A must for all Thread networks

So far, this is the most comprehensive app I’ve found for viewing and monitoring Thread networks. Considering that Apple (HomeKit) basically hides many things their thread network rather than expose it, I find this app pretty impressive. I love the last update — keep them coming and keep up the good work.
