Easily Scan, Measure, and Monitor Networks with Fing App @domotz
recently acquired Fing, so it’ll be interesting to see if their service changes in the near- or far-future, but Fing looks like a reliable network scanner – for example, think how this could be used to find your ESP8266 or Raspberry Pi address. Simple design touches like the colored-highlights for the final segment of the IP address make it a pleasure to look, and some of the features like Wake On LAN could prove useful. Do you use Fing or some other scanner app?
Fing is the super-fast and reliable network scanning App. Easily discover all the devices on your personal and professional networks from your mobile phone.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I’ve used Fing for a number of years now on my iPad, makes for a great networking scanning tool. On my Android phone I use PingTools Pro which is equally as good. Both are fairly ‘noisy’ though, definitely not passive, so I wouldn’t use it on work or public networks or any others that aren’t yours.. unless you have explicit permission of course 🙂

Thanks Ollie. I was unaware of PT Pro. There are some useful features – for instance the Watcher and IP Calculator – in that app too!
