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 call

The clearest difference is price: IP Tools at Free against My IP Widget's $0.99. IP Tools also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 46%) and ratings volume (697 vs 3). My IP Widget's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My IP Widget 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 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of IP Tools's written reviews are positive against 46% of My IP Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IP Tools ships an update monthly, My IP Widget every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
