Everything you want to know about your AIRDROP CONNECTION but were afraid to ask. Direct Info is a small utility that lets you see detailed information about current AirDrop connection from interface config to network traffic to availability. AIRDROP CONNECTION INFO • Detect AirDrop usage requirements and limitations. • Low-level informations about the AirDrop interface, technical parameters, flags. • AirDrop traffic counters: upload, download, errors, quality of service (QoS) categories. AIRDROP SHARING SUPPORT • Detect supported iOS devices for sharing content. • Detect supported OSX based machines for sharing content. INTERNET INFO • Show default gateways, IP addresses, networks. • Show DNS servers, search domain names, local MAC addresses, host name resolve. • Depth external address analysis: ISP name, autonomous system name, whois, ping, regional internet registry info. • Full offline MAC vendor database. DEVICE INFO • Detect device type and model. • Detect processor type. • Detect memory size. • Detect storage size. • Detect firmware name, version. • Detect last reboot time. REACH UI FEATURES • Info menu with feedback and privacy settings • Use the camera icon (upper-right corner) to create and print/send/share a screenshot from the entire page. • Pull down with your finger to refresh the informations. • Long press on a cell to copy/print/send/open as/share the cell value. • Shake your device to refresh the informations.
SatRadio
This app provides essential tools for radio and satellite communication engineers. It includes calculators and analysis features for antenna parameters, frequency calculations, link budgets, and modem performance. It also offers miscellaneous utilities for RF engineering tasks.
- Dish antenna analysis (axial ratio, gain, line of sight)
- Frequency calculations (phase noise, doppler, wavelength)
- Radio link analysis (coaxial losses, mismatch losses, EIRP)
- Modem performance metrics (C/N, C/I, PER, BER)
- Miscellaneous RF engineering utilities (dB calculator, converters)

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SatRadio at Free against Direct Info's $2.99. Direct Info's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and chart position (#187 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
