AndroDNS vs DNS Hero
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
AndroDNS
This DNS client allows you to perform customized DNS queries directly from your mobile phone. In contrast to most other DNS clients, it does not impose restrictions on what you can query. Features: * Select recursive or authoritative server to query (default: system resolver) * Specify any question type (not just the most common A/AAAA/MX ....), you can even enter the type ID for new/experimental question types * Supports IN/CH/HS query class * Set question flags * DNSSEC aware (request / show RRSIGs ) - but it does not validate
DNS Hero
DNS Hero let you inspect DNS zones easily. This app will give you information about the root nameserver, nameservers associated with the domain and various other DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, SOA). You can also view the domain health as a diagnostic is run. This project is opensource at https://github.com/devgianlu/DNSHero. Built using the http://zone.vision API by DNSimple.
