User Reviews

Users praise Discovery for its simple, clean UI and reliable Bonjour/zeroconf discovery, viewing per-service device info and using it as an indispensable, easy-to-use diagnostic tool for AirPrint, AirPlay, and other network services. It's free, fast, and supported by a responsive developer. Reported drawbacks include occasional bugs, limited in-app documentation, an older iOS7 requirement, and missing features like a search-by-address function.

After hours of troubleshooting why my home’s Thread network wasn’t working, this app told me what device was preventing it from resetting (it was a Roku). As long as you know what you’re looking for, this app is stupidly easy to figure out what’s going on with your network. Forever thankful for the Redditor that sent me here, I might actually learn how to read this now.
