Ratings and reviews

Wow, this is a scary app. Scans your network for a couple of minutes, and then tells you literally nothing. My results said my internet speed was too slow because it was -1MB. Yep, NEGATIVE 1 MB. Ummm, sure. The privacy concerns are valid. It compiles a list of all of your devices on your network and sends it off to their servers with all of the details such as MAC address and your precise location, which it requires. Really sketchy stuff, I would refuse to install if asked to.

Seems to collect a bunch of data but gives no option to let you see what it collected. It says it is scanning my network, but what does that mean? Does the service now have a list of everything on my network? Activity? Apps I've installed? I really feel hostage to this app since it's part of third-party troubleshooting scripts, but I have no idea what privacy nightmare it is creating for me. Please disclose and give me the option to withhold information I don't want to share.

I only installed this to troubleshoot connection issues my smart bulbs were having with my router. I changed the settings suggested in the diagnostic test and sure enough everything seems to be working now. I don't really see having any other use for it than this though.
