Interface is clean and simple but what I like most is the contextual documentation that summarizes each category. The nicely worded explanations are informative and helpful.

Excellent app. Easy to use. No clutter. It checks your router's functionality thoroughly, and gives you an easy to assess security report, with excellent explanations and good suggestions for remediation

Last update in play store is 2019. When I open the app, it tells me a new version is available. I don't think so. Looks like time to dump this app. Sad...

Great service - was possibly ahead of it's time. I would rate it 5 stars if it had been updated, however based on the fact that it was last updated on 2019 I cannot rate it highly. As a security "tool" it should be aware that no updates in 2 years is in itself a vulnerability

Vuln Database needs to be updated. This service has so much more potential. It was good back in 2017-2018 but it hasn't been updated - UI wise as well as the database of Vuln. It was a fantastic 'check on the go' app for checking basic configurations of wireless AP when I first used it years ago. The threat db needs to be critically updated to check for rather much known exploits for wireless routers.

Every time I start this app a notification fills the screen telling me the version I have is outdated (0.92) & I need to download the latest version (0.93) but latest version not available in play store, nor can I find it on your official site. Been like this since I first installed Router Check 2 months ago. Plus the news storys on your site are years old. Are you even still in business? All of a sudden router Check "cannot determine" vulnerabilities or DNS info. I've contacted you 4 times now

My phone runs Android 10. Under 'App info', for RouterCheck, the 'Permissions' button is grayed out with 'No permissions requested' just below it and also grayed out. Did the app fail to acquire any permissions or did it succeed without my knowledge, or is there another explanation?

Incorrect advise about ICMP, I quote "Hackers have begun to use Ping when looking for home networks to attack, so it's recommended to turn it off on home routers if possible. [..] it's a worthwhile thing to do." Security through obscurity doesn't work, script kiddies will just try out the whole IPv4 range. Now you could say that doesn't count for IPv6, which is true - the whole IPv6 address space huge. But blocking ICMPv6 completely like recommended in the app will break IPv6 connectivity.
