Works well, but becomes unresponsive when...
Life in Truth

The app works well, but hangs and none of the buttons work when I clear all the query results. Only way to get back to using again is to uninstall than reinstall.


Just what I needed

Love that you can pass in normal dig arguments


One bug, one flaw
redmatter

Bug: Despite the screen shot on the App Store, the app does not rotate to landscape view on my 10.5” iPad Pro. Flaw: The ability to compare different dns queries is extremely valuable (accomplished by scrolling in Terminal.app on Mac OS). This app, and many like it, refresh the screen between queries making comparisons impossible (unless you commit the entire screen contents to memory between queries). The app functions, thus two stars as a minimum but it could be so much better.
