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.

Simple Subnet Calc holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Simple Subnet Calc's written reviews are positive against 71% of IP Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple Subnet Calc ships an update every 6 months, IP Tools monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
