IP Widget is a powerful and customizable Chrome extension that displays detailed information about your network connections, including WiFi, mobile, Ethernet, and more. It shows your local and external IP addresses, mobile carrier names, WiFi SSID, speed, channel, frequency, and mobile connection type (GPRS, EDGE, 4G, etc.).

Designed for efficiency and privacy, IP Widget operates with no ads and conserves battery by updating only on system changes without polling. Users can tailor the widget’s display with options for background, text size, color, and opacity. Additional features include notification area display, configurable tap actions, Bluetooth and USB tethering support, logging, lockscreen widget support, Geo-IP city and country display, IPv6 support, and multilingual support across many languages. Permissions ensure necessary access while maintaining user privacy.

User reviews

Users praise IP Widget for its comprehensive and customizable network info display, clean design, and helpful VPN monitoring. The developer's responsiveness is also appreciated. However, multiple reviews mention issues with widget updates, bugs on specific Android versions or devices, notification display problems, and occasional inaccurate data reporting. Additional feature requests and UI improvements are also noted. Overall, it is a valuable app with some device-specific and update-related issues.

Pros

Highly customizable widget displaying detailed network information such as internal/external IP addresses, WiFi SSID, and connection status.
Attractive and clean design with easy setup and configurable options.
Helpful for monitoring VPN connection status and network troubleshooting.
Responsive and supportive developer who addresses reported issues and maintains the app.
Free with no ads and works well across many devices and Android versions.

Cons

Issues with accurate updates of information, e.g., widget showing 'OFFLINE' when online or not updating IP addresses promptly.
Problems on certain devices or Android versions, such as Xiaomi with MIUI 13/Android 12 where external IP never changes or widget gets stuck on 'Loading...'.
Some bugs with notification overlays not clearing or stacking text, making them unreadable until reboot.
Inaccurate WiFi information like channel number showing 0 MHz or SSID not displaying after certain Android updates unless location service is enabled.
Lack of some requested features such as logging connection changes over time or compact display when both WiFi and mobile data are on simultaneously.

Great app/widget. 5☆ But. The Widget now reports OFFLINE while ONLINE. All permissions are granted inside the app. What shall I do to get it working again correctly?
