## Review summary

iNet is praised for being highly functional with strong device discovery and a clean UI, plus good Apple ecosystem integration. Recurrent drawbacks include loss of MAC address visibility due to iOS restrictions, paywall gating of features, and the requirement for location permission to scan LAN. Some reviews also cite marketing misrepresentation and competition offering more free capabilities. Overall, core scanning remains solid, but ongoing price and policy changes limit usefulness for some users.

### Pros

- Highly functional and dependable network scanner; simple and efficient to configure and use.
- Strong device discovery and network visibility; helps find and manage all devices on the network, including rogue devices.
- Clean, easy-to-use UI with a straightforward workflow.
- Good integration with the Apple ecosystem across iPhone/iPad and other Apple devices.
- Pro version adds value with expanded capabilities and is trusted by users for more advanced features.

### Cons

- MAC addresses are no longer shown due to iOS restrictions (despite screenshots implying they’re available), reducing the app's usefulness.
- Key features are behind a pro/paywall; the free version is limited or becomes useless, leading to frustration.
- LAN scanning on iOS requires location permission, which some users view as a privacy/friction issue.
- Some users feel the marketing/representations overstate capabilities, given what’s actually accessible.
- Free port scans and device renaming are noted as better or more affordable in competing apps.
