be optimistic. Based on the feedback from
the users one thing they want to be added in

For me this another iPhone app that seems
to be gathering mixed reviews. Some user
approved its efficiency and its user
friendliness, but other user rising complaint
that this app causes their device to freeze up
that can only be fixed through restarting the
device. Users as well object about the
absence of subnet scans. The decision is still
out on this app. But the best thing we need
to do is to try this and experience how it
holds up.
