Fing - Network Scanner 4+

Everyone should have this

I am not an IT expert nor will I ever be. However this app can be valuable to the general population at the simplest level, and it grows with you as you do. But most importantly, it makes you aware of fundamental security, awareness, network basics, and general information about the network you use and the live information you obtain is useable right now. With an easy to follow quick intro guide provided, you off quickly armed with some basic understanding of what the app provides and how to perform various network and device scans. Its light turning the light on to see who is in your home. I have been using this app off/on for years and years and hope to expand my capabilities a bit, upgrade, and eventually purchase a fingbox to enhance my network performance. Too many personal praises to go into, possibly at a later date when I have time. But I will add to the review as I can.
I cant thank the developers enough though for making thia available, providing simple intro guides and tips, plus the community access to experts who offer a wide range of insight enthusiastically (and non-condescendingly) on simple to complex questions from all levels.

Five stars for the developer, 1 star for limitations

I’ve enjoyed Fing for quite sometime, I own two of them. One for the office and one for the home. Granular control over devices in real-time has been great for dealing teenagers and excessive internet use at home. In the office, it allows me to provide clients a level of access they need and that I feel comfortable providing. In this last update, I find the UI much more limited and far less useful. I get the feeling from reading about Apple’s security concerns for its services trumping the security interests of its users is forcing developers to cater to ensuring we (users) cannot peer behind the curtain and further, that we cannot interfere with those services by cutting off the data feed. If possible, fing, please look to the previous iteration of the app and either build some of those functions into the web app or place them back in the iOS app.

Thank you!

Fing support

Well seems like fing is doing what he’s supposed to,I think, not sure... I contact tech support and all I seem to get back is an auto response saying I’ve opened a ticket then 2 days later I’ll get another auto response saying “How did we do” word to the wise, If the cable co comes to service your home or business REMOVE FING AND DONT MENTION IT” they came out to my place and I told them the problems I’ve been having and he was very curious on how I knew all this information. I asked if he knew about Fing Box, 3 different cable repair men said “ no, what’s that? I’ve never heard of it”! Well when they got upset due to me having a lot more information than him ( so I thought) they all on different days pull out their phones and I see the fing app on their phone! They couldn’t backpedal enough, throw out more lies and leave fast enough saying a supervisor would have to come out. Then they hooked a big box outside to my cable and fing went through all his colors, went off, turns back to white, which is a Reboot mode and it’s never been the same and fing support has not answered any thing I’ve asked sense. I WOULD LIKE TO GET AN EXCHANGE!!! But for now ..... nothing but auto response saying “ Hey, How did we do... would be nice to actually get a human response and a support phone number to contact a human being!!! Technology has passed humanity.. it’s sad ... Mark R.
