Reviews of Original

  • What even is this app icon? The FCC has a logo.

    Is there some obscure regulation that could be interpreted that placement of FCC logo on an app icon would be misuse? Be bold, forge your own interpretation. The current icon is store-brand; a photo of a thermoprinted shipping label with FCC in Arial would be an improvement. This is not befitting of the world’s leading communications regulator.
  • 18 Clicks In Order to Run Test

    Would be nice if they had one page with all info you have to agree to instead of clicking thru 18 different checks and OKs before the test is actually run. Especially for the mobile tests… you would think they would make it easy 1-2 clicks and tests are running… but no 18

    Also not sure if it’s doing its job correctly but half the time my mobile vehicle tests fail. Not sure if this is just bc Verizon Wireless is terribly slow or nonexistent in my rural area due to “congestion.”
  • Cannot record challenges when there is no internet

    The speed test part of this app works well enough. However, it is not possible to collect challenge tests (or open the app at all) when the internet connection is spotty. This defeats the main purpose of the app which is to provide feedback on areas of poor coverage.
