App Exactly As Described.

Works exactly as described WITHOUT any ads or prompts. Thank you for this app it works well on my Mac. I was after a decent Wi Fi ongoing speed meter and it does this well and much more . You are prompted to create an account but it seems to work well without one. Thank you very much.

Great on computer

On IOS and Android good for monitoring your computer if always on. However, not very good on your phones

Black screen

Не открывается после обновления до версии 1.3.5 Device: iPhone SE 1gen iOS 15.8.5. Обновление до версии 1.4 не помогло.Исправьте

Неплохое приложение

Требует небольшого привыкания после SpeedTest, в общем и целом работает хорошо, но два момента, первое не понятно на каком сервере тестируется, второе лично у меня не получается аккаунт создать, вероятно по этой же причине тест скорости тоже не запускается

Не понятно что измеряет

Но точно не скорость соединения….

Logs you out with every update

Orb is neat, but with every update it logs you out, and you have to login. I’m sure they are benefiting from the telemetry they are receiving, but way make it hard on the end user by making the sign in all the time?

Great Internet Connectivity App

Amazing app for evaluating the real world performance of your internet connection

Не работает!

Постоянно показывает одни и тоже цифры будто скриншот, русского нет, по ходу какая-то пародия на программу замеров!

Apple TV

Please add a version for AppleTV!

Let’s Orb

Orb is fantastic. It’s a perfect balance of deep nerdy details to fix problems, and high level numbers my parents understand. Quick glance - I know exactly how my internet is and was performing. Nothing is quite like it, and it just works brilliantly.

Had to uninstall

Installed on phone and PCs to monitor local network. Had to delete because no run in background option. Opens console on desktop every time even if unchecking box to open on startup. Unacceptable overhead.

Total mess

I’ll give one star for the level of detail it appears to capture, and for showing us exactly what data of mine they’re selling to carriers and ISPs, but what am I supposed to do with any of this info when I know my internet is slow, other than what I’d obviously do: move closer, restart gear, replace old gear, call ISP, etc… And my ISP won’t care, they don’t promise a Jitter rate??

Good, but…

The app itself is very good, especially comparing to the original speedtest. The interface itself is convenient and pleasant, but: 1. Why didn’t you copy features from speediest like down detector or testing adaptive framerate? Because this app could be a replacement for speediest itself. 2. «Orbs on this network» feature is kind of useless, because you can only see the stats from your another device in the same network that is running Orb. What I suggest doing is making a peer to peer test of speed, reliability, etc. which could be a very good representation of WiFi or Wired network performance, i.e. if I’m testing it from 2 phones in the same wifi. This would make this tool 5 start for me!

Please make a Apple TV app

Please make an Apple TV app and PlayStation app!

Speed?

Doesn’t show accurate speeds during tests , tested against several other speed test apps and sites , was way lower than anywhere else. Seems capped at a little under a gig.

Полезная софтина

Не во всем пока разобрался но инструмент однозначно полезный!

Good Network Insights

Good for getting some insight into your home networks.

Suggestion

I love this app but I just wish it can run in the background since I don’t have a pc or spare device to keep it running

Интересно но не совсем понятно

Хотелось бы больше описания что тестируется и до какого сервера.

Not useful

Work slow. And don’t know what’s the meaning of the numbers
