## Review summary

The app is a long-standing, capable network tool with subnet-wide port scanning, device discovery, Wake-on-LAN, and real-time hop data, valued by many users. Common negatives center on UI readability, stability issues, and missing features (IPv6 input, multiple custom port lists, MAC/host-name editing). Some reviews question feature accuracy versus descriptions and seek cross-platform support (Mac) and better layout (landscape mode). Overall sentiment is strong but with notable usability and feature-gap concerns.

### Pros

- Reliable network discovery and port scanning across devices and subnets
- Wake-on-LAN support that reliably boots devices from iPhone
- Ability to scan entire IP ranges/subnets (not just single hosts)
- Real-time hop measurement/traceroute-like visibility
- Strong overall value with positive long-term user feedback and good updates (including iPad support)

### Cons

- UI/UX readability and usability issues (small fonts, hard-to-read color schemes)
- Stability problems like freezes and scans failing, plus messages claiming not connected to WiFi
- Feature gaps such as IPv6 input support, multiple customizable port lists, and visible MAC addresses/host-name editing
- Occasional concerns about overpromising or mismatches between described features and actual functionality
- Requests for cross‑platform presence (Mac) and landscape mode enhancements
