Everything is working perfectly accept screen resolution

### 1/5 — Needs updates

*2024-05-11, version 1.4.1*

Needs updates - Purchased the app, Noticed that you cannot start a custom trace due to the menu being gone. The menu at the top you can see the text squished on the left hand side.

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2023-01-29, version 1.4.1*

An indispensable tool for network nerds on-the-go

### 1/5 — No Ping plotter Cloud Support

*2023-01-19, version 1.4.1*

This app doesn’t make sense. Why have an app from a company that creates PingPlotter Cloud that doesn’t have Ping Plotter Cloud support? I don’t get it.

### 3/5 — It’s barely adequate

*2022-11-12, version 1.4.1*

First off since iOS 16 there are UI bugs that cause the buttons on the main screen disappear. Secondly make this background properly, it’s a joke that I have to keep the app on my screen…

### 1/5 — Virtually abandoned.

*2022-10-09, version 1.4.1*

Weird how poorly managed this app is.

### 5/5 — Great app. I love it

*2022-10-08, version 1.4.1*

Traceroute graph in real time. Good graph layout. I use it on mac, windows and on ipad. This is very convenient to use the same tool on all devices.

### 1/5 — poor execution, much better ping apps available

*2022-03-20, version 1.4.1*

as a network engineer, I’m familiar with this companies ping plotter tool on desktop. It’s very well done and useful, I have purchased it and use it on occasions where I need to test end to end,  or an entire channel.

So I was very surprised when I tried this app and noticed how poor of an execution the iOS version is.
The interface does not seem to be aligned or scaled properly on iPhone.

Additionally there are pretty much zero settings directly related to the pings. 
When testing Wi-Fi on a mobile device, one needs to be able to set the send interval very low, for example on other Ping apps you can set it as low as 0.1 seconds, ( ie 100ms , or sending 10 pings every one second). The one setting I found like this only went down to 0.5, and when I changed it to that nothing seemed to change, pings were still sending every two seconds which is not very useful.

Additionally what you get for the nine dollar upgrade is a joke.

I would really like to see this app redone and brought more closely to the standards of this company’s desktop app.

### 4/5 — Please allow on M1 computers

*2021-12-08, version 1.4.1*

There is no reason not to allow this to be installed on M1 Mac OS 12+ machines. It would be grest to test on my Mac Book Pro
