## Review summary

Net Scan is praised for being easy to use and quickly listing IPs on the local network, and for a labeling feature that helps tag devices. However, reviews repeatedly cite major downsides: MAC addresses are often missing or incomplete, labels do not persist across scans or app restarts, and device details are limited beyond IPs. Stability issues on Android 12 and update-related crashes are also reported, along with missed devices. Improvements in MAC display, label persistence, and Android compatibility would greatly boost its usefulness.

### Pros

- Easy to use with a simple interface
- Effectively identifies connected IPs on the local network
- Labeling feature helps tag devices for easy spotting

### Cons

- MAC addresses are missing or incomplete
- Labels do not persist across scans or app restarts
- Shows only IPs with limited device details
- Stability issues on Android 12 / update-related crashes
- Missed devices / reliability concerns
