App Obscura IP Scanner App

IP Scanner Lite ¹ is one of those little utilities that gathers dust in a corner until I really need it. The app scans the network and reports back on all machines it finds. Well, the Lite version only reports back 5 machines but that's sufficient on a small network.

What's striking about the app is the commitment to development. This little utility is updated almost weekly. The updates aren't just to game ratings and reviews. They provide real features. The latest update adds iCloud sync of network device preferences. If I identify a specific network device I can add custom information like icons, names and details.
