Ratings and Reviews
Good for Casual Snooping
The app itself is not that unique; most of the information it provides through the GUI can easily be obtained via the command line (assuming you know how to use your shell). But a stable application that looks quite nice and is fairly stable is most definitely worth something in my book. If there were ever a more full-featured version that came out, I would be sure to buy it.
One thing missing
It has a large variety of network information but omits traceroute, a long-time standard tool for looking at current routing.
It might have been great.
Good & Solid - Needs 2 Things
Like its counterpart on iOS, this one is solid, and does what you want in a GUI-based network tool utility.
Two things it could use:
1) Port Scan capability
2) Remember the last address you pinged, or GEOIPed, etc. I frequently just ping 8.8.8.8 to make sure my VPN is working and entering it each time is a pain
