It doesn't do anything. App now deleted ### 1/5 — Not working *2013-11-05, version 1.3.5* New iPad Air. App has stopped working period. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2013-07-17, version 1.3.5* I've tried 10 addresses. It simply tells me the IP address I entered is invalid. ### 1/5 — Seems to work *2013-04-25, version 1.3.5* Shows map & connections, but $9.99 to remove ads is a joke. Might as well make it $999 ### 1/5 — Buggy app *2013-04-11, version 1.3.5* Several issues: 1) At my home location, didn't determine my location automatically, did not offer me any way to fix that, and then wouldn't trace a route because of it. 2) Showed locations on the wrong continent from where they existed, often repeating one location for many different ones that followed. 3) Bounced all over the place, often back and forth between same two locations a dozen times. 4) On one connection, went half-way across the country to ISP headquarters, then back to local server, before running the rest of the trace. A waste of drive space (.5M), for the most part. Nice concept, but not designed well, not debugged thoroughly. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-03-01, version 1.3.5* I can't find any functionality. It does however, show your position on google maps... ### 1/5 — App does NOT work *2012-10-04, version 1.3.5* I have tried over 20 hostnames and ip's and always get the same error about "filtered packets"... I have tried unpopular sites as well as popular sites like yahoo.. My service is with AT&T and I can honestly say this app doesn't work and is not worth wasting the time or the space to download. ### 3/5 — Working on iOS5, screwed by Apple maps *2012-10-04, version 1.3.5* I have had this on an iPad 1 and iPad 3. Recently it has finally started showing the intermediate points and drawing lines between them. Sadly the lines are skewed on iOS6. The UI is non- intuitive and needs to remember what was typed originally. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2012-10-01, version 1.3.4* Don't bother! ### 1/5 — Don't work! *2012-09-03, version 1.3.4* Don't work for me. Just get two ip numbers with no reason at all. Traceroute on Mac works fine! ### 1/5 — Not free. *2012-08-04, version 1.3.4* It says free, but what you get are annoying animated ads that you have to pay $9.99 to remove. Even worse, you do not get an ad until you start a trace route. The developer disguised the price as an in app purchase so that "free" could be used in the app store. Promptly deleted. Avoid this app. ### 1/5 — What is this? *2012-07-22, version 1.3.4* Totally in accurate Wrong trace result Incorrect data Is this app for real? ### 3/5 — Getting there *2012-07-10* Not bad but not excellent either. Flaws include: - lower quality address database than alternatives - map is fixed rectangle so route from NZ to US goes wrong way around the world - scrolling/sizing the map loses the routes temporarily - odd routes at time - e.g. two separate routes with no join ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2024-06-07, version 2.0* put in any given domain to trace and it does nothing. ### 1/5 — App crashes on startup *2017-12-29, version 1.4* Launch the app , it crashes immediately:( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 2017 *2017-11-16, version 1.4* It’s not launching again. Appears to not be well maintained. ### 1/5 — Not working. *2017-10-13, version 1.4* Not working. And it charged me. Now must Call to Apple!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-09-19, version 1.4* It always stopped after the first hop, regardless of how long I waited, and the App Support icon in the App Store doesn't connect. No in app support. So it's useless and unsupported. ### 1/5 — JUNK *2016-10-04, version 1.4* This app should be removed from the App Store it's of no use to anyone. Come on Apple the developers have no interest in it, no updates in almost 3 years. Really Apple how about cleaning up the junk you just let sit around, the apps that ruin our phones if we download them. Get rid of them for god sake, all the money you've made off of this App Store how about showing some respect to us and getting the junk like this and many others out of here. Get it together Apple and clean your house. 10/4/2016 ### 1/5 — Not work *2016-03-15, version 1.4* Not work... ### 1/5 — Not working any more! *2015-04-06, version 1.4* Free version worked for a few days! Stops after 1 trace! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2015-02-19, version 1.4* Don't waste your time ### 1/5 — No longer works *2014-01-25, version 1.4* It's not that the trace times out; it never gets started. Retina iPad; latest OS. App used to work. Deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-02-25, version 1.4* Illustrates beautifully the jumps data will need to make to reach its destination. ### 5/5 — Great! *2015-07-12, version 1.4* I was looking for a traceroute, this is a visual traceroute, with text data available too. It's not often an app exceeds expectations, but this one does! ### 5/5 — Nice *2014-04-28, version 1.4* Nice and thanks! ### 5/5 — Works on all my devices *2013-11-13, version 1.3.5* Not really sure why so many people are poo pooing this app...it works fine-has a nice geomap to see routes. works good for me! I have tried it on iPod touch iPhone 3GS, 4,4S,5s, iPad 1&2 and no problems. ### 5/5 — Works *2012-12-22, version 1.3.5* It is simple and works as advertised. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-06-02, version 1.3.4* This is an awesome app. Was only looking to track specific ip addresses but this goes a step further. ### 5/5 — Nice *2012-04-29, version 1.3.4* Very handy. Works great for me. ### 5/5 — works great! *2012-04-25, version 1.3.4* Cool little app. Give latency info for hops as well. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool *2011-07-29, version 1.3.3* Thanks for the excellent app!
