This app doesn’t work. Tried it on both my iPad mini and iPhone 5 but always get an error that no devices are found. I’m running an AirPort Extreme with an express extension
Hi Shaun and Christopher. I work at NetHero. You hit a problem we had on launch day that was fixed. I am so sorry for the hassle. Please try opening the app, log out, log in again.
Ok this app sucks really hard. It’s slow, does not use UIKit whatsoever. It’s horrible. How could it take a few minutes to scan a network? Why would you guys recommend it?
