Descended into greed. Was once a great and useful app. Now they will only let you use it if you subscribe -- which is extra stupid since it is a LAN app, not an online service. It's only a matter of time before someone develops a replacement app and offers it for free. Then Fing will die and fade away. That's what they get for trying to squeeze money out of users

I haven't used this app in months. Now when i actually need to use it i hit a paywall. Wait for a "cool down" or pay $2.99. no thanks, deleting this. This app has no support for Ethernet connections, only wifi. There are many Android devices that have Ethernet ports or with modern smart phones you simply connect a USB type C to Ethernet adapter.

Incredibly helpful tool Invaluable for diagnosing network issues on the fly or on location. A must have for any tech! Update: used to be helpful... Now if you need to scan more than 3 times a day you need a subscription. I Use the app on my own Network less than 5 times a year to troubleshoot issues. Doesn't justify a subscription. Unfortunately this app is useless to me now.
