## Most critical reviews (3 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Only Matter Devices

*2026-06-07*

Thread devices that are HomeKit native (not Matter) do not scan.

**Developer response:** Partial support for HomeKit devices was added in v1.7

### 5/5 — This App is a Must Have

*2026-08-03*

This app provides sooo much more information versus Apple’s dns-sd utility.  While dns-sd is useful, this app goes well beyond to show ACTIONABLE information in the form of retransmissions, error rates, reboots, etc.

Exporting Thread Doctor’s JSON scan data and feeding to Claude (or your favorite LLM) gives the LLM a lot to work with, especially if you’ve documented your network Mac/IPs/etc in a form the LLM can digest (I use Markdown with standardized frontmatter managed by Obsidian Notes, but any similar source of truth would be fine).

Thread Doctor works fine on macOS as well (I’m running it under macOS 27 beta 4 which bodes well for when Golden Gate is released.

Kudos to the author.  This is a wonderful tool.

**Developer response:** ❤️

### 5/5 — A must for all Thread networks

*2026-06-16*

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.

**Developer response:** ❤️
