Slow Wi-Fi, lag in games, choppy video calls? PingInsight is more than a speed test โ it finds which part of the network is at fault and whose responsibility it is, then tells you in plain words what to do next. FULL DIAGNOSIS IN ONE TAP One button checks your connection, stability, route and speed (including latency under load). In about a minute you get a clear verdict: is there a problem, where is it, and what should you do. FIVE QUESTIONS, ANSWERED โข What connection you're on: Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G or Ethernet, detected live (Wi-Fi name shown with location permission) โข How fast it is: download and upload, plus latency under load with an AโF bufferbloat grade โข How stable it is: latency, jitter and packet loss, translated into expected video and voice call quality; switches to TCP automatically when a network blocks ping โข Where it breaks: hop-by-hop traceroute labeling each hop as your local network, your carrier, the international backbone or a cloud service โข Whose fault it is: recognizes the local carriers of the country you're in and estimates which segment is to blame HEALTH SUMMARY & HISTORY A one-tap check turns connection quality into a 0โ100 health score and grade, and keeps your history and score trend. PRO (one-time purchase, unlocked forever) โข Continuous MTR: probes every hop in parallel each round and tracks long-term per-hop loss and latency, for a responsibility verdict far more reliable than a single test โข Multi-target monitoring: ping your router, public DNS and the services you use at the same time to tell whether the problem is your home network, your carrier or the server on the other end โข Trends & time-of-day analysis: long-term latency, jitter, loss and speed trends, the worst times of your week, and a comparison of your home Wi-Fi, office Wi-Fi and cellular โข Export a responsibility report (PDF): verdict, advice and per-hop details, ready to file with your ISP โข Export a diagnosis report (PDF): the full diagnosis โ verdict, speed, stability and route โ in one document โข Export a multi-target report (PDF): your router and every target side by side, showing where the problem is โข Export health history as CSV: opens straight in Excel, with local times, grades and remarks The screen stays on while monitoring. Switch to another app and come back, and monitoring resumes automatically, with paused periods marked in results and reports. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no ad or analytics SDKs. Path analysis sends only public IPs to ipinfo.io to look up network ownership; private IPs are classified on-device, and your health history stays on your device. Available in 17 languages, switchable inside the app. Works on iPhone and iPad. Note: Cellular details such as signal strength, band and SA/NSA aren't available to third-party apps on iOS, and iOS doesn't allow continuous measurement in the background.
Glint

Is someone watching? A hidden camera in a rental or a hotel room is small, cheap, and easy to miss. Glint gives you four ways to look โ and tells you plainly what each one can and can't see. FREE, AND COMPLETE The network scan is free forever, and the results are never blurred or held back. Glint lists every device sharing your Wi-Fi and says in plain words what each one probably is: a router, a printer, an Apple TV โ or something that matches a known camera manufacturer. Most apps in this category show you a scary number and charge you to see what's behind it. We don't. The live magnetic sweep is free too. WHAT GLINT PRO ADDS โข Infrared detector โ spots the IR LEDs a night-vision camera gives off in a dark room โข Lens glint finder โ catches the reflection a lens throws back at your torch โข Guided room sweep โ ten places, in the order cameras are actually found: smoke detectors, alarm clocks, USB chargers, air vents, the two-way mirror test โข Saved reports โ a record of every room you've checked NO LOCATION. NO SERVER. Glint never asks for your location โ it doesn't need it. Everything runs on your iPhone: the camera feed is analysed frame by frame in memory and never recorded, the network scan never leaves your local network, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. There is no server to leak. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS No app can prove a room is clean, and any app that says otherwise is selling you something. A network scan can't see a camera recording to an SD card. Infrared works in the dark, not in daylight. Glint tells you this at the end of every sweep, because a false sense of safety is worse than none. Glint Pro is a one-time purchase โ pay once and keep every tool, on every device you sign in with. There is no subscription and nothing to cancel.
