As you may find out by reading its name, bitsoft ShowIP is a very simple application that does just that: it shows you the local and the external IPs.
Although it's in essence a fairly basic tool, bitsoft ShowIP does a bit more than that and comes to lend a hand to users who want to keep an eye on their IPs all the time.
The interface it boasts is minimal and shows the current hostname, LAN and WAN IPs, with a simple log screen at the bottom of the main window to notice any change that may occur.
A separate feature to resolve a host to an IP address is also available, but what's more important is that bitsoft ShowIP is capable of detecting any IP change and notify the user either by sending a message or by playing a sound.
There's not much to configure about bitsoft ShowIP, as it comprises only a basic settings menu with just two options designed to keep the window always on top and to save activity to a log file.
Otherwise, it remains a basic piece of software that runs on low resources and doesn't affect system performance at all. It runs fine on most Windows iterations, but it sometimes crashes on Windows 7, even when launched with administrator privileges.
All in all, bitsoft ShowIP deserves a chance, not necessarily because it shows the current IPs, but thanks to the fact that it can keep an eye on your IPs and notify of any modification that could occur.
