Features & Capabilities

NSLookup is an internet utility to get domain's DNS information. It will help you to find the target IP address of a domain or see what name servers are set on a specific domain.

User Reviews

Many users praise NSLookup for its clear UI and usefulness for testing internal DNS or targeting a specific server, especially on iPad. However, recurring problems include crashes after upgrading to Pro or removing ads, and a core limitation: it tends to ignore the device's VPN/local DNS settings in favor of public DNS (like 8.8.8.8). Reliability is inconsistent; some users report it works briefly then fails to start. Feature gaps cited include lack of result copying, saving server lists, and flexible server selection. Overall, useful but unstable and limited for testing private networks.
Pros
  • Easy to understand with a pleasant, clean UI.
  • Effective for diagnosing internal/private DNS when you can point it at a specific server.
  • Allows querying a specific server and behaves as advertised on iPad.
  • A quick, useful nslookup tool for basic checks.
Cons
  • Crashes on startup or after upgrading to Pro; instability makes it unusable.
  • Ignores the device's VPN/local DNS settings and defaults to public DNS like 8.8.8.8.
  • Reliability is inconsistent; it works briefly for some users and then fails to start.
  • Lacks convenient features such as copying results, saving server lists, and easier server selection.
