Neural Object Detector vs DNS Client
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Neural Object Detector
This app allows users to detect and classify objects in images using machine learning models. It supports importing custom models and offers adjustable settings for camera resolution and computer vision algorithms. Processed data remains on-device for privacy.
- Object detection with YOLOv3
- Image classification with Resnet50
- Import custom Core ML models
- Adjustable camera and algorithm settings
- CPU-only mode for testing
- On-device processing for privacy

Neural Object Detector was designed to be used by both developers and people who are enthusiastic about Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Object Detection / Image Classification using the combination of both. Neural Object Detector, by default is bundled with YOLOv3 model, which is a neural network for fast object detection that detects 80 different classes of objects. In addition to that, the app allows the users to import any custom machine learning model designed for object detection or image classification, with a single tap, the downloaded model can be imported via the Files app import window which is available within the app by simply pressing the plus icon on the models view so users do not have to leave the app. The app, based on the model selected, draws a rounded rectangle over the detected objects, the annotated image can be rendered and saved to photos or shared if the user chooses to share it directly from the app. To meet every users needs a handful of settings for computer vision algorithm and camera resolution can be changed. Users have the option to enable CPU only mode, which helps test their models under that specific condition. In addition to Object Detection, Neural also supports Image Classification, by default, Neural is bundled with Resnet50 Image Classification Model. Core ML* models which are a type of "Pipeline" in the format of *.mlmodel is supported by this app for Object Detection. No other model format is supported as of now.

The machine learning aspects are all proceed on device so nothing leaves the device. No cloud services are involved. No private analytics services. If, a user decides to contact app support a handful of data will be complied into a log file and attached to the mail composer, these data include app version, app configuration, device model, battery info, device software version, CPU utilised my the app. If the user decided not share, they can simply delete it and continue with the composing the support mail. No data is that is individually identifiable is collected. https://hariharanm.com/

DNS Client is a fast, native way to run DNS lookups and debug Domain Name System queries — without the Terminal. Type a domain, pick a record type, and read a clean, human-readable response. It works like dig or nslookup, but with a proper interface. QUERY ANYTHING • All standard DNS record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, PTR, and more) • Reverse DNS lookups • Recursive queries, with full control over the request ANY RESOLVER, ANY PROTOCOL • DNS over UDP, DNS over HTTPS (DoH), and DNS over TLS (DoT) • Query public resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, OpenDNS…) or your own • Compare answers across resolvers to spot propagation differences Built for developers and network engineers who need answers fast.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Neural Object Detector at 100% against DNS Client's 64%. Neural Object Detector also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). DNS Client's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (146 vs 4). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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
Neural Object Detector costs $2.99 and DNS Client $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Neural Object Detector holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DNS Client has 146 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Neural Object Detector's written reviews are positive against 64% of DNS Client's.
Neural Object Detector ships an update every 4 months, DNS Client every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
