Thank you!!! Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-05-01* Didn’t know I was being bent over by xfinity until I got orbed! Thank you orb! ### 5/5 — Хорошо *2025-05-01, version 1.0.1* Приложение супер. Осталось добавить русский язык ### 5/5 — Выглядит красиво *2025-05-01, version 1.0.1* Функционально ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Black screen *2026-01-09, version 1.4* 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 ### 1/5 — Не работает! *2025-08-01, version 1.2.0* Постоянно показывает одни и тоже цифры будто скриншот, русского нет, по ходу какая-то пародия на программу замеров! ### 1/5 — Had to uninstall *2025-06-08* 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. ### 1/5 — Total mess *2025-06-07* 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?? ### 2/5 — Не понятно что измеряет *2025-09-24, version 1.3.1* Но точно не скорость соединения…. ### 3/5 — Great on computer *2026-04-13* On IOS and Android good for monitoring your computer if always on. However, not very good on your phones ### 3/5 — Logs you out with every update *2025-09-19* 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? ### 3/5 — Speed? *2025-05-21* 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. ### 3/5 — Not useful *2025-05-02* Work slow. And don’t know what’s the meaning of the numbers ### 3/5 — Добавьте русский *2025-05-01, version 1.0.1* Пока без оценок. Добавьте русский язык, иначе не понятно что происходит ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Internet Connectivity App *2025-08-04* Amazing app for evaluating the real world performance of your internet connection ### 5/5 — Apple TV *2025-08-01, version 1.2.0* Please add a version for AppleTV! ### 5/5 — Let’s Orb *2025-07-25* 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. ### 5/5 — Please make a Apple TV app *2025-05-26* Please make an Apple TV app and PlayStation app! ### 5/5 — Полезная софтина *2025-05-21, version 1.0.2* Не во всем пока разобрался но инструмент однозначно полезный! ### 5/5 — Good Network Insights *2025-05-10, version 1.0.3* Good for getting some insight into your home networks. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2025-05-05* 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 ### 5/5 — Интересно но не совсем понятно *2025-05-04, version 1.0.1* Хотелось бы больше описания что тестируется и до какого сервера. ### 5/5 — Apple TV support *2025-05-02, version 1.0.1* Great app an Apple TV app would be a nice addition ### 5/5 — Working from Home *2025-05-02* I have been pleasantly surprised with Orb and have been able to see my WiFi speed and reliability throughout the day. Looking forward to seeing any patterns with my WiFi speed and if it dips at certain times of the day. I found the app easy to understand and use. I think it’s going to be really helpful as I work from home! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
