Crashes on startup every time. *2019-12-17* It shows progress bar “connecting to server” then the entire app crashes. Complete DOA. ### 1/5 — Does not work anymore *2019-12-16, version 5.0.0* My iPhone 11 Pro would get stuck while trying to connect to server ### 1/5 — Sync error *2019-11-21* It get about half way downloading and then displays “Sync Error” dialog with ok button. When I press ok the dialog pop right back up. App is useless with this problem downloading data. I will fix rating once this bug is fixed. ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-11-21* Ios 13.2.2 freezing at connecting to server then crashing ### 1/5 — Not great *2019-11-02* I open the app (on iOS 13) and it, after making you download a 747 MB “file synchronization”, only stays on the “connecting to server” screen for about three years and then crashes. ### 1/5 — SQL logic error or missing database *2016-05-13* Yep. Same as the above review on iPhone 6s Plus. ### 1/5 — Error when starting 100% of time on iPad Pro *2016-04-24* "SQL logic error or missing database" on this update ### 1/5 — Constant crash *2015-12-09* Constantly crashing on iOS 9.2 iPhone 6s Plus ### 1/5 — Crashing *2015-12-09, version 3.1.2* Latest version is failing on an iPhone 6 Plus with "Testfactory:failed to create test" error message ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good. *2025-10-27* I downloaded this on iPhone 12 Pro Max, and when I open it it says an error with OK button, I click OK button and it keeps popping up, I restarted the app 4 times, restarted my iPhone 2 times and still no fix. I wasted 1GB of my iPhone’s storage and I will delete this app until the bug is fixed. Review will also be updated when bug is fixed. Do NOT download. ### 1/5 — New stop fix for new iPhone 15 pro *2023-10-03* Your app shows this phone slower then a iPhone SE 22 that not right and this app is the only one does it please update your app one of my favorite apps when it works ### 1/5 — Inaccurate results *2022-07-30* How is my M1 iPad pro having lower score than a iPhone SE in some tests? And on the results page on the gfx website, how then is my M1 beating an RTX 2070?! ### 1/5 — Stuck on connecting to server *2020-04-19* Tried multiple times, couldn’t get past the connection stage. Why does it even need to connect? ### 1/5 — Crash on latest iOS *2020-04-16* Need an update, it consistently crashes since iOS 13.2. ### 1/5 — Won’t start on modern devices *2020-04-08* Completely stopped working on the latest iPads, absolutely no word from the developer on any channels as to what’s going on. ### 1/5 — Downloads 700+ MB of “sync data” then hangs *2020-03-15* Useless. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2020-03-05, version 5.0.0* Stuck, “connecting to a server”. I can’t get past the initial loading screen. This is absolutely unacceptable, fix your app. ### 1/5 — App is crap *2020-02-14* Won’t even open after downloading the 750mb library. Don’t bother downloading this piece of junk. ### 1/5 — A year without updates *2020-01-06* As I stated with the description, a year without any updates. While the android side of things is getting support. Also not being able to connect to your server, shouldn’t be a requirement to load the benchmark. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — review *2021-07-14, version 5.0.1* ios? ### 5/5 — Great GPU Benchmark *2020-05-21* Glad to see the new update. It’s great that now we download contents less than before when launching the app. Hope some obsolete tests could be removed and more complex graphics tests could be added ### 5/5 — Failed to creat test on iOS 9.2 on iPhone 6s iPad air2 and iPad pro *2015-12-10* So gfxbench is not applebench ### 4/5 — Works but *2017-11-12, version 3.1.6* Does what it’s expected to do, nice app. At first I had downloaded both the OpenGL and metal versions and somehow they didn’t download the resources (network error). After uninstalling both and then installing this one alone it worked. ### 3/5 — Easy to use *2023-03-01* The benchmarking process is automated and simple performance comparison tools are in the app. No Apple TV support, so I can’t benchmark the GPU where I play most games. ### 3/5 — ! *2019-10-06, version 5.0.0* Haha poop ### 3/5 — No update? *2018-04-23, version 3.1.6* When will 4.0 with car chase be added to iOS? ### 2/5 — Benchmark will not run anymore *2019-11-08, version 5.0.0* Benchmark use to run fine on my iPhone 8 but now it won’t even let me start it ### 2/5 — iOS 9 *only*? *2016-04-16* It took some doing but I finally managed to "purchase" the app in iTunes and then download a version that would run on iOS 8.4. This was a real pain, thank you. But the fact that I was able to bench my iPhone 5s properly netted two stars rather than the one star I was intending. That, and The fact that it is a da*n good benchmark program. But essential apps like this should never be locked out to lower operating systems. This is one of those instances where targeting an app or a specific operating system is NOT beneficial. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
