Network Analyzer review
Network Analyzer bundles the everyday network diagnostic tools into one phone app. It scans your local network and lists connected devices with their IP addresses and, where available, hostnames and vendors. It also includes ping, traceroute, a port scanner, DNS lookup and whois. On Android it adds a Wi-Fi signal meter that shows nearby networks, channels, bands and security types. It suits curious home users wondering what is on their Wi-Fi, and IT staff who want quick checks without a laptop.
Day to day it works like a set of labelled tools. You open the LAN scan to see what is connected, ping a device that seems offline, or run a port scan to see what a box is exposing. Results come back fast and are laid out plainly, though some of the terms will mean more to people with networking basics. Extras such as visual traceroute, a speed test and Wake on LAN sit in the paid Pro version.
Why we picked it: It covers the common diagnostic jobs in one tidy app, and the free version is genuinely useful on its own.
Watch out for: The Wi-Fi channel and signal tools are Android-only, and the free Android version shows ads.

- Free Android version includes ads

Questions about Network Analyzer
Is Network Analyzer free?
Yes, the core toolkit is free on both iPhone and Android. Advanced tools such as visual traceroute, a speed test and Wake on LAN are part of the paid Pro version.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, it is available on both. The Android version adds a Wi-Fi signal meter showing nearby networks and channels, which the iOS version does not offer.
Does it need an internet connection?
Scanning devices on your local network works over Wi-Fi without internet access. Tools like whois, DNS lookup and traceroute to outside servers need an internet connection.
Is it legal to scan my network with it?
Scanning your own home or work network is fine and is what the app is built for. Port scanning networks you do not own or manage may break rules, so stick to networks you are allowed to test.
What are the alternatives?
Fing is a popular option focused on device discovery, and on Android WiFi Analyzer apps cover signal and channel checks. Network Analyzer stands out for bundling more diagnostic tools together.
