User reviews

NOT SAFE

I downloaded the app. It asked for me for my email address which i provided. Shortly after I received and 2fa notification that someone tied to log into my email account . GET THIS REMOVED

Doesn't Work w/o Email

To keep using the app after the first test, you have to create an account. They claim not to collect information, then proceed to demand your email address to use the app. Bad app developer. Find an alternative.

Mission dark pattern

First, I would like to say that this app does, in fact, work. But it looses 3 stars for 3 reasons.
1: it’s ONLY effective at testing WiFi and cellular.
2: There is NO reason to do the whole “Sign in to continue” thing just to collect an email. Presumably, somebody has already purchased one of your products and wants to test it. Just let your product speak for itself.
3: There are better ways to test the effectiveness of a faraday bag than an app. Just stream some music on WiFi, then cellular and place your phone in the bag you want to test. Do the same to test Bluetooth with a speaker. And just start navigating on your favorite map app and wait for it to tell you that your signal is lost.

App Works

To the other guy giving a 1 star just for the email requirement and not the actual app itself… you can enter a fake email, it doesn’t verify, genius. Anyways, the app works and does what it says. It requires an email to test Cell Service, and the email can be random and made up. Simple.

Email required?

I can’t believe they build products and an app to protect our privacy and then require an email address to use the app.
