I didn't think it would matter that much to me, but I was curiously relieved to see I was hacker-free! And no useless, memory-wasting \"bells and whistles\" to bloat it up. To address a previous review concern, I don't think the app can provide any more information than what the connected device is \"pinging;\" if I wasn't ...\n\t—by Saintsinger, United States\n\nGives me peace of mind to see what devices are connected\n\t—by Sctty7, United States","facts":{"developer_id":1030022182,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2016-01-15T21:30:19Z","support_url":"http://www.wifiguardapp.com/","privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"2.4.1","release_notes":"● Bug fixes and stability improvements\n\nIf you enjoy using WiFi Guard let us know by leaving a review on the App Store.
