*** COMPLETE WIFI SCANNER ***
See whats connected to the public WiFi networks youre connecting too. This all-in-one information application is an extremely fast and thorough security solution for every user.
LANScan is an application developed for Network Administrators and IT Managers but presented in a format targeted for non-professionals. This application allows you to view information about all the devices on a local network. Network devices are displayed in a very logical and convenient format for displaying the most pertinent information about each device.

When scanning the local network for all attached devices, LANScan will probe the network using:
•TCP Connect Scanning: attempting to establish a TCP connection with each IP address on the local network.
•ARP Scanning: The ARP table is scanned for any devices attached to the network that doesn’t respond to a TCP connect.
•NetBIOS Scanning: Finding all devices on the network that respond to a NetBIOS query.
•Bonjour Scanning: Scan the network for all services on the local network that are broadcasting bonjour services.
•Reverse DNS: All devices are also queried for hostname information using multicast queries.
•Port Scanning: When detailed information is requested, a very fast port scan is also displayed.
•Wake On LAN: Wake devices on the LAN which are configured for remote wake up.

All information gathered is presented to the user in a easy to understand user interface including dictionary lookups for known MAC addresses, common port addresses and many bonjour services. All designed to give the user an understanding of all the devices connected to a local network.

This app is the best one around! A little bit expensive but it does everything it promises to do. Best of all: NO IN APP PURCHASES! Or any other type of taxes besides that 4,99 USD. Really good. Its worth it.
Very fast and well done. What Id love to see for next version is the ability to list smb shares, files, with a connect as..
This app is awesome its very useful you can see your router open ports and the devices connected to it. I give it a 5 on a 5 stars. Recommended.

Very good. Usefull to find the ip addresses of other devices.
great app for identifying clients & their respective IP addresses on your network

Some bad moments

Start the app, get a black screen for 5 to 10 seconds, then the app just disappears. Dont buy if you have an iPhone 5 and until they confirm it works on iOS 9.3.2
We have 3 iPhones currently connected to our home wifi and this app did not find any of them. Maybe Im missing something or misunderstanding something???
