oWatchdog 4+

Seems pretty good June 2023

I just purchased it and installed it. It seems to work well enough.
The interface is a bit clunky but once I got the feel of it it seems fine. Looks like you can set up 3 dfferent types of scans and in each you add your IP address or website targets.
In my case I am checking pings and web pages. Every 10 minutes it tries them and reports results.
I am happy enough with it. Inexpensive. Does what it needs to without a lot of "kitchen sink" functions that make other programs expensive.
You have to stop scanning to add more devices. The icons that are not greyed-out are still kind of grey. That is the style nowadays but it is confusing in most apps. But just try things.
I think a little user guide or a "next check" time would help people figure things out. But what they have is good.
Thanks for the app.

Nonfunctional

Main window shows up … and that’s it. You can click on the “start” button, and it changes to a “stop” button … and nothing. None of the “checkmark” options are enabled (greyed out). The manual doesn’t have a “troubleshooting” section. “Support” link is just a page with an ad for this app. Dangerously close to being a scam (I won’t say it definitely is, as I didn’t try the email link - the simple functionality this app claims to have just isn’t worth the extra effort.)
