My IP is a utility app to see with which public IP address you are connected to the net (different from your IP address inside your LAN).
Public IP is the IP address you use to connect to the global net, the address the rest of the world see you at. The public IP address sometime can be static (always the same), sometime dynamic (changed by the internet provider over time at any connection).
Obtaining the IP value of your connection could be not easy, particularly if you are behind a modem router. In the case you are using a modem router, using normal system

I can't believe this is being sold, even if for $1.00. You should look at the alternatives before doing putting the product on the market. Bwanadik (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16607/bwanadik) has been free for years, is noninvasive and more feature-complete. I haven't tried it in Lion or Mountain Lion, but don't really see any hurdles to it working in either.
I can't believe that any product we put on sale there is someone that says that there is a better and free alternative and suggest all to go elsewhere.
Often there are also people that suggest to the users to do not buy because with the free Xcode they can realize the software for themselves, all for free without spending a dollar, they just need to code a bit.
Or go to whatismyip.com in Safari for free. Sheesh. I knew the Mac App Store would turn in to a free for all of nearly useless apps begging for your .99 contribution. That's why I love my iPhone's inability to install non-Apple approved software.
Or if you cannot use a Browser for whatever reason paste this into the Terminal and hit enter. This can also be used with GeekTool for displaying the live IP on the desktop.

My IP is a utility app to see with which public IP address you are connected to the net (different from your IP address inside your LAN).
Public IP is the IP address you use to connect to the global net, the address the rest of the world see you at. The public IP address sometime can be static (always the same), sometime dynamic (changed by the internet provider over time at any connection).
Obtaining the IP value of your connection could be not easy, particularly if you are behind a modem router. In the case you are using a modem router, using normal system utilities, your IP address will be indicated as equal to your LAN (Local Area Network) IP address, with is really just your address inside your local network, totally different form your true external public IP address on internet. Your internal IP address has no value outside your local area network.
My IP works instead indicating always your true internet IP address, the one the world can see you at, detecting the IP address your modem router uses to connect with the rest of the world, with is the address the rest of the world identify you and can use to connect to you. Know your true public IP address is mandatory in many situation where you have to specify, specially for external use, at which address you are and can be reached by servers or desktops outside of your LAN.
My IP offers a simple and intuitive interface, a fast use and the option to work with 4 different servers to show your public IP address. It’s enough to run my IP to have your public IP address displayed.
Fast and easy to use
Useful to know your public IP address behind a modem router with a shared IP
Able to show your public IP where usually system utility fails showing just your LAN IP
Instant result available at launch
