Ubiquiti WiFiman

This app does most of the basic network troubleshooting and information gathering that I do already on my Mac and other websites/apps, all in one place! It does a consistent ping of several IP addresses and outputs a line graph of the response time for each. It does the gateway automatically plus whatever custom IP addresses you want, I typically do several well-known public DNS servers. It has a nice speed test option, and scans for other devices on the network, showing you open ports and the ping response time for each. It also shows the apparent public IP address along with the name of the ISP. A great replacement/upgrade for the UBNT Discovery app! — Klint P.S. Someone gave this a bad review because it isn’t a Wi-Fi analyzer. Apple removed the ability for third-party app developers to create Wi-Fi scanners, but they do give you the option to do it in their own AirPort Utility app if you enable it in Settings>AirPort Utility.

The speed test regularly shows higher bandwidth than you actually have. WiFiman reports 32Mb up and down on a connection that is 30/30. It shows 26Mb on a 24Mb pipeline. It may not seem like a big deal to most of you but inaccuracy is inexcusable. The Net Analyzer app has a much better speed test which matches results from wired speed test. This and the OOkla speed test apps are both off and inaccurate. The IP scanner is meh. There are 10 other network apps that do the same thing. Plus, half the time devices will show up as “generic” even when I am actively using them while running a scan (e.g. my iPad Pro always shows up as “generic”). PS - I use Ubiquiti at home and at businesses that I serve. I am a fan of their products but this app is pointless IMO. It offers nothing that other apps already do better.

Update May 6, 2019: ubiquiti added portscan on the May 1, 2019 update, and sent me a message to say that it had been added...it works nicely, and is a great feature addition for the WiFiman app. Thanks for the update, I definitely appreciate the feature, and I now feel completed. This was the original review: great Ubiquiti devs: why doesn’t this also do port scans? Great app for scanning local subnet like a ping-scan, and getting bonjour info, but would love portscan feature to see open ports on stuff on the local subnet. Portscan please. Give me port scan so I can use this app instead of another app...everything else in my life seems to involve Ubiquiti products, I need portscan so I can be completed.

I really love this app, it’s great for so many things. Getting ping times, public ip, speed tests and even a network scanner. I have replaced 3 other apps with this one. Awesome! There are a couple improvements I would like to see: Speed test- it would be nice to be able to label them, so when you jump to different access points or in different rooms you can more easily differentiate between tests. Scanner- possibly limited by apple, but it gives very vague info unless the devices are unify. A basic manufacturer name would be helpful.

I just downloaded it for the first time. I noticed in the upgrade comments they fixed a bug where it got hung up. Unfortunately, each time I run a speed test, it starts ok then 20 seconds later it crashes, returning me back to the home screen. When I double click the iPhone home button, the app is there, but it starts over from scratch when I click on it.
