Start with this device. NetSward helps you understand your connection and choose a useful next step on iPhone and iPad. See your current Wi-Fi identity when iOS permits it, connection path and gateway evidence, bounded DNS checks, and public interfaces. Run user-selected DNS, TCP, and TLS checks, discover Bonjour services, review history, map survey checkpoints, and create reports with redaction options. When iOS does not expose a value, NetSward labels it unavailable. Choose Guided for symptom-based help or Workbench for direct access to tools. Search and pin tools, replay recorded incidents, compare matching measurements, and inspect bounded HTTPS resource timings. Pair a Mac only when you choose. With full network evidence sharing enabled on your Mac, explore its nearby networks and channel analysis on your iPhone or iPad. Mac evidence remains separately labeled with capture and receive times. Location, Local Network, and camera access are requested for their related features. Mac pairing and sensitive sharing remain under your control. NetSward Pro is an optional one-time purchase that adds richer local history, named surveys, HTTPS metrics, multi-source exports, and advanced Shortcuts. Restore Pro on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple Account. Each device verifies its own entitlement. Local application-speed tests require Pro on both devices, a trusted Mac, and a temporary Mac allowance. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
