## Review summary

Users praise deep port scanning, Wi‑Fi device discovery, and a clean UI, and many cite a solid free version. However, reliability is a major concern, with repeated reports of inaccurate port results, IP misreporting, and limited hardware support (no Ethernet detection, MAC access blocks). Some reviews allege deceptive practices. Overall, strong capabilities on paper but real-world reliability and hardware compatibility issues limit usefulness.

### Pros

- Powerful, deep port scanning with tunable options for thorough network assessment.
- Strong Wi-Fi network scanning and device discovery.
- Well-designed, easy-to-use interface with a clean UI.
- Solid free version with useful features and favorable premium value.

### Cons

- Port scan results are frequently inaccurate or show no open ports despite known exposure.
- Limited hardware/network awareness: Ethernet detection is lacking and Android blocks MAC address access.
- Deceptive or manipulative behavior alleged by multiple reviews (result manipulation and blocking other apps).
- Performance issues during large scans or heavy analysis reported by some users.
