N.B. - Cellular data monitor is available only on iPhone or iPad with Cellular. - Due to an operating system limitation, LAN Scanner can only show the MAC address of detected devices on iOS 27 and later. Hostname resolution is only available when the LAN gateway is used as the DNS server. - Widgets are updated only at scheduled intervals (e.g. every 5 minutes), so they can show outdated info. Open the app to get info updated in real time. - Data usage widget, full featured network state widgets and lock screen widgets are available only with the Pro upgrade
