Not 5 star useful
I was looking for an alternative to Angry IP Scanner that would allow me to easily identify a non-responding device based on mac address. Based on the reviews, I thought Id give this a try. While its not a bad app, its definately not geared toward IT professionals. Some simple adjustments would greatly improve the app, so here are some suggestions that would make this truly great:
1) Option to display Scan results in Grid format (like a spreadsheet) as opposed to the current interface. If you have many devices, its cumbersome to have to scroll up and down to find something. Also, all relevant data (such as mac address, open ports, netBIOS name, etc) could be displayed in line with the detected IP address.
2)Search capability to help ID a device from a know identifier (in my case mac address)
If youre just doing a quick sweep for open IPs, or if you want to know whats on the network quick, this app will do it. If you want more information, and you want it quickly and easily, the UI is just too cumbersome to be useful - I dont want to have to open a second window to scan for open ports; I dont want to have to click on each item individual to see mac addresses, etc.
