T-Mobile is fraudulent claiming service exists in areas where the signal is intermittent at best and mostly SOS. ### 2/5 — Why require personal info? *2025-07-30, version 5.0.19* I refuse to give! ### 3/5 — Requires login *2025-07-20, version 5.0.19* Requires a login which is weird for a Speedtest app ### 1/5 — Questionable data access *2024-12-12, version 5.0.16* I really liked the original FCC speed test as it seemed accurate, didn’t ask for personal info, and didn’t require location services on. Now this new version requires location and personal contact info. Of course the app will allow a Quick Check test without entering personal info but that’s it. If you’re wanting any functionality out of this app then be prepared to tell them all your contact info, location, and even whether you are inside or outside. If they are hoping to use cellular speeds to help build cell signal maps then all they would need is your speed results plus location instead of my personal contact info. ### 1/5 — Requires Account *2024-11-23, version 5.0.16* This updated app requires users to create a profile. ### 1/5 — Highly Suspect *2024-11-21, version 5.0.16* Why is this framed to look like an official U.S. government app that’s made by a developer that doesn’t have a website? If you click on support, the page gives a 404. ### 2/5 — 11/20/2024 don’t update still requiring your name *2024-11-20, version 5.0.16* The only thing that doesn’t require it is the quick check. ### 1/5 — Waste of time and data *2024-11-02, version 5.0.12* Submitted 30 tests of extremely slow data with all my personal information… shows up in the challenge list but never actually generated a carrier challenge. Why bother? ### 1/5 — Speed test failed and guessing payed by Verizon provider with 2 bars still *2024-11-02, version 5.0.12* Not very reliable from my experience and always not connecting, maybe NordVPN issue on my end but testing from their app should be able and not put others in harm’s way ### 1/5 — So junky *2024-09-11, version 5.0.12* Previous version was great now just junk ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does everything BUT what the user wants *2026-06-01, version 5.0.22* It is absolutely insane that you cannot do a speed test specifically for Wi-Fi to challenge a Wi-Fi provider. That is the main reason that the majority of users downloaded this app for. And asking for personal info just to even try to run a challenge test? This feels like collusion with Wi-Fi providers to let them get away with false advertising and the good old data broker scheme. ### 1/5 — Old version was Better *2026-04-28, version 5.0.22* Like the old version better, didn't require name, email and other personal informational. The way they keep and store data is questionable at best. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-02-10, version 5.0.20* Doesn’t work with iOS devices ok iOS 15 ### 1/5 — Only works when connected to the internet. *2025-12-28, version 5.0.20* I’m trying to report a dead spot with AT&T, and the app wouldn’t load because there wasn’t any cell coverage. ### 1/5 — Invasive privacy *2025-08-14, version 5.0.19* I used the FCC speed test over a year ago, and it didn’t ask for any personal information. Recently, my internet has been slow, so I went back to the FCC site — but it has completely changed. Now it asks for my name, email, phone number, location, and more. I’m not comfortable providing that information, and I’d rather use another app than let the FCC collect my data ### 1/5 — Not a legit govt app *2025-07-19, version 5.0.19* I’m not sure why they need personal info other than location data. I’m pretty sure this is NOT an official FCC app. I’d steer clear of it. ### 1/5 — Poor and incorrect *2025-05-14, version 5.0.18* Keeps crashing. Incorrect data. ### 1/5 — Privacy *2025-04-23, version 5.0.18* Unneeded permissions and sharing of our data . Location , name and address all while selling our data . This is a FCC app not a data broker app . Old version had none of this and worked well . This is unacceptable ### 1/5 — Personal Data *2025-01-18, version 5.0.16* You can’t do anything with the app without giving up personal data. While I can see the point of the location data, I don’t see the rationale to give up my PII. Won’t be using it. And getting forced off the old app is another insult. ### 1/5 — “Airplane mode” bug *2024-12-31, version 5.0.16* This app is buggy and is unable to perform speed tests in areas I do not receive service in Northern Wisconsin which really defeats the point of this app. When I start a test in an area without service it says I need to turn off airplane mode but I am not in airplane mode, I just do not have service. Phone companies in northern Wisconsin have removed 3g service coverage which has significantly impacted phone coverage and dropped calls gave increased greatly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App *2026-01-25, version 5.0.20* Pretty good ### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do *2025-12-13, version 5.0.20* Great app. Accurately checks and displays speeds. ### 5/5 — Great improvement in the latest update *2024-11-18, version 5.0.16* The app now performs efficiently without needing any Pll to be captured. Kudos to the team for listening in and enhancing user privacy and delivering a more secure experience.Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Fantastic App for Speed Tests *2024-11-11, version 5.0.12* Highly recommend for accurate speed checks ### 5/5 — Quick and Reliable *2024-11-04* This speed test app never lets me down. Super happy with it. ### 5/5 — Very happy with it *2024-11-02, version 5.0.12* This app is so easy to use ### 5/5 — The challenge test is a brilliant *2024-10-22, version 5.0.12* The challenge test feature is super cool and the simplicity makes it a breeze to use. I can now use this to monitor my workplace network quality and submit it as a challenge test making sure the operator cannot dispute this anymore ### 5/5 — Speed Testing at its Best *2024-10-15, version 5.0.12* A must-have for anyone needing reliable speed checks on their internet performance ### 5/5 — Finally the truth *2024-10-13, version 5.0.12* Cell providers claim coverage & this app reports them to the FCC which is how the challenge works, your challenging your cell providers claim there is coverage in your area ### 5/5 — Елена *2024-10-03, version 5.0.12* Приложение очень удобное , рекомендую ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
