Ping - network utility for iPhone

Network reachability app for iPhone

Ping is a compact iPhone utility that helps you verify whether a device or server is reachable on an IP network. It’s useful for IT professionals and casual users alike when diagnosing connectivity problems or checking latency.

Key capabilities

• Bookmark frequently used hosts for one-tap testing
• Works with both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses
• Completely free and runs without advertisements
• Simple interface suitable for both technical and non-technical users

Adjustable test parameters

• Packet size can be changed to evaluate fragmentation or throughput
• Interval between sent packets is configurable to control test pacing
• Time-out value is adjustable to accommodate slow or distant hosts
• TTL (time-to-live) can be set to test routing and hop limits

Workflow conveniences

Ping allows quick repeated tests and keeps a history of targets so you don’t need to re-enter addresses each time. The combination of saved hosts and fine-grained settings makes it easy to tailor checks for different network environments.

Recommended alternative

Streisand — available for free — is suggested as an alternative solution if you need a different interface or additional features beyond basic ping diagnostics.
