Comments:
I think this device and app is developed for network maintainers and administrators like myself. IANA professional cable installer. I have had access to the Fluke Linkrunner AT2000 tools occasionally and for my uses the pockethernet compares well. I have owned the device for about a year and half. App almost never crashes or hangs for me. I remember one instance I did have to restart phone to get app working. I tried to register for the forums but can't at this time, thus no 4th or 5th star.
I've been using this app/device for almost 4 years now and it's been invaluable. I use this almost every day to ID ports. The infrastructure is really bad at where I work so this saves me from hand tracing. There are multiple different networks and vlans as well and this does a great job IDing them as well. I baby it as the plastic ends, I feel, could crack easily but the case protects it well. If testing a lot of jacks and cables you can sometimes hang the app and I have to close, reopen, and reconnect. usually doesn't happen that often though. I like the reporting aspect of it but I don't use it that often. Nine times out of ten I'm strictly ID'ing a switch port. The end to end testing is OK but sometimes it's not reliable.
I expected too much from this device in part because of the great reviews. The app also looks pretty good until you get the device. I was looking for a testing tool to quickly find issues but I find this to be more of a clunky toy type gadget. It is slow to respond and lacks range to communicate on long runs back to the network closet . I have other tools that I am much more comfortable with and will give results quickly. This may be great for some but not me.Return was painless and professional
Good app but definitely need to ensure this is good with current versions of Android. This app keeps giving me a warning that it may not not work properly with my version of Android. The app hasn't been updated since 2017...? This product has too much potential to ignore these kinds of details. C'mon guys, I know you can do better!
Contrary to those who have left reviews pointing out that there hasn't been an update in years, there's still active development going on for this device, you just have to visit the forums where you'll find the latest firmware and the accompanying beta app to sideload. The last update was 11/2019 as of today, 2/2020. This device is amazing period, but for the price it's a no-brainer. The NetAlly LinkSprinter costs double!"
