Review summary

Multiple reviews agree PingPlotter iOS remains a highly useful tool for quick network troubleshooting and cross-platform workflow, especially as a mobile complement to the desktop app. However, repeated concerns center on stability and UI quality: crashes (on startup or after updates), disappearing buttons and scaling issues on iOS, and other UI quirks. Reviewers also cite missing desktop-like features (advanced ping settings, background operation, cloud/Discovery features) and changes to essential readouts (packet loss display) that lessen usefulness. Overall, core utility is clear, but reliability and parity with desktop need work.

Pros

Extremely useful for diagnosing and troubleshooting network issues; repeatedly described as invaluable and a gold standard.
Strong cross‑platform value with the desktop PingPlotter, extending diagnostics to mobile.
Great quick-test tool with clear visibility that helps resolve issues on the go.
Convenient and accessible mobile option that users appreciate as part of their toolkit.

Cons

Stability and crashes reported across multiple reviews (crashes on startup/after updates and during use).
UI/UX issues and scaling problems (UI bugs on iOS 16, disappearing buttons, and graph/layout scaling on various devices).
Feature gaps vs desktop (limited ping settings such as interval, inability to set new traces, missing cloud/network discovery features).
Display/readout changes reduce usefulness (packet loss column removed or hard to read; essential metrics less visible).
Background operation limitations (app stops or fails to run in background, issues with screensaver and app switching).
