User Reviews

Users appreciate the Pockethernet's device reliability and the app's user-friendly interface for network cable testing and identification, comparing well with expensive tools. However, multiple reviews highlight app stability problems such as crashes and hangs, lack of recent updates causing compatibility concerns, poor developer communication, and occasional connectivity issues between device and app. Despite these drawbacks, the tool remains valuable for network professionals needing a cost-effective and portable testing solution.

Pros

Reliable device functionality for cable testing and network identification.
User-friendly and intuitive app interface compared to traditional testing devices.
Effective tool for network maintainers and administrators, saving time in port and VLAN identification.
Provides quick and cost-effective testing comparable to more expensive tools.
Reporting features available to document tests, though used less frequently.

Cons

App crashes or hangs during certain tests, requiring app restart or phone reboot.
Lack of regular app and firmware updates leading to compatibility issues with newer Android versions.
Poor company communication and apparent stagnation in software development.
Connectivity issues with the device disconnecting silently when phone screen turns off or due to Bluetooth problems.
Certain tests (like DHCP test) may hang without timing out, blocking further testing until app reinstall or timeout occurs.

i had to download this for my nscs class, i am going to do bad bad things now

Mi*****, 2024-12-13

I'm disappointed that the company seems to have gone moribund, but the unit I *bought* -- while they were looking moribund, FWIW -- works fine, took the .33 upgrade, and continues to do everything I ask it to. It's a bit crotchety, yes, when it can't pull a DHCP address as requested, but just killing the app has solved the problem the majority of times, I rarely even have to bounce the problem, much less my phone. Though sadly, when my Android 8 phone crashed, I find I can no longer reinstall.
