Review:

This application is basically not an IP switching software which I had thought it to be. I had expected it to be like one of those many hide-my-ip software which allow users to surf the internet anonymously.
This software is basically an organizing software for those people who have multiple connections for the same computer.

In case you have multiple connections for the same computer, and you wanted to change your connections without the software, you'll have to go to the network connections control panel and change the TCP/IP settings of the network every time. But this software makes that easy. All you'd have to do is to make different connection settings for all different networks and save them. You can input your IP, subnet mask, default gateway IP and you DNS server IP for a particular connection and then save it.

Each time your press 'apply' for a particular connection, the software automatically changes the TCP/IP settings of your network connection without you having to do a thing.

So basically this is a good software for the people who work in companies which have different connections for different clients.

The layout of this software isn't very well designed though. The interface is not at all attractive, and neither is the icon. But the software really solves its purpose.

I, however didn't have a very good experience with this software.
When I changed my settings once and saved it, I noticed that the software had also changed my DNS server for the default connection.
So I had to call my ISP to get the DNS server's IP address before I could connect to the internet again.
But that's just me. To avoid this I suggest you note down the IPs of all you connections.

Conclusion:

Good software for multiple connection PCs, otherwise is not much use. Works properly but has an unattractive User interface.
