iNet Pro - Network Scanner Reviews

Migrated from SubnetInsight

This review is identical to the one I left regarding iNet for iPad, as there is no difference between them except with respect to device compatibility. — I’ve been an avid user of SubnetInsight since getting my first iOS device in 2011. However, given the changes made in iOS 11, it is completely unusable now. The developer has pulled it from the App Store and no replacement has been offered. iNet Pro is a decent substitute, but its developer should check out SubnetInsight on a pre-iOS 11 device and take some cues from it. Here are my qualms with the app, which is otherwise pretty good and functions as expected. 1) The price is a bit steep. That would not be so bad if iNet Pro was a universal app. As it stands, I ended up purchasing it twice for both my iPad and iPhone, basically raising its cost to $12.99. 2) I realize that the limitations of iOS 11 make certain features hard to implement, and that the ability to remember and customize each device’s name was scrapped because of this change. Nevertheless, many people have devices on their networks that are assigned static IP address, and an option to assign a specific name to them according to IP (not MAC address) would be quite useful. This is not extremely troublesome for me, as I run my own DNS servers, which iNet Pro uses to resolve IP addresses. However, it ignores name resolution when a device broadcasts its hostname over Bonjour or NetBios, which is annoying. 3) The ability to see offline devices would be appreciated, as I’d like to know when they were last online. SubnetInsight was capable of remembering wifi networks, as well as the hosts that were connected to them. In addition, it provided geolocation data for each access point. This is a feature I miss. Again, I realize that changes in iOS 11 make implementing this gracefully somewhat difficult, but an “advanced” toggle of sorts could be provided. 4) I wish iNet Pro would simply scan a device for open ports automatically when I tap on one. Or perhaps do so in the background after a network scan is completed. 5) The integration of WOL is nice, and allowed me to delete your other app, iNet WOL. Indeed, the special keyboard made entering addresses much less painful. However, syncing WOL data via iCloud would alleviate the need for me to enter this information on multiple devices. Overall, I do not regret the purchase and am a happy customer. I even decided to check out the macOS version, which is free from all of the issues mentioned in bullet #2 above. If you’re looking for network scanner, I think iNet Pro is the best currently available for iOS 11 devices.

No mac addresses

Well Apple went and took a fantastic app and crippled it in IOS 11. I use this app all the time for checking the status on the networks when I go to different facilities. The facilities were maped based on Mac addresses. i'm glad I didn't upgrade all my devices to 11.

I have been using iNetpro for several years. I'm still amazed at how useful it is. Still one of the best apps I ever bought. If you do any network configuration this is your first musy have. Extremely usefull tool. Simple to use, helps keep track and identify devices on your network. Can’t believe IOS11 reduces this app by 90%. A tradgedy.

No More for me - Blame Apple if you like

It doesn’t matter to the consumer who is at fault. Without MAC Addresses (and other stupid Apple restrictions, like WiFi coverage maps in a house, etc.), the time has come to move out of Apple’s tightly held proprietary world into the wide open world of Android. I’ve never jailbroken an iPhone to gain access to a utility that was obviously useful and appropriate to allow. Now I still won’t. Because I’ll have an an Android which allows reasonable things as part of its operating system. Goodbye iNet Pro. Goodbye Apple. p.s. iNet - Apple’s abuse of its App writers borders on criminal. To just ruin someone’s business without a care !!! I think the App writers should unionize and force decent, negotiated treatment from Apple - too big for their britches.

Was a very useful until Ios11

Was very useful for trouble shooting network issues until iOS 11 crippled the app by limiting its access it network information. Too bad! Hope Apple allows more access but security is important too.

Compatibility issues.

You need to update the vendor detection! This ain’t a free version, I’m paying for a working app and I demand it as well.
