Start with this device. NetSward turns the network evidence already available to your iPhone or iPad into clear next steps. See current Wi-Fi identity when iOS permits it, connection path and gateway evidence, bounded DNS checks, public interfaces, Bonjour discovery, user-entered DNS, TCP, and TLS checks, retained history, surveys, checkpoint maps, and reports with redaction options. Availability is labeled when iOS does not expose a capability; the app does not pretend that an unknown value is zero. Pair an optional Mac only when you choose. Mac evidence stays in its own source section with capture and receive times. Local Network, Location, and camera access are requested only for the related feature; pairing is disabled until you approve it. Choose Guided for symptom-based help or Workbench for direct expert access. Search and pin tools, replay recorded incidents, compare matching measurements, review survey checkpoints, and inspect bounded HTTPS resource timings. Optional local application-speed tests require Pro on both devices, a trusted Mac, and its temporary operator allowance. NetSward Pro is an optional one-time purchase. Pro adds richer local history, named surveys, HTTPS metrics, multi-source exports, and advanced Shortcuts. Pro is sold through the App Store and can be restored on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple Account. Each device verifies its own entitlement; an iPhone or iPad purchase never authorizes a Mac command.

About

Mobile sites hide things. Buttons that exist on a computer are missing, tables lose columns, and sometimes the content you came for simply is not there. Fullsite fixes that by making websites believe they are talking to a desktop computer. Most "request desktop site" features change one line — the user-agent string — and stop. That fools a server and nothing else: the page still renders through a narrow phone viewport, so every responsive stylesheet takes its mobile branch anyway, and the site still hides what it hides. Fullsite goes after the part that actually decides the layout. It forces a real desktop-width viewport, so the rules that hide content stop matching. It removes the touch interfaces that tell a page it is on a phone. It supplies the request headers a desktop browser sends. And it keeps all of that consistent, so nothing contradicts anything else. WHAT YOU GET • The desktop version of sites that would otherwise force you to mobile • A built-in ad and tracker blocker — over 130,000 rules, on by default • Any tab can be switched to mobile on its own, without changing the others • Tabs that survive being closed, with your place on the page kept • Swipe the address bar to change tabs; pinch out to see them all • Private tabs kept in their own strip, so you never swipe out of private browsing by accident • Bookmarks and history, and a page width you can set yourself • Pages that load faster, because the ads never download SITES ON YOUR OWN NETWORK An intranet page, a router, a NAS, something behind a VPN. Most browsers on a phone fail these silently and leave you with a blank screen. Fullsite tells you what actually went wrong — the name did not resolve, nothing answered on that port, the certificate is not one this device trusts — and does something about it. It will try plain HTTP for a machine on a private network, ask before accepting a certificate from a company's own authority, and remember only that exact certificate, listed in Settings where you can take it back. BUILT FOR SPEED Fullsite is a few megabytes. Blocking runs inside the system networking layer with no JavaScript per request, so pages get faster, not slower. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS No browser on iOS can be undetectable — Apple requires every browser to use the same web engine, and a determined site can still find signals. Fullsite closes the ones that decide your layout, which is what changes what you see. You can check any page yourself: "What do sites see?" shows exactly which signals are still reachable. FULLSITE PRO — REMOVE THE ADS Fullsite is free and supported by ads of its own. Fullsite Pro removes every one of them. • Fullsite Pro Monthly — 1 month, $1.99 • Fullsite Pro Yearly — 1 year, $9.99, with a 3-day free trial • Fullsite Pro Lifetime — one payment, $19.99, no subscription Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: NetSward at none against Fullsite's shown. NetSward also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Fullsite's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
