Net Tools ULTIMATE vs Linkalyst

Net Tools is a practical network diagnostics toolkit for iPhone and iPad. It helps you inspect connections, troubleshoot domains, test servers, and understand what is happening on the network you are using. The app is built for people who want clear answers without sending every diagnostic input to a remote service. Many checks run directly on device using iOS networking APIs, with plain-language results, useful timing details, and redacted export output where available. Use Net Tools to: - Check reachability with Ping, Trace Route, TCP Test, packet loss, jitter, IPv6, and path MTU diagnostics - Inspect DNS records, MX records, reverse DNS, DNSSEC evidence, DNS propagation, and email security configuration - Review HTTP status, redirects, headers, protocol negotiation, TLS certificates, SSH host keys, service banners, and WebSocket behavior - Explore local network details with LAN scan, Bonjour, UPnP/SSDP, NTP, Wake on LAN, MAC vendor lookup, and subnet calculations - Measure mobile-network quality, handovers, NAT64/464XLAT behavior, carrier DNS, VoIP readiness, and streaming readiness - Use advanced utilities such as TCP/UDP terminal, DNS tampering detection, STUN/TURN/ICE testing, TLS interception checks, JWT inspection, MQTT testing, Wi-Fi QR code generation, and diagnostic report export Net Tools keeps the interface compact and searchable, with tools grouped by category so you can get from a question to a result quickly. The terminal-inspired design stays readable, focused, and friendly to repeated use. For responsible testing, security and pentest-style tools are bounded and designed for systems you own or have permission to test. Some network environments, iOS privacy controls, carrier limitations, and local-network permissions may affect what can be inspected.

Ping with a live latency chart, query encrypted DNS (DoH and DoT), check TCP ports, see where an HTTPS request spends its time and trace every hop, on iPhone and iPad. Test results are saved as reports you can search and share. EVERYDAY CHECKS • Internet Speed Test: download and upload in one tap • Popular Services: how fast popular sites and services connect, ordered for your region • Discover: your gateway, Bonjour services and My Devices in one place • This Device: model, battery, storage and how this device connects • Share a Card: share a speed test, Popular Services or latency result as an image; five more styles with Plus MEASURE THE CONNECTION • Chart Ping (ICMP) probes live; up to six targets in one run and UDP probes with Plus • Typical latency (P50), slower requests (P95, P99), variation, timeout rate and longest timeout streak • Tap the chart to inspect a request and add notes as you test; timeouts are marked, never plotted as latency • Check a TCP port once or up to 50 times in a row SEE WHERE EVERY MILLISECOND GOES • Website Check sends five HEAD or GET requests in a row and can follow redirects hop by hop • Times DNS, TCP, TLS and time to first byte • Shows the HTTP protocol, TLS version, cipher suite and certificate chain, with expiry dates and SHA-256 fingerprints COMPARE DNS RESULTS • Query system DNS or choose UDP, TCP, DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) • Compare system DNS with up to four resolvers, each on its own protocol: fastest this round, record differences, response codes and failures (Plus) • Presets for Cloudflare, Google and DNSPod, or a custom endpoint • A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and PTR records, with TTLs • DoH and DoT apply to queries in Linkalyst; they don't change your device's DNS settings SCAN PORTS AND ORGANIZE DEVICES • Batch Scan in Port Check takes IPv4 lists or CIDR and known IPv6 addresses, with port presets or your own ranges: up to 256 addresses and 4,096 address/port pairs per run (Plus) • Discover scans your network and lists devices that answer, with names, services and open ports; on iOS 27 also hardware addresses and makers (Plus) • Keep targets, notes and related reports in My Devices, optionally grouped by network ROUTES, SPEED AND ADDRESSES • Route Trace for IPv4 and IPv6: up to 30 hops, 1 to 3 probes per hop, optional hop hostname lookup • See this device's addresses and gateway; turn on IP Lookup in Settings for your public IP, region, network organization and ASN (via FreeIPAPI) • Download Test for a URL you choose, up to 64 MiB or 10 seconds • Throughput Test for upload or download to a free test peer you run on your own computer • Offline IPv4/IPv6 Subnet Calculator KEEP THE RESULTS • Search, star and tag reports; share them as JSON, or request-level data as CSV (one export free, then Plus) • Compare two runs with latency curves overlaid; repeated port checks, website checks, download and throughput tests and route traces are paired by target (Plus) • Optional iCloud Drive report sync, off by default (Plus) BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD • Follow a running test on the Lock Screen and, on supported iPhones, in the Dynamic Island, where you can also stop it • On iPad, open the tools or a single report in its own window Use network tests only on systems you own or have permission to test. UDP latency and Throughput Test require a compatible test peer; instructions are linked in the app. Linkalyst is free to download, and its everyday tools are free. Items marked (Plus) need Linkalyst Plus, a one-time purchase that also removes all ads and supports Family Sharing.
