## Review summary

Ping is praised for its simple, easy interface and useful bookmarking of saved hosts, delivering reliable basic ping results without ads. However, it lacks a dark mode, has flaky persistence of saved favorites, uses coarse slider-based settings, and seems outdated. Additionally, DNS/IP resolution is incomplete for failed pings, and connectivity status can appear stale. Overall, it's handy for quick checks, but its polish and reliability gaps limit its appeal.

### Pros

- Simple and easy-to-use interface
- Bookmarking/saving hosts or IPs for quick access
- Ad-free, straightforward functionality
- Does exactly what it is supposed to do for basic ping tasks

### Cons

- No dark mode or themes
- Saved favorites disappear or are not persistent across resets
- Settings rely on coarse sliders, making precise values hard to set (e.g., packet size)
- Appears outdated/not updated for years
- DNS/IP resolution not shown for failed pings / inconsistent results
