User reviews
Pros
- Fast and effective network scanner for LAN devices.
- Provides useful information about connected devices, such as vendor details.
- Simple, straightforward user interface with no unnecessary features.
- Helpful for network security awareness and troubleshooting.
- Developer is responsive and knowledgeable.
Cons
- The app's port range selection interface is cumbersome, requiring scrolling through thousands of ports instead of direct input, leading to poor user experience.
- Host information and discovered data are not saved, limiting functionalities like Wake-On-LAN.
- Database lookups for OUI and IANA fail to update due to 404 errors, affecting accuracy.
- App crashes on some Android versions (e.g., Android 11) especially after updates.
- No option to scan Ethernet connections; limited to Wi-Fi only.
Recent reviews
probably the fastest scanner, but lacks the possibility to change the interface. E.g. if I want to scan a vpn

This app has been a cool resource for securing my home network and opening some eyes at various workplaces I've worked at. However very recently the OUI and IANA port database updates fail with a 404 message. The app still works well but you have to do your own homework now. Maybe Aaron can take a look?
