Permission Message on Mac Desktop App





Hello
I keep getting the following message on start-up every time I boot my Mac. It is getting really annoying. How can I get Fing Desktop to to keep asking me this?

Tried all that bit it didn't resolved.
I have just updated to 1.3 and when trying to close the app I now get the following error message:
It really doesn't feel like this app is out of beta yet and should not be advertised as such.

With the installation of Fing Desktop, the application always require the Admin privileges to install it. It has been there since the first release. We have not changed anything on that part. Please make sure you are installing Fing Desktop under Applications folder only otherwise some features may not work.

I'll try and follow the above fix and see if it works.

/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.fing.service.plist: service already loaded
Next boot, I will see if it has made any difference.

You will be asked for your password." The only option is to click "OK." After clicking OK the password window comes up. What I have noticed though is you do not need to type in your password, you can just click "Cancel" and the Fing desktop app opens normally and goes through its checks. It is still annoying, however. It seems this is an unnecessary flag the app is asking for and should be fixable.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Fing Desktop app three or four times. The app is installed in the "Applications" folder. I have searched for and trashed anything with "Fing" I can find on my MacBook before reinstalling the Fing Desktop app and the startup message keeps coming up. Are the folks at Fing working on a fix to this?
Are you using any Antivirus or Firewall on your mac device?

Another 'example' of poorly designed software (yet you keep hammering people to 'buy' a higher level?????)
Internet service goes out, for whatever reason, CRASH, FING stops working.
Service gets disabled.
I apologise for the inconvenience. We are listening to every requests. the reason I asked you to try in safe mode, as we have found out that in some case, the antivirus, firewall is blocking Fing desktop from performing and as a result it is disabling service. Also, as you mentioned, if the internet goes out then Fing desktop will not be able to connect to its servers then also, the service can get disabled but if the internet comes back, you can reboot Fing desktop and it should work.
