NetScanPro turns your iPhone or iPad into a professional-grade Wi-Fi network scanner. Discover what's on your network, identify what each device actually is, see which services are exposed, and understand what might be at risk — with all scanning and identification happening on your device. FEATURES Device Discovery - Finds devices on your local Wi-Fi network using four discovery methods working in parallel: TCP probing, Bonjour/mDNS, SSDP/UPnP, and ICMP ping - Shows IP and IPv6 addresses, MAC addresses where available, hostnames, and device categories - Works with Macs, PCs, smart TVs, printers, speakers, Fire TVs, Apple TVs, routers, smart-home and Matter devices, and more Device Identification - Identifies devices from Bonjour records, UPnP announcements, open-port patterns, and — for devices that broadcast one, such as AirPlay and Chromecast hardware — MAC vendor prefixes matched against the full IEEE manufacturer database, bundled offline - Reads the Bonjour service types printers, speakers, streaming devices and smart-home hubs use to announce themselves - Every identification carries a confidence level, so you can tell a confirmed match from a best guess - The device you're scanning from identifies itself - Devices that share nothing identifiable stay unlabeled rather than mislabeled - All identification happens on-device with no cloud lookup Port Scanning with Plain-Language Descriptions (Pro) - Tap any device to scan 27 common TCP ports - Identifies HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, SMB, IPP, RDP, VNC, and more - Tap any port to learn what it actually does — no networking degree required - Security guidance for sensitive ports explains real-world risks like WannaCry, credential exposure, and exposed cameras and printers, with severity tiers so you know what needs attention - Devices with a web port open get a one-tap link into Safari — the fastest way to identify something that won't tell you its name Network Security Summary (Pro) - Scan every device on your network at once and see all your security findings in one place - Findings grouped by service and ordered worst-first, so you can spot patterns across your whole network at a glance - Tap any finding to see exactly which devices are affected - Color-coded severity separates real risks from what's just worth knowing - See every device with a web port open in one place, with one tap to each Network-Aware Scanning - Each Wi-Fi network keeps its own separate device list - Switch between networks (home, work, anywhere) with a tap - Per-network scan history, device renaming, and PDF reports that open with a summary of what the scan found - Rename a device and the name sticks, even after your router hands its address to something else. When NetScanPro can't tell whether a device moved, it asks instead of guessing, and the answer can be undone for two weeks - Create networks manually and pin a scan to one, so two sites that look identical (same subnet, same gateway) stay separate Privacy First - Face ID or passcode locks the app — optional in Settings - All scanning happens on-device — nothing leaves your local network - No accounts, no analytics, no tracking SDKs - Your scan history stays on your phone Freemium - Free: unlimited device discovery, 3 network scans per day - Pro ($9.99 one-time): unlimited scans + port scanning on every device + network security summary + PDF report export + device renaming. No subscriptions. Built for home network administrators, IT professionals, security-conscious users, and anyone curious about what's on their Wi-Fi. The in-app help screen explains how device discovery works and which devices may not appear (some IoT and privacy-mode phones don't expose themselves to any iOS scanner).
