ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Magical Finder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Analyzer has 267 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Magical Finder's written reviews are positive against 70% of Network Analyzer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Magical Finder ships an update every 9 months, Network Analyzer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
