Good app but lacking key element
Seems to work flawlessly, has useful notes feature, trustworthy results I’ve come to expect but would be MUCH more useful to have some sort of aggregate of average speeds in my area for context.
Thanks to this app, I know *what* my up/down is but it sure would be nice to have comparative numbers to arm myself with knowledge if my service wasn’t up to local standards - otherwise how does a non-techie know what their speeds *should/could* be? Please consider adding something along those lines for those who want the best local internet service but who may not be technologically inclined enough to fully understand your results.Show lessMotorjed
Upload readings are off... what happened?
I’ve used this app for quite awhile for testing my internet speed. However, for the past little while I’ve noticed that the app (both on iPhone and on the windows store) has been reporting my upload speed way higher than it really is (2 to 3 times greater, so ~6 mbps as 12-18 mbps). That being said, because its done over a webpage, the website version reports the proper values! (Yay) I noticed this started happening with the app several months ago and its still there... and its also ONLY the upload speed. Download seems to still be reporting properly. It agrees with the website version and my knowledge on what my download should be and has always been.Show lessComander fox
Not good at all
As of a couple weeks ago this app has failed in many ways. It does not read the connectivity of your internet, it also sticks n glitches extremely bad. I uninstalled this app cause it mislead the readings n i had the internet provider come out only for it to show this app was way wrong. When running the speed app against theres it was clear this app was not correctly reading my speeds. I re downloaded the app today may 5th to see if they addressed the glitching issues and can clearly see they have not. It say my internet was running fine. Yet the app cannot read connections correctly if its glitching out extremely bad and sticking about 7x during the read. N stops short of the actual speed due to all the glitching issues the app has. I would suggest this app but as of recently the app has failed miserably n i wouldn't suggest using this app until they fix the issues at hand n from what ive seen the developers are in no hurry at all to fix the issues. So il be deleting this app once again.Show lessexsposethefakes
Excellent App!
Speedtest is exactly what I have been looking for to determine the speed of my internet connection no matter where I am. It quickly tests and displays the speed of any WiFi or cellular data connection, no matter whether you are on a private or public network. I use it constantly to see whether to use the closest WIFi network, the cellular data connection on my phone, or the Onstar data connection in my car. The app is easy to use and automatically saves each test result, which is great for comparing the speeds available on various devices and for determining whether the speed on a particular device has changed (such as when your cellular provider chokes your cellular data speed after you reach a certain data limit). Well done Speedtest!Show lessBTD78
Great App! A must have!
All around, a great, stable, efficient, and attractive app! I've used Ookla for as long as I've had my iPhone, and a quick thirty seconds seems to be just what my particular iDevice needs to get it going in the morning 😉
On a side note, if you use this app like I do, and you haven't discovered the Easter Egg yet.... You've got some strange and random good times ahead of you! Lol
I was actually creeped out at first when i found the initial clue, not realizing what I had stumbled across
... That line was chilling... But also just enough to get me started digging🤓🕵️🏽♀️🐈⏱👁🗨
Keep up the great work, guys! Thanks again for all you've done with this hidden gem of an app!Show lessmisskristanrose
Feedback
I’ve got an idea for feedback. This speed test really just does a speed test. One thing I’d love to see added is tests that’ll indicate throttling, speed drops because I notice a lot of internet companies will shoot max speed at the beginning for a speed test then drop a lot during downloads, and a test for frequency stability because that can cause problems with an internet company. I had problems with that with an internet company before with frequency instability causing bandwidth drops and disconnections. Once the internet company puts a stabilizer box between the router and cable, fixes the problem. If your Moro is to keep internet companies honest these sort of testers would be amazing. I work in the military for networking so I know a decent amount of how it all works but not as good as I want to know yet.Show lessAhajej
Great tool for tracking my ISP
I depend on this tool for not only testing my speed from ISP but also use it for testing the Quality of my mess WiFi as my home is difficult to distribute maximum WiFi to all areas. My wish list for this APP would be a feature to also record to history the failures when I do not even register a ping. Also would like a feature to fix the server to my ISP so I don’t have to keep changing even though there exists better servers in my area. I typically send my ISP the history report showing my record at various times and dates but all from their server.Show lessErnmink
I rely on this app!
I rely on this app to check my WiFi at home. When things seems to be slow I can use this app to see if it’s my phone or tv that needs to be rebooted or if it’s actually my WiFi that is slowing down. From there I know if I need to reboot or changed channels on my WiFi. The new release today that says I can use the same test to check speeds again I am so excited about!! If I change channels on my internet I want to be able to use the exact same test to see if it improved.Show lessMrs.hetler
Helped to realize my provider was awful
Love this app! It works great and overall seems to give very accurate readings.
I had recently moved and signed up with a new internet provider. I ordered the “up to 40mbps” but on a good day I got 10. For one week straight I was getting only 2-4mbps speeds. I let the provider know and this started a whole chain of in and out service, 3 router changes and a mess of back and forth with the company.
Finally switched providers and now get the speeds I’m paying for thanks to this app.Show lessGggzzz
Love It!!
Love the app. If anyone complains about internet connectivity or speed, I just pop open the app and flash my FAST speeds in their face. Also I like to get what I pay for so it’s great to keep your provider honest. I do wish there was a video for dummies at the top of the page so that they could get told about the features and explain what jitter and ping are along with common reasons your speed could be slowed down, such as having interference objects next to your router, etc. Having a video would save some of us from having to explain more than once to some folks. That said, easiest tool to use to check your internet speed. AWESOME!! Keep up the good work y’all.Show lessGregH1974
