## What is Scott's Pinger?

From the developer of the Award Winning Conversion Calculator App, "Mila's Tools", comes "Scott's Pinger" - an elegant, no frills, easy-to-use website status and up-time monitor. 

- - - - 

Monitor your websites, APIs, and services in real time. Scott's Pinger checks your URLs on a configurable schedule and gives you instant visibility into uptime, response speed, and performance — right from your iPhone.

Know the moment something goes wrong. Get push notifications when a site goes down and when it recovers. View detailed response times, HTTP status codes, and performance analysis for every check.

FREE FEATURES • Monitor unlimited URLs from your device • Real-time status: Good, Slow, or Failed • Response time measurement (time to first byte) • Configurable check intervals (30s, 1m, 2m, 5m) • 24-hour on-device check history • Performance gauge with speed analysis • Actionable performance and security tips • Multiple themes including dark mode • Works with HTTP and HTTPS URLs • Runs on iPhone

PLUS — 24/7 CLOUD MONITORING • 25 cloud-monitored URLs • Checks every 15 minutes, around the clock • Push notifications on failure and recovery • 30-day check history • Monitoring continues when the app is closed

PRO — MAXIMUM COVERAGE • 100 cloud-monitored URLs • Checks as often as every 1 minute • Push notifications on failure and recovery • 1-year check history • Everything in Plus, scaled up

HOW IT WORKS Add any URL — your website, API endpoint, staging server, or any HTTP/HTTPS address. Scott's Pinger measures time to first byte for each check, giving you accurate response time data without downloading full page content.

The performance gauge gives you an at-a-glance speed rating with a detailed breakdown of DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, and server processing time. Built-in tips analyze your results and suggest concrete improvements.

With a Plus or Pro subscription, your monitors are checked 24/7 from the cloud — even when your phone is in your pocket. Get instant push alerts the moment a site fails, and again when it recovers.

Whether you're a developer keeping tabs on production, a freelancer watching client sites, or just someone who wants to know when their blog goes down — Scott's Pinger has you covered.

Privacy first: local data stays on your device. Cloud monitoring data is stored securely and tied to your anonymous account. No sign-up required.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-02-03*

Thanks

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2023-11-16*

Wonderful

**Developer response:** Thanks so much! New version 2 will be out in a day or two. How you like it!

### 5/5 — Nice App

*2023-08-03*

The app is simple to use. I need to know when sites are up on my dedicated server.  Is there a widget I can use to see at a glance if the server is up and or if a specific site is down.  One red button if the main server itself is down .. then further investigation will determine next steps. Thanks for a good app!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much! New version 2 will be out in the next day or two. How you like it! Widget is a great idea. I'll definitely look into it.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2023-02-03, version 1.8.2*

Very easy to use and effective. Brilliant. Thanks Scott!! Look forward to more good stuff from you

### 5/5 — Scott’s Pinger

*2021-02-01*

Just installed, get app, ideal for my IT consulting business

**Developer response:** 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Love to hear it! New version 2 will be out in the next day or two. How you like it!

### 5/5 — Most useful

*2017-06-02*

What a great tool to easily monitor websites being up, degraded or not responding. Excellent.

### 1/5 — Não trabalha em segundo plano

*2017-05-05*

O App é bom, mas não trabalha em segundo plano. Então o celular fica com a tela ligada o tempo todo e não podemos ver outra coisa, pois o App desliga e para o ping.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback!

Ficamos felizes em saber que você gostou do app no geral. Sobre o problema de rodar em segundo plano, estamos lançando a versão 2 em um ou dois dias, e ela inclui a nova opção de monitoramento na nuvem (cloud monitoring).

Com isso, o app vai continuar funcionando mesmo quando não estiver em primeiro plano, sem precisar deixar a tela do celular ligada o tempo todo. Assim você poderá usar outros apps normalmente sem o ping parar.

Assim que a versão 2 estiver disponível, avisaremos você!

### 5/5 — Great little utility

*2017-01-16*

This little app tells you the ping time of your website over various network types. Simple and useful.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Version 2 has been a loooong time coming. Should be out within the next day or two. Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for the 5 stars! 🙏♥️

### 1/5 — Super annoying update reminders in the free version!

*2016-10-15*

These super annoying and frequent reminders make the free version totally useless.

**Developer response:** Update reminders be gone! Version 2 comes out in just a day or two, and I promise those annoying alerts are now entirely under control. Hope you have a chance to try it out! Maybe we can add a few stars to that 1 if you like it! Ouch! 😆

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-10-11*

Simple and effective. Does what it says. I will run the test in a meeting when trying to illustrate page load problems. I can show the developers a problem in realtime. The cool sound effects are, well, cool. 😎
