Fing App for iPhone Review
Are you annoyed that your internet is slow of late? One of the reasons for this could be a possible hack. If someone has figured out your password, and is anonymously using your account, you might experience a noticeable slow down. But with Fing app for iPhone, you can quickly find out if someone is piggybacking on your WiFi signal. You can get Fing iPhone app for free from iTunes App Store.
Fing App Features
Fing app for iPhone quite accurately discovers all the devices that are connected to your network, with 100% coverage in any ethernet-based network. It displays the MAC Address and up-to-date Vendor names. With its easy to use interface, the app is a perfect tool for IT professional as well as for the casual user. However, iPhone Fing app does not automatically scans for intrusions once you fire up the app. Instead, you got to manually initiate new scans, which is a bit annoying. On a positive note, Fing integrates with Fingbox. That is, you can sync your network searches or back them up for later review. The app also let you monitor networks and receive notifications if there are noticeable changes.
Fing displays a constant tally of devices that has been on the network. For example, if you see something like 5/8, it means that you got five devices currently connected to the network, out of total eight devices that were previously detected. Further, you can send email your complete Fing report with just one click from within the app.
Another little annoyance is the intelligent icons that the app provides. The app assigns them as intelligently it can, but in most cases, they’re not spot on. We would recommend that you do it manually for better precision. Fing application is compatible with iOS versions 4.3 or later.
Final Thoughts
Fing app for iPhone scans your WiFi network to find out if anyone is sharing your connection. It is easy to use, intuitively designed, and quite light weight as well. Lack of an auto-scan on fire up is a bit of a downer. Integration with Fingbox comes handy. Verdict: Quite useful an app! If your WiFi network ever slows down, try Fing first before contacting any technical support.
