About

IP Inbound

This app assists pilots in achieving precise time-on-target for critical flight maneuvers. It calculates optimal run-in speeds and provides guidance for maintaining exact arrival times at designated locations, crucial for coordinated events or performance evaluations.

Highlights
  • Precise target coordinate entry
  • IP bearing and distance selection
  • Desired ground speed input
  • Time on target (TOT) calculation
  • Pre-IP lateral guidance
  • Post-IP lateral guidance
  • Automatic turning time inclusion

IP Inbound is an application that helps pilots fly an IP-to-target run to an accurate time on target. This application is useful for formation demo pilots, or pilots who participate in simulated tactical events, and need to be over a target at a precise time. THE PROBLEM Maybe you are lead of a formation flight over a ceremony and you have specific time on target (TOT), or you are being tested on your ability to put a flour bomb on a mock target at a precise moment. In either case, you are likely given three pieces of information: 1. Your target location 2. A desired time on target 3. An initial point (IP) or run-in direction Your job is to select a run-in speed, and plan your arrival over the IP so that you arrive over the target at TOT. For flights that must coordinate with a band or pyrotechnics display on the ground, or for aircraft that are being tested on their timing, seconds matter. THE SOLUTION This iOS application allows you to select or enter a precise target coordinate, choose an IP bearing and distance, and a desired ground speed, and then enter your TOT. It then provides you with useful information during each phase of your flight: ON THE GROUND, it shows you a countdown to your TOT for takeoff planning. AIRBORNE, PRE-IP it provides you with lateral guidance to the IP, and a countdown for when you must exit the IP to make your TOT. It will also automatically provide you with direct-to-target guidance if it calculates that you must skip your IP in order to make your TOT. AIRBORNE, POST-IP it provides you with lateral guidance for the IP-to-target run, and tells you to speed up or slow down to meet your TOT. The app automatically includes turning time in its calculations: For example, if you are running very early and opt to make a 360 or an S-turn during the IP-to-target run, it will include the time needed to complete the turn in its estimated-time-of-arrival (ETA) calculations, and airspeed guidance.

About

NetProbeX

Read full description

NetProbeX shows you what's actually on your network — not just that a device exists, but what it's running and what it's exposing. WHY NETPROBEX Most network scanners tell you "a device is here" and stop. NetProbeX goes further: tap any open port and see the exact raw data the service sends back, in hex and ASCII, just like a professional network tool. No other consumer scanner shows you this. Everything runs on your device. There's no account to create, no cloud backend, and nothing about your network is ever sent anywhere except the one optional, manual public-IP check you can trigger yourself. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Discover every device on your Wi-Fi — routers, phones, laptops, printers, smart speakers, cameras — with real names via mDNS/Bonjour, not just IP addresses. • Raw Response Inspector — tap an open port and see the exact bytes the service returns. Copy it, export it, or send your own custom probe. • Hidden Camera Finder — scan for exposed RTSP/DVR camera ports, the kind hidden cameras and unsecured IP cameras commonly leave open. • Router Vulnerability Check — a read-only look at whether your router has UPnP, NAT-PMP, or Telnet left open, the three most common home-router misconfigurations. • Real diagnostics — actual ICMP ping and traceroute (not an approximation), DNS lookup, and an internet speed test. • Wake on LAN — save a device's MAC once and wake a sleeping PC or NAS on demand. • Rename, label, and hide devices — keep notes on a busy network so you can identify the culprit fast if something causes a slowdown or an IP conflict. • Save scans and revisit them anytime. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO Apple restricts what any app — including NetProbeX — can see about other devices' real hardware (MAC) addresses, as a privacy protection. NetProbeX respects this rather than trying to work around it: device identification relies on network behavior, hostnames, and mDNS names, which is what makes NetProbeX reliable where other scanners overpromise. Built for anyone who's ever wondered "what is that device on my network?" — from home users curious about their smart devices to IT-minded people managing a busy office Wi-Fi.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: IP Inbound at none against NetProbeX's shown. NetProbeX's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
