WiFi Guard - Scan devices and protect your Wi-Fi from intruders for Negative User Reviews
✓ Unable to save names of devices.When saving device names it uses the MAC address which is no longer available, so it gives all devices the same name after entering a name and restarting.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great app but 2 major flawsGreat UI, Apple TV and Apple Watch compatible BUT there are 2 major flaws that appear to be mentioned a few times in reviews: Changing names of devices, often the entire lot will change; super annoying, especially after I put the work in. 2, change my password to block a user? I should be able to block a user..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Buggy softwareI spent an hour or so identifying all my devices and naming them. Came back the next day and they were all named the same. Wasted my time, it might be useful if this were fixed..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Fix the labeling problemIt could be so perfect if they would fix the labeling problem. What’s the point of labeling each item if it’s going to just change everything to the same custom name the next time you open the app? Fix that problem and you’ll get five stars..Version: 2.4.1
✓ App doesn’t retain renaming devicesEveryone is saying the same thing: the app doesn't hold renames..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Utter garbageOpened the app to find everything on the network was labelled as “laser printer” even the device I was using..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Unknown devices.After detecting unknown devices, there is no option to block them. App advises to contact provider. Useless!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Problem renamingRenaming a device causes all devices to be renamed with the same name! Not very good. Deleted app..Version: 2.4.1
✓ I like the app but it has a few bugsSometimes it shows the name of the devices and then later lists those same devices as “unknown”. Whenever you try to edit the name of one device it gives all the devices in the list that name regardless of each device having it’s own static IP address..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Locked me out of my routerIf I could give this piece of garbage a negative rating I would. I installed this app at 7:30 tonight and sat down to watch a movie on my Apple TV. Within 25 minutes the wireless kicked me off, shut off my iPhone’s wireless connection and wouldn’t let me back in. I had to reboot my router, change the password, and wipe the network map before I finally realized it was this stupid app causing everything. I deleted the app and restarted my phone, and just like that, everything starting working again. DO NOT GET THIS APP..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Device name.All my devices listed are under the same name. I change each one to what actual device they are, but they keep changing to just one. Very annoying..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Idea is great but renaming messes everything upIf you rename a device to what you think it should be, all the devices get the same name. Fix this and you will have a great app. Until you do, it’s useless..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Wi-Fi guardWhen I edit my devices on the app the info doesn’t lock in and my devices alll end up with same edit, and I can’t distinguish which is which.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Almost there...Great app for seeing what’s connected to your WiFi. However, device identification is sketchy This app allows you rename the device to what the device actually is. After defining the specific device say: iPhone, the app prompts you save. All good right? Unfortunately these device name changes will NOT save! When you close and reopen the app all devices have the same name. Unfortunate, because you can’t really manage devices and there access to WiFi if your trying to manage WiFi access or reduce the “load” on your network. Pease allow a hard save for device names. Do that and you’ll have a five star rating..Version: 2.4.1
✓ HelpMy I phone ap is showing as a Mac on the feedback even though my phone is called Sian J is this a glitch in the app or is their another explanation?.Version: 2.4.1
✓ WifiOk!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ It stopped working.First it change all the devices to the same name that I had edited one device to and then it has called all eight devices on my network the same thing..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Meh.All it does is identify all connected devices and computers as ‘iPhone’, I have just one iPhone but I have a dozen other devices. It recognizes all those devices connected by ip but only labels them as iPhones. Doesn’t matter if I personalize each device through the app, it still just recognizes them as iPhones👎.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Good appI like this app. Someone seems to be connecting to my WiFi & hoping this will help me figure out where it is coming from. I would give it a better rating if it would truly save the names I give each connection. I save them each time I look at it but getting tired of doing that....Version: 2.4.1
✓ SucksWould only show 5 out of 9 devices. Change one name on a device and they all change to that name. This app does not work as advertised..Version: 2.4.1
✓ MyIt's ok,let's you know who's using your internet,but it could do with having a simple free block ,to stop the same intruders keep using your internet..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Naming Convention IssuesAlways seems to apply the name you label a device to all devices...becomes frustrating to use. Really buggy and disappointed to read the issues being complained about 3 years ago...obviously a project that has been long forgotten!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Am I missing something ?Every device in my flat that uses the WiFi simply comes up as unknown device. After figuring out what was what, I changed the names to ones I would recognise and closed the app. Upon reopening it they all came up with the name of the last device I had changed. Some devices didn’t even appear in the listing at all. Waste of my time..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Poor appGives you a list of IP address No list of names and not mac addresses Waste of time.Version: 2.4.1
✓ PleaseI recently downloaded this app and I really like it because it really does say who’s connected, but there’s this bug where I name one thing and I refresh the app and the other devices are the same name as what I named one device. Please fix that bug because I really want to know my own devices without having to rename them all the time..Version: 2.4.1
✓ InconsistentSometimes it works great...however sometimes it gives bad nam a for devices I know what they are by the IP it is giving for them but the device name it gives is way off from what the device is. If I can see those devices I know do not have the correct descriptions how can I trust it to be telling me what the other devices are? I need an app that is trustworthy. :-(.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Rubbish AppUnable to identify connected devices.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Don’t change any device namesDon’t change any device names in the app, and you’ll be fine. If you are tempted to customize by editing the device names, you’re screwed. Delete and re-download. Also, restart your router before you start this process. Everything just will work faster. (Well, I have Spectrum, so...).Version: 2.4.1
✓ My iPhone times tenEverything connected to my router is has be named as My iPhone. When I checked the router settings everything has a “friendly name” e.g. Printer Front room TV My iPhone etc. Total waste of space..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Names of devices flawedIt appears to detect devices using my wi-fi accurately but it does not “name” them accurately. I opened the app this morning and all devices were called Roku. I corrected the name for one and it renamed all of them with the same name. Tried again, same result. I don’t remember the IP addresses of all my devices so this app is useless to me if I have to pull up my computer or use another app to figure out if these are “approved” devices..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Great applicationA major problem with this application is that all of my devices show the same mac address. Basically all 00 except for 02.This makes the functionality questionable. As this function is important in identifying devices I would be hesitating to rely on it. I really had not noticed this before so it is probably a recent development. Maybe the developer could reply to this review?.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Good but device naming issueBasically ok but change a device name and that gets propagated to every other device..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Good but !All device name end up the same needs an update to stop this.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Imma girlNot sure how this work currently experiencing illegal audio possibly video use in my apt downloaded this app to see if it will somehow bring me close to how this surveillance is connected. App shows unknown at time which created a problem. Using hidden camera finder I detected cctv and mouse not sure if that is associate with my WiFi app or not. I like this app just really unsure of purpose as it pertains to my situation.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Re naming Ip addressesI would love to give a five star review but I can’t because of the renaming issue! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to get a name attached to each address but they always go to one name! Please fix this and you will have my full support!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Not What I ExpectedIt started off great , however once I began unplugging devices to better identify them, it lost itself. I began plugging in the devices one by one and labeling them in the app only to find that THEY all became the name of the last device I labeled. Refreshing doesn’t help. It is identifying a lot of “ unknowns” which begs to question, what is using my WiFi?.Version: 2.4.1
✓ AccurateGood to use as a cross reference to make sure your router/modems native app is working correctly. Minimal functions, but works if you only want to know the number of devices logged onto your network..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Useless! Unable to do the basics correctlyDevices misidentified along with capabilities and services.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Thumbs downAllows anyone access to your home network. Free of security..Version: 2.4.1
✓ The worst🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮Doesn’t even work just says unknown device and then says share to friends.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Does not work.All devices have the same name so useless. You can also NOT block any device trusted or not from this app. Avoid!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Same oldDose not function for me I want ability to exclude from network for privacy no such functions.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Adding custom name bugFor some reason adding a custom name to one device causes the name of all devices to be renamed..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Doesn’t find all the devicesWhen I first opened the app there were 9 devices, most of which were “unknown”. I connected to my router to identify a number of the devices. It now shows 5 but doesn’t show one of my phones sitting next to the phone the app is on..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Everything gets the same nameI thought this was going to be more useful than the device monitor on my router... but as soon as you rename an unknown device (for example “my iPad”), it renames every device the same. So now I have ten “My iPads” registered on the network. Dumb as a bag of bricks..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Wifi guard uselessWhen I installed it all my devices that were switched on showed up but when I turned on a new device it did not show up!!!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Unimpressed!This is a nicely presented app, but it fails to identify some devices. In addition it fails to recognise my wife's iPhone 6 completely. In conclusion I'd say if you install it on your device don't rely on it, because it's not accurate..Version: 2.4.1
✓ TerribleKicks you off your own network. Uninstalled.Version: 2.4.1
✓ What??I have tried repeatedly to use this app but do not find it helpful. Each time I edit the name of each device so I know what each one is, it renamed ALL of the devices with one of the names. Confusing. Frustrating. Not helpful in the end..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Annoyingly badWhy does renaming one device on a network result in all the other devices on the network being renamed with the same name? Completely ridiculous and makes the app unusable..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Renaming issueCan’t rename a device, as it renames all the devices in the network to the same name. Would be great if this issue could be fixed..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Potential, but not there yet...This app tells you the total qty and IP address of all connected devices. It fails to pull MAC address 90% of the time, and does not label devices based on available information such as upnp address which would eliminate the need to get out the computer to identify which devices the ips belong to. Self labeling or at least identifying which group (screens, phones, accessories, network, etc) would double the usefulness of this app. Also, as previously mentioned by others "change name" changes the name of every device, (which is odd, and a giant PITA, also mine changes all names at will... whereas custom name option is device specific. Since the SID already contains the network name, I would suggest eliminating the name (not custom name) spot and instead placing the SID there instead..Version: 2.4.1
✓ False advertisingIt says that it can "wake up" sleeping devices but can't..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Crashes after 2 seconds.Complete ripoff. Don't buy!!! Every time I open the app it crashes immediately..Version: 1
✓ Don’t believe the descriptionYou know the app is a hoax when you go to write a review and its already filled out for you??? Drop 1 more star. This app does not provide the info it claims to, not even close. No manufacturer, no MAC address, half the connections come up as “unknown” with just a local ip. My grandma could provide more info about a device on my network and she McCann barely open her email. If you do download I hope you ha e better luck. His was on my phone for a good 5 minutes and now I’m done..Version: 2.4.1
✓ App questionThe app seems like its going to be awesome. Although im not 100% sure on how to use it properly. How do you delete other devices or networks? I don't want to block them just remove them..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Apparently gives false positivesA nice looking app, bus based on info from similar scanning apps and info logged directly by the router it would appear to be giving false positives. Sales tactic? Sorry. Unimpressed..Version: 2.4.1
✓ SecurityNo way to get anti virus updates.Version: 2.4.1
✓ Wifi GuardThis COULD be good app, it does have potential, but… I don’t know anymore than I did because all it says is “unknown device,” well no crap! When I take the time to rename the unknown that’s fine and good when I close the app, BUT when I reopen the app again, I have to take the time and do it all over once again. THEN all of the sudden they ALL have the same name. I have been reading a few of the other reviews and it seems I am not the only one with this issue...so just WHERE IS THE DEVELOPER OF THIS APP?? What developer? No comments on problems with YOUR app? Sorry, but that shows no concern in my opinion and THAT is enough for me...DELETING this/YOUR app Mr. Developer!.Version: 2.4.1
