### 4/5 — Light sensor test not functional

*2026-05-03, version 1.2.1*

It looks like the light sensor test fails, even with the stock display. I have tested on two working phones. Your app might need to be updated to support the latest iOS?

### 4/5 — Vibration test not working on iPhone 16

*2026-03-22, version 1.2.1*

Not bad at all except the vibration test does not work on my iPhone 16.

### 4/5 — Light sensor test on iPhone 11

*2026-02-27, version 1.2.1*

Version 1.2.1 reports ‘no light sensor activity’ in the ‘light and proximity’ test on my iPhone 11 under IOS 26.3. I have auto brightness turned on and can observe the screen brightness slider in Control Centre automatically moving up and down as I move around in changing ambient light levels. 
Otherwise, a very useful tool.

### 4/5 — NFC test

*2026-02-04*

Don’t work on my iPhone 14 running iOS 26.2.1 and my iPhone 8 with iOS 16.7.14. It says iOS version not supported

### 4/5 — Amazing app but has some support issues.

*2025-12-29*

I’ve been using the app on different devices and and it mostly works but on iOS 12 devices the app opens then crashes immediately. Most likely an SDK issue with Xcode. Works on all other devices but crashes on iOS 12.5.7 and IOS 12.0. Besides small bugs, I really like the app and it allows me to easily test idevices quickly. Love the work

### 3/5 — I’ve used this app before on another device

*2025-12-10, version 1.2.1*

I’ve used this app before on an iPhone and it works perfectly fine but for some reason when I’m using it on this iPad Mini 2 The app crashes on start up

### 4/5 — All most perfect

*2025-12-03, version 1.2.1*

The ap is all most perfect the only problem with the app is the light sensor and iCloud detection doesn’t work the app keeps saying that the light sensor isn’t working and my phone iCloud is turned on when it isn’t on and the light sensor isn’t working when it’s working i think the app needs to be updated other than that the app is great i bought the app for my iPhone 13 and my iPad 10.2 7th generation iam about to buy this app for my moto razr 40 and my Samsung note 9 hope it will work for my MacBook Air mid 2013.

### 4/5 — Light sensor test no worky

*2025-11-01, version 1.2.1*

the light sensor test never works, even though the screen dims, everything else besides nfc works though

### 3/5 — light sensor test no work

*2025-10-03, version 1.2.1*

light sensor test fails but my light sensor is working as intended. for $1 i would expect the app to fully function

### 2/5 — Works well on most devices but crashes on older devices

*2025-10-03*

Works on every device I’ve tested except A7 devices on iOS 12 like the iPad mini 2

### 5/5 — Ok

*2025-09-25, version 1.2.1*

Ok

### 5/5 — Экономит много времени

*2025-09-21*

Отличное приложение для проверки базовых функций, но я добавил бы тест основной камеры на белом фоне для проверки поверхности матрицы и линз на наличие пыли/загрязнений.

### 4/5 — Helps a lot!

*2025-09-09, version 1.2.1*

This app has helped me sell lots of devices. (Thanks, Hugh!) However as of 9/9/25, it has had a bug for a while now where the light sensor always fails. I tried it on two iphone 7’s, one 8, one XR, and my 16 pro max. All devices failed on this one component.

### 5/5 — Good but please fix bug

*2025-09-01, version 1.2.1*

This app is very good and i use it both on iOS and android, however there’s a bug on the iOS 12 version of the app because when i open it it instantly crashes. Works fine on iOS 13, but not 12 or 11 I think.

### 1/5 — Not great for an App you need to pay for

*2026-04-27*

I know, 99ct is not a lot and there are no ads or further in app purchases but I personally believe that even for 99ct the App could be more professional. Some buttons do not match the actual function when used on an iPad and the Icons are just iPhone parts from his gallery making this app look very unprofessional and feel sloppy. Now with iOS 18 and later also allowing such tests for free and with less bugs, this app serves very little purpose

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-03-27*

Such a useless app, doesn't do anything else you could test without it

### 1/5 — Hugh Jefferys is a cuck

*2026-02-13*

If you’re charging money for an app maybe make it work?? NFC test says “iOS version not supported” and Light sensor fails on every phone I’ve tested it on. But I can test it on other FREE apps. Shame

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on 12.5.7.

*2025-11-23*

Crashes at start up on an iPhone 6 on iOS 12.5.7.

### 1/5 — App dosen’t work on iOS 12 devices

*2025-11-12, version 1.2.1*

The app refused to start after the app is downloaded on any iPhone 5S and 6. Please Fix Hugh.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-25, version 1.2.0*

Decided to get this to check the health of my 6th gen iPod touch, and the app fails to boot.

### 1/5 — Not Reliable For Critical Testing

*2025-03-08, version 1.1.3*

Compass test does not work. Proximity sensor test does not work. Although I can see display dim when I place the phone near my ear, it always results in "No light sensor activity was detected".
Error message....

Same result on two different iPhones. So I know this is not my phone or my settings....

### 1/5 — Emergency call in Australia?

*2024-11-13, version 1.1.2*

I was under the assumption seeing this in your recent video that it would test if my phone cam make emergency calls. But after buying it and running the test all i saw nothing about the emergency call. Is this a con?

### 1/5 — Vibration test doesn’t work

*2024-10-22*

The vibration test does not work even though I know the motors itself works

### 2/5 — 😔

*2025-12-30, version 1.2.1*

I bought this app and noticed that it has a few bugs! For example when I open camera test I am starting touchscreen test instead of camera test. Could you please fix this? I am so disappointed!😩

Everything works great apart from light sensor, even though auto brightness enabled and controls brightness fine

### 5/5 — Crashes on iPod touch 6

*2026-05-04, version 1.2.1*

Crashes on start. Doesn’t open. But works great on my other devices so 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-30, version 1.2.1*

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Makes device diagnostics easier and faster.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-01-12, version 1.2.1*

Worth buying it if you have a lot of iPhones!

### 5/5 — Good tool

*2026-01-08, version 1.2.1*

This is a good app for quick testing the device without having to enable apples built in test procedure

### 5/5 — Iphone 16 pro max 1 issue

*2026-01-02, version 1.2.1*

Been following hugh for so many years and recently i brought a refurbished iphone 16 pro max of ebay and i wanted to make sure everything was okay with it and luckily it was apart from the light sensor for some reason it would not pick up the light sensor and failed it but apart from that its an amazing app well done hugh
