iNet -- Network Scanner
Description of App
Inet - explore your network!
Find out about security risks and keep your network under control. With iNet you know exactly what's going on! This easy to use App outlines a computer network even to the unexperienced user. iNet is the little brother of iNet Pro.
Did you ever wanted to know which devices are connected to a network and which services are running? Are there ports opened for communication with the outside world? Find out with iNet network scanner. You will get a profound answer.
iNet shows the devices connected to your local network, for instance computers or routers, along with their name, IP and vendor. Most Apple devices are displayed with their correct icon. iNet scans on a very low level and shows even hidden devices.
All running Bonjour services are shown along with their real name. On every found computer you can perform a classic portscan to see which ports are opened and what they are used for.
iNet stores the last ten scans automatically. With the additional "save scan" feature you can save performed scans, name them and display them later for comparisons.
All scans can easily be sent by mail without leaving iNet.
Help and explanations are provided in the integrated info section. And you can contact BananaGlue directly from within iNet for support. We will answer your questions regarding the use of iNet normally within 24 hours (if we know the answer :-)).
If you want to know what's going on in you computer network - iNet is for you.
P.s.: iNet is the little brother of iNet Pro. iNet offers the same sophisticated network scan engine as the Pro version. And you can easily update to iNet Pro from within iNet if you want to use its full feature set.

Other Comments
I have the Pro version ($5.99 vs $0.99) of this app, which supports additional features, such as wake-on-lan, portscan to assess network vulnerabilities, ping of devices. I'm reviewing this based on the Pro version accessibility features, because I suspect that app will be more popular with most users. I got the Pro version of the app quite a while ago, when it was less expensive and there was no Lite or other version available. With this latest update it appears that a few more features from the Pro version may have made there way into the standard version.
Accessibility Comments
The only unlabeled button is the one for the Info page. It appears in the top right corner of the main page, and in the bottom left corner of some of the option pages (e.g., for iNet Pro, "Ping", "Portscan", "Wake on Lan" -- not all these features may be in the standard version of the app. The "About View Help Button Large" button on that page displays detailed help instructions. The "Mail" and "Website" buttons on the Info page let you contact the developer and access the product web page. Everything else is very accessible. Remember to double tap the "Rescan" button to update the scan information for the current network.
