Still using this device on the regular since I bought it in 2016 and have never had any issues. So glad to see the recent fixes!

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 Idling a switch port. The end-to-end testing is OK, but sometimes it's not reliable.

Great tool, just annoying when accidentally turning off the screen and putting the phone temporarily in the pocket. It silently disconnects it, but doesn't show it, and I have to reopen the app.

I'm disappointed that the company seems to have gone moribund, but the unit I *bought* -- while they were looking moribund, FWIW -- works fine, took the .33 upgrade, and continues to do everything I ask it to. It's a bit crotchety, yes, when it can't pull a DHCP address as requested, but just killing the app has solved the problem the majority of times, I rarely even have to bounce the problem, much less my phone.

Still often used, would be better if reselecting test options didn't involve having to come out of the test screen and go back in again.

Pretty sure these guys have closed up shop. They thanked a negative review. " Unable to recommend this product. The Pockethernet itself has great prospects and is very useful, but the company's communication is non existent (despite assurances from them that it'll improve). No communication for a very long time. No app or firmware updates for a very long time despite bugs being identified and acknowledged! Do not buy a Pockethernet. August 2019: still no firmware or app updates, just a beta version for Android users. Development allegedly continues but no ETA." Pockethernet: 10 August 2017 Thanks Neil!

Just got it yesterday, and I find that using the app on android v2.8a worked once to read the Vlan ID. Then after that one time the vlan tag won't select - just displays the recycle icon or a ghosted recycle icon. And I can't select the option to read the vlan tag anymore. Very unhappy about that as it's the only thing that made me need it. Hoping communications are not as bad as has been common said here
