### 4/5 — Fond vert de l’application fatigue les yeux

*2024-02-24*

Super l’application mais elle
Serait bien mieux avec un fin clair et pas ce vert qui fait mal aux yeux dès lors qu’on y est un moment … faite là avec un fond clair (blanc bleu ciel verre vert clair ) merci

### 4/5 — MAC address hidden

*2023-03-04*

I need to enter the MAC address every time I want to wake up my nas. It worked before. What do I have to get it working again?

### 3/5 — VoiceOverに対応希望

*2022-09-29*

とても良いネットワークツールアプリなので、ぜひVoiceOverに対応してください。よろしくお願いします。

### 4/5 — Great app but hard to read

*2022-07-27, version 1.10.11*

I really love this app as well other apps by this developer.  My only issue that it’s hard to see.  I wish this app as well other apps have bigger fonts so it would be easier to see and read.  Here hoping for bigger fonts (selectable within app or by iOS accessibility feature).

### 3/5 — Ok

*2022-06-26*

Wifi-Scan funktioniert nicht

### 3/5 — No IPv6 support

*2022-02-27, version 1.10.9*

Seems to work ok, however no IPv6 support, so no use for me.

### 2/5 — Keine Verbindung mit Wlan

*2022-01-09*

Scannen geht, aber das verbundene WLAN lässt sich nicht scannen. Gibt immer eine Fehlermeldung, dass man nicht verbunden sei.
Ubiquiti WLAN AP, IOS 15.2, Iphone 13 Pro max

### 4/5 — Nice

*2021-12-27*

Nice, wake on lan tested and OK.

### 2/5 — Besserung

*2021-12-27*

Leider erkältet das Programm nicht alle WLAN Geräte und es wäre toll wenn Mann den Geräten einen Namen geben könnte . Sollte das behoben werden was super toll wäre würde ich meine Sterne neu setzen Lg

### 2/5 — Каналы Wi-Fi

*2021-06-07*

Что-то не понятно. Прекрасная программа с большой историей обновлений. И не показывает загрузку каналов Wi-Fi???
Или я не нашёл эту опцию?

### 4/5 — Near perfect

*2021-01-05, version 1.10.9*

Update 1/5/2020: I love this app.  iPad support was added and it’s been great!

It really has every quick and necessary network utility in a clean and tidy package. A couple of things that would make it perfect.

Color schemes - The green is a little too much at times.
iCloud sync across devices

Add those two things and it is a no brainer 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work As Advertised

*2020-04-05, version 1.10.3*

WARNING: Does not actually do all the things it says it does.  Save your money, don’t buy!!

### 4/5 — Great Apps

*2020-01-14*

I recommend to those who understand in telecommunications

### 1/5 — wow. so bad

*2023-05-13, version 1.11*

downloaded and paid for app to see if the channel for wifi needed to be changed. you need a computer science degree to use this app. totally useless for the average non IT pro. i mean would it hurt to put some easy to use things in like a channel traffic icon or something to help those who arent experts on wifi networks? useless in any way i can tell.

### 1/5 — Bug reports

*2022-11-25, version 1.11*

Only had this a week and it’s generated over 20 analytics reports (bug309+301) so far, and is no longer working as it did. What ever I try to scan just says host is down ???

### 1/5 — Не сканирует

*2022-06-26*

У меня у одного при поп-арте просканировать локалку говорит что я не подключён к Wi-Fi сети?

### 1/5 — Interface sucks

*2022-04-16, version 1.10.9*

Tiny print.  Green, on green on more green. No option to change it. 
Really pretty in a sunny room on a shiny screen. Pure genius. Nice functionality, I think. Too bad it does not come with magnifying glass.

### 1/5 — Scany

*2022-01-19*

Не соответствует описанию, и постоянно вылетает

### 1/5 — Не сканирует

*2022-01-07*

Локальную сеть на подключенные устройства, что есть в описании. На самом деле прога ни о чем. Деньги вообще за что.

### 1/5 — Fake reviews

*2021-09-25, version 1.10.9*

The app bundle bears no resemblance to the examples shown. I typed in an IP address, pressed scan and the results were a blank page and a pause button in upper right corner. There is a Whois tool but those are free online. On a consecutive page the scan results were for my IP/Verizon cellular although the IP I queried was a WiFi connection (292.168….)

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2021-07-31*

Erkennt null Komma nichts.

### 1/5 — Дорого и без сканирования WiFi

*2021-03-10*

Прога нормально работает, но ценник завышен. И главное - ожидаемый функционал сканирования WiFi сетей отсутствует, купил ожидая что в таком приложении уж это точно будет, описание ввело в заблуждение. Но нет, увы. Логично было бы добавить это, позиционируя приложение как инструмент для администраторов.

### 1/5 — Not working!

*2020-12-12, version 1.10.9*

WiFi scanning does not work at all and error states that you are not connected to WiFi or LAN. Did not throw your money away.

### 5/5 — Still trucking!

*2025-03-20, version 1.11*

I’ve been using this app for years and it’s just a good, solid app. Does what it says on the tin. Works great. It is like a mobile version of ping, tracert, netcat, telnet, dns, all in one! Great UI, and supported through many iPhone generations.

### 5/5 — Such a handy app!

*2025-03-05, version 1.11*

I have been using this app for years. It has consistently worked well for me and has been my default tool for locating devices and open ports on my networks.

### 5/5 — Must Have

*2022-01-18*

I am using the app since iPhone 4 and always loved it. Recently I noticed a bug: The HW mac address does not show up on devices discovered by new scans. Although mac addresses of devices from scans in the past are still visible.
iOS 15.2
iPhone SE (2020)
App 1.10.9

### 5/5 — Годно

*2021-03-31*

С учётом ограничений эппла очень достойно, дизайн посветлей бы хотелось.

### 5/5 — Works!!! Worth it .....

*2021-02-12, version 1.10.9*

After trying the free ones which were spotty at best I was skeptical about paying for this but you get what you pay for and after 2 mins with this I was able to set up my WOL and boot up my pc using my iPhone and wake it from sleep mode. Works every time I’m so glad I found something I didn’t have to spend time troubleshooting. 

This has a ton of other features that might come in handy later so I can’t speak to those but it’s a nice piece of mind knowing that it will be here if and when I need them this gets an A +++++ from me .

### 5/5 — Needs landscape support

*2020-10-11, version 1.10.5*

It works really well, except that it doesn’t work in landscape, which is hard when you’ve got an iPad with a hardware keyboard.

**ETA: Picked up landscape support in October 2020, which fixed the only real issue I had with it.  Thanks!!!

### 5/5 — Отличная прога

*2020-01-27*

но бесит на айпэде, что нет лендскейп мода. но лучше все равно нету ничего.

**Developer response:** Горизонтальный режим на iPad добавлен в свежем обновлении. Спасибо, что делаете наши приложения лучше!

### 5/5 — Scany is by far the best

*2019-07-04, version 1.10.3*

Hands down best at what it does ... each hop is measured In real time .. can’t find that anywhere else ..

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-02-08, version 1.10.3*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Cool! But...

*2018-12-12*

Если хост локальный, хочу дождаться ответа на пинг, но программа не позволяет мониторить появление оффлайн хоста. Хотелось бы это исправить, добавить возможность длительно пинговать оффлайн хосты.
—-
1. Прошёл год, оффлайн хосты так и не пингуются. Мониторить появление хостов невозможно!
2. Отсутствует возможность задать Макарием вручную, при этом автоматическое определение мак адреса появляется и пропадает от версии к версии.

**Developer response:** Записал в план :)
