5.0 out of 5 stars Handy and relatively complete
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013

Although I am a retired IT professional I still use technical utilities and this one is handy for troubleshooting network problems that friends are always asking me to do. If I had to compare this app to those I used in the past I would say that it holds its own against Ipswitch's WS_PING that was my constand companion.

I use this to mainly ping connections to see of they are alive, as well as use those statistics and the time and hop information from traceroute to spot problems. Most of the time it's a weak signal or damaged cable, but sometimes it's obstructions to signal strength in the case of WiFi.

This is not a cure all application, and it does require some technical knowledge. But of you have a basic understanding of networks you can accomplish some quick troubleshooting that will point you in the direction of what you need to check to find root causes.

Since this works on my phone (in my case it's a Samsung Galaxy Note II running Jellybean 4.1.2) it's always handy. In the past I needed my laptop to perform the same tests I can do right from my phone.

The product description says it will integrate with and launch application layer protocols like ftp and telnet - and it will. You do need to have those installed though because they are not bundled.

One other useful function this app provides is to map a network. I was surprised to see a device called Azurewave Technologies show up on my network. A little sleuthing and it turned out to be my  Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player .

Bottom line: this is very useful for first level network troubleshooting. I find myself using it more often than I anticipated and, frankly, every tech should have this installed on his or her Android phone or tablet - or both.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful tool - info links for FingBox not working
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016

This app works very well for looking at what's on your local area network. If you have a wi-fi network at home, you really should take a look at it frequently and see if there are any unidentified devices connected to your network. If you use DHCP and some of the devices occasionally get new IP addresses (e.g. a Raspberry PI-type device or other Internet of Things (IoT) device that you frequently move to a new location and/or reboot, it is also useful to figure out what the IP for the devices are so you can connect to them, check for open ports and services on an IP, etc. There is also a place to enter notes about the network, a quick display of the gateways and DNS servers for the network, an estimate of your uplink speed, etc. You can also do DNS / Reverse DNS, TCP scans, Ping and Traceroute on remote IP address or host names.

OK, so I didn't realize it wouldn't work for IOS, but I used my kindle and it worked great. I guess not all cheapo electronics devices embed their name like they should, but it did id some stuff I'd been wondering about. I wish this was built into my router.

1.0 out of 5 stars This program is hard to use and obfuscatory.

I have worked on computer networking since before the internet...back when a high speed line was 9600bps and home modems were typically 300 bps. i have used diagnostic hardware and software that was between free and 20k/copy.

I grabbed this because i wanted a way to traceroute to an off net device. this is a task that is so simple that any windows box can do it.

Hmm. You can traceroute to a device that is directly attached to the network you are on, but, while you can define a network that is not attached, you can't define a single device.

And you can only trace to devices. Not networks.

So you can't use this program for useful traceroutes, just useless ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anybody with wifi should have this app! An amazing amount of data about your wifi network
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2012
Verified Purchase
When the developer says network tools, they aren't joking.

Let's see...a wifi network list, a ping scanner, a port scanner, MAC address lookups, NetBIOS/SMB hostnames, ping hosts, traceroutes, wake-on-lan ability, DNS lookup tool, Reverse DNS lookup tool and the ability to backup and restore wifi network data to SD cards.

All that and it's free too!

In practical terms, you can see all of the devices on your local network. You can see their IP addresses, their hostnames, their MAC addresses, and the vendor of their network cards.

Unknown devices can be pinged and port-scanned to help identify them.

You can track when a device first appeared and when it was last seen.

The results of the various lookups, scans, and probes can be shared via Evernote, Facebook, Instant Message, Email, or Tweeted.

The more I dig into this app, the more features I find. It's just an amazingly useful app that should be included with every Kindle Fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant smartphone and tablet utility
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2013
Verified Purchase
I manage both my home network and the network in my small office. There are times I need to find the IP addresses of all of the devices on my network. For example:

- Periodically, my router loses its mind and remaps the IP addresses of the computers, printers, and other devices on my network. When users try to print, Windows can't find the printers because their IP addresses have changed.

- When installing new printers, sometimes the Windows print installer can't locate the printer, so I need to tell it the IP address of the printer.

There are various ways to find all of the devices on your network, and their IP addresses, but none I've found is easier than Fing. I have this utility on my iPhone, my iPad, and my Kindle Fire. In a matter of seconds, it scans the network and shows me the vital stats (IP address, MAC address, etc.) of every device. It's much more convenient than hunting for the addresses of devices. This is a really convenient utility -- one I use surprisingly often even for my tiny little home and small office networks. Great functionality, and amazing functionality for a free app.

This is a fantastic app for LAN network discovery.
The layout is fairly straightforward and easy to understand. Once connected to a wireless network it scans all connected devices and reports key networking information of all connected devices such as IP addresses, services running, port numbers, manufacturer, MAC addresses, etc,.
It will remember previously scanned networks and has the ability to report if certain nodes are up or down compared with the last scan. Other network tools are also available in this app such as ping and traceroute.
