Review summary

Review consensus portrays iNet Pro as a powerful, feature-rich network scanner with reliable Wake-on-LAN and straightforward device discovery. Users praise breadth of tools, ongoing updates, and value. Recurrent drawbacks include privacy concerns and mandatory location data, limited access to MAC addresses due to platform restrictions, lack of an iPad app, and a UI/dark mode experience that feels dated or inconsistent. Overall it’s a strong tool for network professionals, but privacy, platform scope, and UI considerations may affect adoption for some users.

Pros

All-in-one network scanner with device discovery and detailed network information.
Wake-on-LAN feature works reliably to wake devices remotely.
Regular updates and cross-platform Mac support, contributing to long-term viability.
Easy to identify devices and rename them; intuitive, user-friendly UI.
Good value for money given the feature set.

Cons

Privacy concerns and perceived data transmission to servers; questions about data handling.
Location permissions are required to scan, effectively making location data mandatory.
MAC addresses visibility is restricted by Apple, so MAC info is not accessible.
No iPad app support; lacks an iPad version.
UI and dark mode experience can feel dated or inconsistent across updates.

2026-03-18	Te*****	Very useful tool for network management… but would be better if after giving names to devices, it actually would remember them. No point in applying names that don’t stick!

2025-03-06	tt*****	I rescind this review and return to my 5-star rating. I use this app all of the time and I love it. The issue I describe below is due to legitimate supplemental queries that I will leave to the developer to describe. The developer is going to address the long delay when the an Internet connection is down. I thank them for their response. I suggest to the developer that, for what it may be worth, they hammer Apple about the support link. I would have used it except the actual link is so hard to see I decided that the only support was a help page which I deemed useless. Because of this I assumed my only option was to write a negative review. This is a great app! In this day of expanding IoT I find it indispensable for troubleshooting my home network. They are concerned about privacy and it is my bad to have implied otherwise. My rescinded previous review for reference: Until today I would give this app a 5 star rating. I love its functionality. I use it often. It is incredibly convenient and function-rich. However, today our Internet went down for an unknown reason. In diagnosing it I decided to do a LAN scan. It failed in iNet Pro. It hung. Why? Well almost certainly because it needs an Internet connection to run. (I tested this when the Internet came back up by manually disconnecting the WAN. It does!) Why would it need an Internet connection to run? Well it seems quite plausible that this is because it is pumping our private data to its servers. This is just barely tolerable with the free app but not the paid pro app. Further, it defeats the purpose of this app being a diagnostic tool if it fails to function diagnosing the LAN when the Internet is down! This is, to say the least, a huge failure even if it isn’t “stealing” our data! Now maybe I am being too hard here. This is possible. Maybe this is a bug and the issue is that it is trying to do a reverse DNS and on LAN IP addresses or something like that, that provides a secondary service which only the Internet can provide. Or maybe there is a configuration parameter that I haven’t yet found that turns such queries off. Even so, the app shouldn’t hang on whatever potentially legitimate Internet query it is performing to supplement its local scan. For as long as this app has been around it is hard to imagine that a bug like this wouldn’t have been caught. Doing a LAN scan when Internet connectivity issues arise seems like a pretty basic use of this app! It failing in this “crisis” we were experiencing is pretty bad! This app’s whole point is all about diagnosing network issues. iNet Pro crashed and burned in a crisis. I now mistrust this app! What info is it scurrying away.? Do I now have a research project trying to determine what it is accessing and why? I will for the moment continue using the app as it is so functional and likely the damage of exposure it has done has likely been done already. However I am going to start to do a deep dive into what it is up to and look for alternatives if I decide this app is essentially a Trojan horse. At this point all signs are pointing to it being a Trojan even if a legal Trojan. Keep in mind this app can pump your entire LAN map with info about every system on your LAN to who knows where? This may all be legal. It might all be in some legal text we agreed to by hitting an OK button along the way. This doesn’t diminish at all the possibility it is pumping one’s internal network data to servers somewhere in the cloud for who-knows-what reason. Huge red flag!!!!

2024-12-06	Ca*****	This is probably one of the first apps I bought and it is still regularly updated by the same developer. It’s as good as Apple will allow this type of app to be. Check out the Mac version as well, Apple restricts the Mac less so it is even more useful. But for an iPhone LAN scanner there isn’t a better one, and I’ve tried several but there’s no point in using another if you have this one.

2023-11-04	pi*****	It’s great to find a Wake on LAN app that outperforms five others I tried. This app stands out for its consistent ability to effectively wake up devices remotely. Its stability and user-friendly interface are definite strengths. In summary, it’s a reliable and efficient app that excels in its function.
