As a fan of this app, I’ve found Network Utilities developed by First Row to be amazing accolade gem among the recent flood of big titles on the App Store. I still suggest giving Network Utilities a try if you’re in the passionate mood for some unique apps and want something that is absolutely distinctive.
The application is a set of tools required to diagnostic computer networks, identifying problems. However, the program would be useful not only for network administrators and IT specialists, but also for people who are interested in networks and protocols, or study their working.
Important utilities available presently
- IP discover -supports 2 modes of working
- Subnet scanner – scanner with changeable address range
- Ping
- Traceroute
- Telnet client
- Port scanner – tcp, udp
- Netstat -monitoring of connections
- IP calculator

If you have root, next tools also available:
- Packet sniffer
- Packet crafter and supports ethernet, arp, ip, udp, tcp, icmp headers
More importantly the app includes not only common and always necessary tools, but also the means to work with the network traffic at a low level. In addition to ordinary tasks, such as checking the availability of the host or trace route, the program will allow to solve unusual problems, and even simulate the individual network utilities, if necessary.
The users might to configure custom ethernet packet and send it. Immediately to see network packets at selected network interface by using a sniffer. Network Utilities makes it possible, without letting go of your smartphone or tablet from hands. Built-in traffic analyzer makes it possible not only to view the dumps of network packets in real time, but also save/open the pcap files.
Interestingly the application is multi-tool; you can also use multiple tools in different tabs or even all at once, and switch between them during working. Sophisticated application interface permits optimum use of the working space of the screen, in landscape or in portrait orientation.

They have ability to work with clipboard and with base of IP/MAC addresses, which will be filled with network scanners. It will also save a lot of time when using multiple tools together. There are many other features are described in the help, which is included in the app for benefit of global users. Finally without a doubt in my mind, Network Utilities developed by First Row is another great app title which wholly satisfies global users.
