Why is IP in Menu Bar 4.1 so big (12.9MB) and an app that appears to do the same thing (IPMenulet 1.0) so small (172KB)? What does this app do that IPMenulet 1.0 doesn't do? And why the huge difference in size of the two apps?
A very useful bit of freeware, but it only shows a machine's local IP.
IP Broadcaster is also freeware and it shows both local and public IP addresses. Furthermore, its developer has maintained an entire suite of networking utilities for many years, demonstrating a committment to both shareware and freeware apps:

IP in menubar is almost perfect.
I love the option of the smaller font and the way that it updates immediately when using VPN.
As I am using it primarily with VPN. It would be nice to retain my original IP address as a reference next to the new VPN current IP.
Also another feature that I would like to see is the country of origin of the VPN IP that I have been allocated.
Would that be possible?
Thanks again for a very useful tool.

Wow. Nearly a meg for a one-trick pony, whereas MenuMeters does this and quite a number of other functions at less than half the size.
That's REALCr...REALBasic for you.
A great little app. I change locations often. With this app, I can easily see when the new IP has connected (and connected correctly) without having to click a drop down menu.
Sometimes the simplest apps are the most useful. Certainly this one is.
Simple quick and easy....
I have it set at startup and having to bounce around among different wifi networks I know my connection is working when I see the IP address kick in....
been using it since June of last year with no problems
currently running panther 10.3.2
