Simple and easy to use
Have used the tool for years now - it is my goto Mac OS tool for device discovery on a network.
Works fine but very hard on resources
Using this on an older MacBook Pro but its struggling - fan on high and task monitor is showing the cpu at 181% just for IP Scanner Ultra -
Seems rather intense for something the is just running probes -
Features are nice and its an easy piece of software to use
Scanner works, simple, some features
The data is some times inacurate. No alerts, seems to sample slow.
Handy Utility
IP Scanner Ultra is a Very Handy utility, I use it every day.

Great Basic Sniffer
I have a smart home and sometimes devices get lost. I try to hard code an ip address for every device, but sometimes when they update or if I add a new device they “get lost”. I use IP scanner to scan the entire network when things get lost or if the network is very slow. One day I discovered two devices eating a lot of bandwidth, and no , not my banned chinese cameras either. I rebooted the devices and all was well. I also once found the neighbors kids streaming TV on our guest network when
Excellent tool
I have several cameras and raspberry pi devices that I need to connect from my computer. There is no other easy way than opening this app and finding the IP address.
Great software for IT professionals
As an IT professional this software was one of the best pieces of software I came across when I made the jump from a dual boot Linux/Windows PC to a MacBook. Being able to run this software and get notifications any time another device connects to the network is extremely helpful for me. Sure, there are other IP scanning applications out there, but none that can do everything this one does. Also, being able to use the software on my iPad and my iPhone make it pretty handy. If you are on the fenc
Great Network Tool
Wonderful app for finding who, what and where is on your network.
I can’t help binge watching my network lol
It would be great to have a widget version of this app that I can just pin to a wall somewhere!
1 Negative User Reviews for IP Scanner Ultra
No longer useful
Used to be the best. Now it is not really usable on MacOS.
It doesn't do anything like attempting to probe/ping every IP, instead it relies on reading the OS arp table to find the IP addresses. This is fast, but unfortunately, unless your device has had reason to contact all the devices on your network, it is an incomplete list.
I used to recommend this to everyone. Now on the search for one that actually works...
