Does what it advertises and works flawless on my computer. And the developer is very responsive and added a requested feature right into the next update.

Version: 2.3

The problem I reported on August 28. 2017 has been corrected, thanks to excellent support from the developer. He gave very specific instructions to remove certain files that were the cause of the unresponsiveness of the app. Since then, Network Radar has been functioning very well. If I knew how to do it, I would remove my earlier two-star rating and give this app the five-stars it deserves.

The release notes state among the items fixed: "In some situations the app got unresponsive." On my system, this problem has not been corrected. The app is unresponsive more than it is responsive. When it works, it is a fine application. Unfortunately, most of the time it displays a rotating color wheel.

I use this software for several month to verify audio networks and general use networks.
I like its acuity, the ease to use it.
Used on a MacBokk Pro 17'' late 2011 with Mac OS 10.11.6

Useless, keeps crashing.,Would like refund

Useless it kept crashing

Downloaded trial and installed on macOS 10.12.5. Instant crash on first launch, though subsequent launches seemed to work ok. Seems like a nice product, but instant crash on first launch leaves me wary of a purchase, and is the reason for low rating.

Waste of money... Installed on machine running OS 10.12.5. Every time you try to open, the app just freezes up and requires a "Force Quit" to finally get out of it. Guess I can kiss that $$ goodbye... >:-{

Been using Network Radar for some years now and have never been disappointed. I use it at home and at work in a medium sized business. The developer keeps updating the software and some of my feature requests even made it into the latest update. Thanks!

Version 2.0 crashes repeatedly on 2015 iMac 5K with OS x 10.11.6

Version 1.2.5 doesn't seem to use ANY of the preferences from the previous version. NONE of my hosts or user entered data, e.g. custom icons, are present in 1.2.5. I can launch both versions (1.2.4 and 1.2.5) simultaneously and see two completely different sets of data in the main windows. This is a huge bug or oversite. I don't want to waste my time reconfiguring the entire app all over again. I'll wait till they get this fixed.

1.2.5 finally works!! MU hasn't posted it yet, but it is now working. Whatever the issue was, 1.2.3-1.2.4 only seemed to crash on the 17" Unibody.

24 February 2015

1.2.4 is dead too. I spent hours figuring it out, and it doesn't seem to work at all on a 17" MBP Unibody. I even did a clean OS load. It works fine on an old 15" MBP Aluminum. Whatever they changed, killed it for the 17" model. (Latest Mavericks with ALL updates on both machines)

Version: 1.2.3

All it does is unexpectedly quit.

How is this software licensed? If I purchase a single license can I install it on multiple computers?

Nice clean very Mac like design (many network tools suffer here). Has a nice set of functions and takes the approach of using the system to make the various connections to resources (smart) like "Connect via HTTP" to a network device fires off safari and makes a connection. It is a little light in the ability to monitor devices, which seems to be limited to simple ping. This tool also works only on your subnet. There is no apparent way to extend this tool to look across subnets or even outside your network. With this rather nice interface, I would like to see this tool add the ability to monitor a network, network range, or device by IP address. Additionally, the monitoring could easily be extended to monitor the actual service I am interested in, such as monitoring HTTP of my server in Dallas on the internet and monitor AFP on my server in my local network at the same time. Be aware, monitoring HTTP or AFP is more than making a connection, it involves a command, response and data check for HTTP, or even periodically mounting an AFP volume and checking for a directory list element. With the developer's slant for design, adding detailed graphs and realtime network EKG style output for monitored devices should be a natural fit where the host information is shown, maybe even a tab... Overall, this is a nice utility and an excellent design but needs to be built further before it becomes part of my network tool arsenal. (PS, and I really want to see that happen) For now, I will wait for "Network Monitor Pro"

The activation process was rather convoluted, requiring setting up an account at Paddle, whatever that is. And I had to wait 24 hours for my license code to show up. The process did not follow the instructions but ended up working. Now I can try out the program.

Watch only 15 devices on pan but there are 36 for IP scanner and I have other 5 device total 41, so radar don't works well or no ?

It appears that I paid ($9.99) for a demo version of the software. The email to get the license didn't work. I received an email from paddle.com (who ever they are) that provided a link to the coupon to receive the license key. I then had to create an account on paddle.com (not that I wanted to) which after 3 attempts and a password reset finally worked. I get the key and apply it to the software and voila it is just a crippled demo version. I should just have gone to their website an paid another $10 ($19.99) for the full version...

There is a problem in the activation process at Paddle, they are working on it. Some activations are failing. This is not a problem of the app. In this case, just contact support@mac-attender.com and it will be solved fast, like in my case. Easy to use app. fast and good support.

Version: 1.1.8

License not working, no activation. So: no features, no ease of use, no value, no stability. Money for nothing?

Can't say how the application works as the bizarre and byzantine procedure for "licensing" the product does NOT work. Support questions are directed back here to MacUpdate... Not an auspicious beginning, and a shady way to behave with users. It suggests that either MacUpdate or the vendor are not too swift... which augurs poorly for the application itself.

Nice interface, but can't compete with IPNetMonitor (running on the same Mac). Network Radar did not identify correctly 2 out of 3 Airport Express on the network, it did not identify the AppleTV as such, so you have to do that manually. It did not find a Fritz Repeater, either. The port scan is limited to port 1 - 1023. It is a nicely designed interface, but under the hood it is still work in progress, I would say.

Why haven't I found this before ? Works great at home and also in the university (huge network). Was very helpful in finding a specific server with a open port.

Digging deeper, to delete all traces of this app, I see the app is being a tad naughty - all the prefs etc refer to "com.mac-attender.network-radar" with multiple variants around this. Perhaps the app is pretending to be an official Apple/Mac app with this ambiguous approach to its name?

crashed repeatedly on mid-2010 Mini (10.8.3, 8g RAM). When it did open, couldn't find anything on my Airport Extreme network - nothing, nil, zero, zip. Don't bother downloading - better tools out there, this one is a dud.
