## What is Coverage Map?

Coverage Map helps you find the #1 cell phone carrier in your area. It is a crowdsourced map of cellular networks in the US, Canada, United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico with more countries launching soon.


SPEED TEST MAP (All Countries)
• Highly accurate: see real-world performance reported by users
• Real-time: map updates in real-time as new data comes in
• Rich detail: tap any square to see download speeds, upload speeds, and latency for all carriers in that area
• Powerful filters: filter by carrier, LTE/5G, download speeds, upload speeds, or see your speed tests only
• Helpful color profiles: default, heat map, and best carrier help you visualize and understand the data
• Easy to understand: see what carrier performs best in an area at a glance with the Best Carrier color profile


BUILT-IN SPEED TEST (All Countries)
• Test your speeds: see how fast your LTE or 5G connection is by running a speed test 
• Accurate results: get accurate results for download speed, upload speed, and latency
• Recurring tests: run up to 500 recurring tests automatically and customize the pause duration between tests
• Set a data limit: limit how much data the app can use
• Tag your tests: tag a test as indoor, outdoor, driving, or other
• Improve the Speed Map: running a speed test automatically contributes to the fastest-growing crowdsourced map of cellular networks (note: if your country is not currently supported, when we do launch in your country all of your tests will instantly be mapped and will show up on the map)


SIGNAL STRENGTH MAP (US only)
• Check reception: see where each carrier has great, good, or poor coverage 
• Compare coverage footprints: toggle between carriers to see how coverage footprints compare in different areas
• Data for every location: the Signal Strength Map uses data from the FCC Broadband Collection, which has coverage data for the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii


COVERAGE REPORT MAP (US only)
• Data-driven reports: the Coverage Report Map aggregates all available data points to generate detailed reports of cellular coverage & performance in every state, county, city, and ZIP code
• Percentage covered: see what percentage of an area each carrier covers
• Weighted median: see weighted median values for download speed, upload speeds, and latency for a better picture of real-world cellular performance
• Carrier rankings: see what carrier ranks best for coverage, speed, reliability, and overall performance in every area
• Distribution graphs: see the distribution graphs for download speeds, upload speeds, and latency
• Performance by time of day: see how data speeds vary over the course of day as network traffic picks up

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2026-07-06, version 2.4.11*

I love this app it’s great for checking coverage across carriers without having to use the carrier provided ones which suck. I also like you can run speed tests while driving and log datapoints in the crowdsourced map as well.

### 5/5 — Keeping carriers honest

*2026-06-30, version 2.4.11*

Love this app as it lets me see which carriers tend to perform better in a given location. This is great when recommending a carrier to a friend or colleague, and to check what the experience of a signal/carrier is in a given area! Love apps that use crowdsourced data like this!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-06-25, version 2.4.11*

The UI fails constantly and requires forcing the app to close and reopening to fix. They really should use native Apple apis rather than multi platform dev tools. The difference is quite noticeable.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-06-20, version 2.4.11*

I wanted to provide some feedback and suggestions:

When using the map feature, could you make my selection permanent? Every time I access the maps section, it prompts me to grant motion and location access. Once I grant this access, it should remain active and not require me to grant access repeatedly. I think a better approach would be to ask for this configuration when someone first uses the feature and then store it.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-06-17, version 2.4.11*

I do not have a strong enough cellular signal outside my home or inside on Verizon cellular. The app shows me solidly inside a Verizon area. It also shows no signal area for T-Mobile. However my neighbor has 5G T-Mobile signal and I can physically see the T-Mobile tower in a hill across from my house. The app is not helpful if it is not able to give correct information.

### 3/5 — Love app but needs bug fixes

*2026-05-05, version 2.4.11*

Love using this app to Speedtest and see how fast carriers are when I travel…but the app glitches often and I have to close the app swipe it out of task manager as new open it to get it to show data when I click on a square. This happens often having to close the app completely out swipe it closed then re open to view sad. Happening on all the iPhones I use for testing so isn’t limited to just one device. If this was fixed would be 5 stars for me

### 1/5 — So so

*2026-04-10, version 2.4.7*

So So

### 3/5 — Feature

*2026-04-03, version 2.4.7*

The app is amazing and everything works as intended. If possible can you make an update to the app so that it can work in the background. Currently if you start a speed test and open another app “coverage map” will pause until you reopen the app which defeats the purpose of features such as “smart” due to the fact that the app has to be open for all 500 tests.

### 5/5 — Nothing else like this app

*2026-03-31, version 2.4.7*

Improvements to this app are constantly being added.

### 5/5 — The Best Speedtest App ever

*2026-03-08, version 2.3.4*

This is by far the best Speedtest app ever and I love the community nature of the app (I have been using it I would probably say when Stetson first made it public on iOS)
