I ve been using this app for many years now but only about a handful of times each year as an alternative way to view what s going on with my network I can t honestly say when the ads were introduced but I can say that this app is not that intuitive or special that it deserves my money to rent its use to avoid the annoying ads I too join the ranks of those who have decided to uninstall for such reasons     Stephen Stalnaker

REPLY TO DEV It s not that I m dissatisfied with the progress of the updates and I don t want them for free but I object to paying for things in advance especially if I don t know whether I ll want or need them I question the wisdom of paying for promises before results A one off payment to ditch the ads is fair Charging an ongoing fee to do so is extortion ORIG The paid version is actually a subscription No outright purchase like others offer Too bad Hate ads so uninstalling     John Walker

so now this developer like far too many others has decided to spam users in the notifications area asking if they re happy with with their ISP Who knows what else they will spam with and there appears to be no way to disable it on the app yes I know I can disable the notification in Android but I shouldn t have to This is unacceptable If it continues the rating will drop to 1 star So wait even when not using your app we re going to get ads without paying NOPE Uninstalling             Brian Bergin

Was a great app until last update where it lost all my saved devices and put them as generic and does not recognize my NETWORK THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY PLEASE 6 FING contacted me regarding this issue and their recommendations worked Thanks a lot                     Karen McDonald

It wont save the customized name of the connected device 9 11 2019 UPDATE 9 21 2019 Thanks for the tip So now it needs location service ON for it to display customized device names Thank you                     Alex I.

Just like user rukis m reported this app now loses all previously saved devices when tapping refresh Way to go from 5 stars to only 1 Fix it please and don t release new versions without thoroughly testing with all recently released Android versions     Hieu Do

Recent update has screwed this fantastic app Everytime I refresh my wifi network it creates a separate network in my network list and shows the identified devices as generic Thumbs down     Nishank Gupta

Great app for general network monitoring A point of improvement would be to support other VLAN s and support for cellular with VPN connection A part from those things the app work as expected                 Mitchell Slot

Recent update sucks lost all my saved devices instead it shows all devices as generic and not to mention the annoying ads way to go to screw your app would not recommend     Ammar Sherazi

Older versions used to identify the network but current version stores everything under Unnamed Network And of course doesn t save whatever I edit             Atticus Maximus

Now constantly getting notifications of internet outages I ve already acknowledged the notification stop keep sending them Yet again if a notification has been acknowledged clear it     Craig Fews

Have used this app for several years and alway been stable and accurate Easy to use and solid features Installed on several Android devices without issues                     Phil Pierson

Was a nice app Got a push notification just a few minutes ago opened the app saw ads uninstalled Sorry I don t allow any ads in apps on my device     Marc Zimmermann

Best tool ever I have one question How can i get fing to scan my network when my Android phone is plugged into my phone docking station When i plug my phone into it s docking station it is then connected via the docking station LAN port Fing then give me an error not connected to network Is there a way around this without having to unplug my phone from the docking station to do a scan as it is also connected to a 24 lcd monitor while in the docking station                     Leon Botha

I noticed plenty of times that there are other connected devices that shows inactive on the list                 mj pz

its great I was looking for a new app since the Netgear app no longer allows me to label the devices on my network It only shows IP addresses they said to upgrade to their new app but that one doesn t support my router So this app has been great And FYI I would also pay for an ad free app It s great                 Eric Dobbins

Ads via notifications aren t cool The latest ad that came through at 2AM reminded me that there s few features of use that Fing has that WiFiMan doesn t so I ve permanently made the switch now             Luke Tubnor

Has this app been sold Spyware now Android 10 shows permissions that bother me Why would you need access to my physical activity Are you planning to add a step counter Location access im the background Access to my contacts This was a nice nerdy app to scan your network Now it seems to be rejiggered for mass appeal with weird descriptions claims and it s suffering from permission creep     Sander Raaymakers

Version 8 4 0 latest update all my device that s has been registered and renamed been Unknown after each time I refreshed please fix Dev Before this updated its all perfect             rukis m

Since Android 10 took away Mac addresses access the app isn t nearly as good as it used to be             Karl Carpenter

repeated prompts on the main screen to sign in are irritating no DNS lookup option ads are annoying         Matthew K

Cannot remove ads Ads are ugly on the interface     sam a

This app is very useful for keeping track of devices attached to your network                     Mitchell Carter

Just installed and I can really detect who s in my Wi Fi but I need clarification on pausing blocking a device Does pausing a device connection permanently blocks the device If it permanently blocks a device will the device blocked still be banned access even if I turn off my phone Wi Fi connection on my phone or force close the app It ll be nice if you can reply                 joe junior

Too bad for this app it had a good design Instead of forcing users to create an account to be able to use all apps features better create a Pro version for money so that we could by it without sharing any info to the developer     OneSoulAssassin

Pointless without a Fingbox My Fingbox got an orange ring of death Now the app no longer scans my network because it can t find the Fingbox And now it has ads So I bought a Fingbox that won t work I pay for Domotz Pro and I still have to stare at ads I m done Uninstalling     Robert Dunham

I can not find a better tool to monitor and assist in controlling l my home network It s surprising just how many devices you have that are connected to the Internet Using the hardware FingBox makes it even better                     live home

Very Simple To Use Still Toying With It Only If It Had BlueTooth Detection Feature Since I Keep Having Neighbors In My Apartment Building That Keep Connecting To My LG Soundplate Soundbar Because It Does Not Have A Password Protection Feature                     Jerry Carver

Instant you know how your wifi been used Very useful app                 Parry Tataria

The basic features of local network discovery is very useful to me It helps me debug setups It also lets me discover if a public wifi exposes me to other users                 Ed Averill

Very very helpful and resourceful and recomended believe that it works because life is about strategies and statistics and you either use them to your advantage or someone will take advantage of you a quote from a wise man that wasnt as wise as his eyes because looks can be decieving                     Javier Hernandez

Very good app its pretty handy But is used to be better before for example I used it a lot to scan remote other LAN subnets different from the one I was connected WIFI             Enver Fernandez

Almost perfect but has had quite many bugs                 Jani Tikkanen

This is a great app to be able to shut down a device that is hogging bandwidth when not in use AND to be able to see if people are using your wifi and aren t supposed to you can block them                     Greg Hamm

Fing is a handy dependable toobox It presents complex information in a clear and understandable form It s been around for quite a while It s proven itself                     S. Grose

Incredibly Useful All your IPs at a glance                     fxstnt 2003

Was better before they added the ads They say they will be releasing an ad free version but I have my doubts     Colin Howitt
