NetDiag+ 1.4.8: reports as PDF, a Japan latency table, and a home screen that starts with the right tool
A network report is only useful once it leaves the phone. 1.4.6 made every tool export plain text; 1.4.8 adds the other format people kept asking for, and makes both of them better evidence.
Text or PDF, from every tool
The share button on a result now asks which you want. Text is still the right choice for a chat, a forum post or the body of a ticket — it is searchable and an agent can quote one line of it. PDF is for the cases where the recipient files rather than reads: a formal complaint, a regulator, an ombudsman. The PDF is A4, monospace so the columns stay aligned, and it carries the NetDiag+ masthead so it reads as something a tool produced rather than a paste.
Both formats now end with the line a support desk asks for first: which app version produced the report, on which device, on which iOS. And every timestamp carries its time zone — the provider's logs are in their zone, and matching "it broke at 14:19" to their records needs to know which 14:19.
One report got a real fix on the way: the LAN Scanner never listed the open ports it had found. It does now, and it says plainly which devices were not port-scanned at all, because in evidence "we did not look" must not read like "we looked and found nothing".
Latency Dashboard: Japan
The dashboard pings the services people in your country actually use, so it is only as good as its per-country tables. Japan gets one: AWS Tokyo and Osaka, Google Cloud Tokyo, PlayStation, Nintendo, DMM, Yahoo! JAPAN, LINE, niconico, Rakuten, and the three carriers — Docomo, SoftBank and au. Every host was resolved and connected to before it went into the table; nothing in it is guessed.

The Latency Dashboard and the bufferbloat test are the two tools that tell you who is at fault, and they were two levels down in the catalogue. The home screen now opens with them. Everything else is where it was.

- The App Store description was rewritten to say what the app actually is: 27 tools, 13 languages including Arabic, and an honest line about ads and analytics instead of a "no tracking" claim that was no longer true.
