IP Scanner App Reviews

if you have Mac running virtual machines…….. do to limitations of the free version to 6 devices……. you can see only your own computer…. due to virtual interfaces. So you are blind about efficiency of the reel version. The principe of free version is too offer something useful, in this case it pollutes only your computer. A test version should be more relevant with time limitation.

Dont work anymore since last update

The software is very usefull but many time crash for any reasons.

doesn’t work anymore since its last update… shame, it was a really useful app

Avoid. This is only a demo and can not realisticaally be used. I was often presented with a begging dialog asking for payment to a full version. Shame. Deleted.

I use the IP Scanner in a very simple way - just to idetifiy and recognize devices in the network. I never tried more. I assume the IP-Scanner has much more capabilities. For my purpose it is a fantastic and reliable tool!

as it should!

This version only shows 6 devices max - that makes ist pretty much useless. If you want to sell an app, tell me right away but don’t call it free and make it useless until I pay.

works: shows the ip addresses in the network. only suitable for small networks though. (6 devices)

Shows that there are apparantly 13 devices on my network but as this is "standard version" it only identifies the first 6 and leaves you intrigued to find out what the other 7 are. Im pretty sure my network is secure and I know the top six devices it i, I use them all the time. If there really were another 7 computers on my network surely some of them would have shown up in the top 6. Sounds like a rouse to pretend there are more computers on your network so that you will buy the pro version to see what they are.

Just shows you 6 devices and tries to upsell you to the Pro version for $30. Just somewhat useful, but feel a little sucked in. With all the wireless devices available in a home setting, even a free bee should show us more than this.

Agreed, only 6 devices with all the wireless devices I do have, its not useful at all. Even my TV is on my home network! Heres a better business model: 0.99$ for home use and 30$ for corporate use. Ill bet you that you will find 30 happy customers faster then you think. If I see a nice price change, I will change my rating.

Works great. Showed my 2 laptops, iPad and airport. Just one thing if the lid is down on the laptop or the ipad is off it does not show up on the scan I have a secure network :)

All this shows is my: Router (pointless since I kinda thought I had a wireless router because Im using it) 4 Apple computers that do not exist (IPs are 11-13 + 15) My Computer (pointless also since Im using this computer) 3 "standard version - only displaying first 6 devices) This app is completly pointless unless you didnt know that you are using a computer, thats connected to the internet and that there are invisible computers all over you house.

Not too useful and limited to 6 devices. Should point that out on the download site. Did not identify some of the devices that it did find.

Would be nice if it told you that up front instead of tricking you into trying out a demo version.

Shows you the first 6 results. Hides the rest from you. Don’t waste your time.

It was good, but now limits the number of devices to 6?

Please be up front, first line in description, that only 6 devices are returned unless you buy PRO.

I launched this app while using the Network Monitor “Little Snitch” and took care to forbid it ALL access to the Internet. Even though, Little Snitch caught it immediately receiving an incoming connection from the IP address 80.71.193.60 which is a Finnish server. This weirdly intrusive behaviour is highly suspicious and is of course not documented anywhere. Knowing this I cannot possibly recommend the app for anyone unless they are fine with their machine being surreptisiously accessed from the outside. It does not matter whether the app does its other jobs correctly as long as it maintains this deceiving practice.
