Service Browser vs Which WiFi

Explore and browse your local network. Search for Bonjour services like iTunes libraries, shared file systems, AirPlay speakers, Apple TVs, AirPrint printers, Apple Remote Desktops, Mac computers, AirPort and Time Capsule devices and so on... Service Browser is a very powerful tool for discover the available Bonjour (Zeroconf) capable devices on your home or office local network. ABOUT BONJOUR Bonjour is Apple's implementation of Zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf), a group of technologies that includes service discovery, address assignment, and hostname resolution. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records. Typical Bonjour services: • File sharing and Time Machine disk detection. • Printer sharing and AirPrint. • AirPlay audio (wireless speakers) and video streaming, screen mirroring (Apple TV). • iTunes Library sharing, pairing and remote controlling. • Home Sharing (iTunes, Apple TV), pairing and remote controlling. • Remote login to OSX computer (SSH, Telnet). • Screen sharing (VNC) and Apple Remote Desktop. • Optical disk sharing. • Apple AirPort family base station and status service. • Remote Apple Events. • Media streaming and controlling. CACHING iOS uses a cache of Multicast DNS records to prevent hosts from requesting information that has already been requested. For example, when one host requests, say, a list of LPR print spoolers, the list of printers comes back via multicast, so all local hosts see it. The next time a host needs a list of print spoolers, it already has the list in its cache and does not need to reissue the query. The Multicast DNS responder is responsible for maintaining the cache; application developers do not need to do anything to maintain it. SERVICE BROWSING • Search for available and currently running Bonjour services. • Analyze and describe Bonjour service name, type, protocol, port, IP addresses and other properties. • Show Bonjour host local name, domain name, MAC address (with vendor information), PING capability. 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. 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 information. • Long press on a cell to copy/print/send/open as/share the cell value. • Shake your device to refresh the information.

You are connected to Wi-Fi ... but, which Wi-Fi? See instantly which Wi-Fi you are connected to! Get notified when you connect, switch network or access point, or disconnect. See your Wi-Fi connection on your Lock Screen, your Home Screen, your Today View. or in StandBy. Distinguish between different access points serving the same Wi-Fi network. Assign individual names, colored icons, and sounds to your access points. See which Wi-Fi networks and which access points you were connected to. A small symbol in the top-right corner of your device shows that you are connected to Wi-Fi. But which Wi-Fi? You may slide down the top right corner of you screen and then long-press the Wi-Fi symbol to finally see the SSID of your Wi-Fi. Or you may look for the Settings app and open it. But you still don't know which access point. And your device does not tell you when you switch, connect, or disconnect. The Which WiFi app tells you, instantly. Which WiFi always tells you instantly about changes when the app is active (on the app's main page and through notifications) or running in the background (through notifications). To be fair, notifications may incur some delay when iOS stops the Which WiFi app while in the background. This may occur for example when your use memory-heavy apps. If you switch networks frequently, the widgets may hit iOS-imposed limitations and miss one or the other changes. You may notice both effects for a few days, but then iOS learns at what times or locations you actually look at Which WiFi's notifications and widgets. iOS also learns that the Which WiFi app is very frugal with power, memory, and computation consumption. After a while, background notifications and widgets get very reliable even in background mode. The Which WiFi app needs access to your location to work reliably. It stores such location information only on your device and on your personal iCloud account, where it consumes less than 0.02% of your free quota. It never sends such information to us or anybody else, because we know that location information is very critical for your privacy. This is also the reason why we finance the development of this app through a small upfront payment when you purchase the app, and why we refrain from financing it through advertisements. Any ad provider integrated in the app would also get access to your location information, and be tempted to abuse that information to track you.
