Your game lags but the speed test says 300 Mbps. Your call breaks up while a download runs fine. Your VPN connects on one network and refuses on another. NetDiag+ shows where the problem is: your Wi-Fi, your router or your provider. 31 network tools on your iPhone, running on raw BSD sockets — no jailbreak, no desktop. START HERE • Health Score — one run of about 40 seconds gives a score from 0 to 100 and a verdict for your Wi-Fi, your router and your provider. One reminder can bring you back at the other end of the day, and a home-screen widget shows your last score. • Report for your provider — two or more Health Score checks in one text or PDF document (in English): day or evening, which link was flagged each time, and the numbers from every check. Something concrete to send instead of "my internet is slow". • Latency Dashboard — game regions and CDN edges, plus local carriers for the Gulf, Turkey, Russia and Egypt, sorted worst-first with median, jitter and loss. Your router is checked first, so a problem at home is not mistaken for a slow server. • Bufferbloat — loads your line while pinging your router and the internet, grades the result from A+ to F and shows where the queue builds up: at home or at your provider. If the test server is throttled, it says so instead of guessing a grade. DIAGNOSE • Ping & Traceroute — classic reach tests, with your own interval and packet size • MTR — continuous traceroute with per-hop loss and RTT, probed in parallel • Path MTU Discovery — finds the right MTU for your VPN or tunnel: the largest packet that really gets through, in about 30 seconds • Speed Test — download and upload bandwidth • Site Reach — TCP and TLS audit of 35 popular sites, detects SNI blocks • HTTP/3 Tester — a real QUIC handshake, not a header • Host Monitor — alerts when a server goes down DNS, DOMAINS & SECURITY • NSLookup — any DNS record type • Encrypted DNS — DoH and DoT across Cloudflare, Google, Quad9 and NextDNS, compared • Whois — registration data with parsed fields • SSL Checker — certificate chain and expiry dates • TLS Inspector — which TLS versions and ciphers a server accepts • BGP Info — AS, peers and announced prefixes for any IP • Reverse DNS — the name behind an IP address • HTTP Headers — every response header and the whole redirect chain LOCAL NETWORK • Wi-Fi Info — SSID, signal strength, IP details • LAN Scanner — every device answering on your subnet, with Wake-on-LAN • Bonjour Browser — AirPlay receivers, printers, Chromecasts, HomeKit • Port Scanner — open ports on a host • STUN / NAT — public IP and NAT type for VoIP, gaming and peer-to-peer • VPN Check — whether a VPN is active, your public IP and NAT type, and whether your DNS answers match an encrypted resolver • IPv6 Check — connectivity, NAT64 / DNS64, v4 against v6 UTILITIES • Subnet Calculator, IP Geolocation • Network Passport — a shareable summary of the connection • History — every diagnostic you have run EVERY RESULT EXPORTS AS TEXT OR PDF Text pastes into a support ticket or forum thread; a PDF attaches to a mail to your provider. 13 languages, Arabic with full right-to-left support. In-app help on every tool explains how to read the result. Made for network engineers, sysadmins, gamers and anyone who has ever argued with their ISP. No account. No subscription. Results stay on your iPhone unless you share them. The app shows ads and collects usage analytics, like which tools you open, not what they measured. A one-time purchase removes ads.
TV Remote for Google & Android
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a remote for your Google TV television or streaming box. It works over your Wi-Fi network rather than infrared, so you never have to point it at anything, and it keeps working from the other side of the room. WHAT YOU GET • A full directional pad, with a large centre key that is easy to hit without looking • Volume, channel, mute, back, home and power • Play, pause, rewind and fast forward • Your phone's keyboard, instead of hunting letters one at a time with arrow keys • Voice search — speak it rather than type it • One-tap shortcuts to Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video and Disney+ • Rename your televisions to whatever you actually call them TYPING, FINALLY Searching on a television means walking a cursor around an on-screen keyboard one letter at a time. When your set asks for text, this app opens your phone's keyboard and the words appear on the television as you type. Dictate instead if you would rather. ONLY THE BUTTONS THAT WORK The app asks your television what it can do and draws only that. You will not find a button here that quietly does nothing. PAIRING, ONCE Your television shows a six-character code and you type it in. That happens once, and is remembered. WHICH DEVICES Google TV devices — most televisions from Sony, Philips, TCL and Hisense, plus NVIDIA SHIELD and Chromecast with Google TV. Your television and your iPhone have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. On a small number of sets the manufacturer ships with the remote service switched off. If yours is not found, that is usually why, and it is not something an app can change. PRIVACY The app asks for permission to find devices on your local network. That is how it finds your television, and the only thing it is used for. Commands go straight from your device to your television over your own network — nothing is sent to us, because there is no server to send it to. FREE, WITH ADVERTS The app is free and paid for by advertising. Adverts never sit next to the controls and never interrupt you mid-press. In Europe and the UK you are asked before any advert is requested, and you can change your answer at any time in Settings. If you would rather not see them, Settings can turn the adverts off: monthly, every three months, yearly, or once and for good. That is all it does — every button and every feature is in the free version and stays there. A subscription is charged to your Apple ID and renews until cancelled, which you can do any time in your Apple ID settings. The one-off does not renew. Google TV and Chromecast are trademarks of Google LLC. This app is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google. Netflix, YouTube and other services are named only to identify the applications this remote can open on your television. — Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tonuidavies.github.io/atv-remote-legal/
