What's new since my last post:

The biggest update yet. Pingers looks and feels like a whole new app.

• Five powerful tools in one unified screen. Ping, Traceroute, Port Scan, WHOIS, and DNS are finally together
• Your server list and packet settings live right on the Tools screen where you need them
• The app now tells you exactly what went wrong. No internet, bad host, service unreachable. No more silent failures
• Dark mode refined from top to bottom
• iPad gets a fully redesigned split layout with controls on the left and results on the right. This is what Pingers on iPad was always supposed to look like

This is Pingers, rebuilt!

A – What problem does it solve?

You hop on a stream, or start working remotely and something feels off. Is it your Wi-Fi? The server? Your ISP? Most people just guess. Pingers gives you the answer in seconds.

• Home Screen Widget: Live latency for your favorite services at a glance
• Latency Check: Real-time ping to YouTube, Netflix, Discord and more
• Ping: By IP or domain with detailed stats like latency, RTT, packet loss, unlimited packets
• Port Scan: Custom ranges and scan speeds
• Traceroute: See every hop and find the bottleneck, now with configurable max hops and automatic destination highlight
• DNS Lookup: Query any domain instantly
• WHOIS: 47+ registries, ownership, expiration, status
• IP Config: Local & Global IP, Gateway, DNS, DHCP
• Favorites: Save unlimited servers for quick access
• Works on iPhone & iPad with Dark Mode because obviously

B – Why is it better than alternatives?

Most network tools are either bloated, ad-infested, or look like they were designed for Windows 95 (actual quote from a user). Pingers is built by a network engineer, so the feature set is serious but the design doesn't make you feel like you're filing a support ticket.

⭐️ 5.0 stars in the US/ 4.6 Globally
