Fing review
Fing scans the network your phone is connected to and lists every device it finds, putting names to entries that would otherwise be bare IP and MAC addresses by identifying the make, model and vendor. It also bundles speed tests over Wi-Fi and cellular, ping, traceroute, DNS lookup and port scanning, plus a view of reported internet outages and ISP ratings. It suits curious home users who want to know what is on their Wi-Fi, and people who end up doing tech support for family.
In practice you open it, tap scan, and within moments get a readable list of phones, TVs, speakers and smart plugs. Tapping a device shows its details and lets you run quick diagnostics. Alerts can tell you when something new joins the network. Paid upgrades and the optional Fingbox hardware add features such as automatic blocking of unknown devices and parental controls.
Why we picked it: The free scanner and device recognition are genuinely useful and quicker to read than most router admin pages.
Watch out for: Some of the more powerful protection and monitoring features sit behind a subscription or the separate Fingbox device.
What we like
- Fast scan that labels most devices by brand and type
- Speed test, ping, traceroute and port scan in one app
- Alerts when new or unknown devices join your network
- Available on both iPhone and Android
- Core scanning tools are free
What could be better
- Advanced protection features need a paid plan or Fingbox hardware
- Device identification is not always right for obscure gadgets
- Upgrade prompts appear throughout the app
Questions about Fing
Is Fing free?
The app is free to download and the main scanner, device recognition and network tools cost nothing. Extra features are offered through in-app purchases and the optional Fingbox hardware.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, Fing is available on the App Store and Google Play. Note that iOS limits what network apps can see, so some details may differ between platforms.
Can it help me find hidden cameras?
It can list devices on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to, which may reveal cameras that share that network. It cannot detect cameras that are offline or on a separate network.
Does it need an internet connection?
Scanning your local network only requires being connected to that Wi-Fi. Speed tests, outage maps and ISP data need internet access.
Can I block devices with the app alone?
Automatic blocking of intruders is tied to the Fingbox hardware and paid features rather than the free app.
