A question on network scanner app

[AliceWond]

Hey everyone,
So lately I've been concerned with my Wi-Fi and its erm..privacy plus few other things and I've heard of the app called Scany for iOS,which lets you see whether anyone is using your wi-fi and hidden networks and etc.So my question is: has anyone tried that? does this app have any drawbacks or is it totally safe?
Thanks a lot!

All it does is list the clients connected to your network / some additional info about them. I've used the free Android equivalents (Fing is the one I use currently). Not really a "safety" concern with it, because it's just scanning your wifi for connected clients. You should already be able to do this from your router's web interface, as well.

There is a free/paid iOS App called iNet which scans for and lists connected clients on your network. If you're really concerned about the machines connected to your network it's a useful tool for taking a quick look.
