IP Tools by BigDataCloud is a practical toolkit for checking IP addresses, networks, and internet routing information from your iPhone. Look up IPv4 and IPv6 address details, inspect ASN information, browse announced prefixes, check connectivity, resolve DNS records, ping hosts, and view estimated IP geolocation with confidence areas on the map. IP Address History can track how your public address changes over time, including IPv4 and IPv6, so you can understand connection changes while you move between Wi-Fi, mobile data, VPN, and other network paths. IP Tools can also help BigDataCloud improve IP geolocation quality by submitting optional anonymous location signals. The app is designed to report network and location observations about IP addresses, not personal profile information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: IP Tools at 697 against UUID's 1. IP Tools also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 50%). UUID's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UUID holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Tools has 697 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of IP Tools's written reviews are positive against 50% of UUID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IP Tools ships an update monthly, UUID every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
