My status bar is also hidden as if I were in landscape as well. I have tried this while my auto-rotate is on and off and still get the same bug. Rotating the device doesn’t work either. Also tried restarted my device and uninstalling and reinstalling as well on my iPhone 13 Pro ### 3/5 — Too Easy *2022-11-10, version 10.0.1000* 1. My phone model was reported incorrectly (iPhone 13 Pro but showed as 14,2?) 2. Tests aren’t strenuous enough. The 3D tests were all at the limited 60FPS and never dipped ### 3/5 — Does not run or complete all tests with older IOS versions *2021-04-16, version 10.0.1000* I had installed this app some time ago, and worked perfectly across different versions of IOS (even as old as IOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 4). It is interesting comparing results from different iPhones. However, I tried running it today and found that it crashes on IOS7.1.2 (same device I had used before). Also, when trying to run on iPhones 5D and 6Plus, the benchmark does not continue when the graphics tests are due (this is on IOS 12.5.2 on both devices). The same issue happened with an iPhone 6S (IOS 14.4.2) It only completed all tests on an iPhone 7plus with IOS 14.4.2. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing on an 11 pro max *2021-01-03, version 2.2.3* Whenever it gets to 2d SIMPLE testing it crashes losing all data... otherwise it does what it says ### 2/5 — Crashes on iPhone XS *2020-04-19, version 2.2* Tried many times, and restarted device, cannot complete the 2D graphics test with the elephants without the app crashing, runs fine on my other (older) iPhones, but does not work on my iPhone XS with iOS 13.4.1 ### 2/5 — Freezes *2020-04-15, version 2.2* The app freezes at the start of the “Memory” suite. Also, it somehow knew the scores of the “Disk” suite despite me never running the app on the phone I wrote this review on.. Tested on an iPhone 5s ### 4/5 — Great App! Also had issue with iPhone 11 Pro *2020-04-13, version 2.2* One of the first apps I run on a new phone. Provides an extensive list of metrics for comparison. Also, you can view other devices and cpus for comparison. I, like k8rens, had issues with it crashing at the 2D complex vectors test. All other tests run as usual. I like that I can go back and compare these to my iPhone X, 6s, 5s, and 4s rest results. I look forward being able to complete the full test once the error is fixed. ### 4/5 — Good app but *2020-03-21, version 2.0* I have it on a few of my devices like the ipad mini 4,iphone 6s, and iphone 8 plus but when i try to use it on my iphone 7 thats on ios 13.3 it crashes as soon as i try to open im still interested in the app it just doesnt work on the iphone 7 ### 3/5 — Glad they updated it, but now it doesn’t work. *2020-02-25, version 2.0* Crashes on the last test, so no total benchmark number is obtained. All the results are cleared. ### 3/5 — Please update! *2019-04-26, version 1.2.0* Please add more tests like the android counterpart has. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes on iOS 18 *2024-09-25, version 11.0.1000* Crashes after the graphics tests on iOS 18. App looks old and seems to not have been updated for a while. Shame. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2021-08-19, version 10.0.1000* It’s an iPhone on an A12 shouldn’t be crashing. No issues with other benchmarks ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-11-15, version 2.2.3* Crashes during 2D testing on iPhone 12 mini ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-11-01, version 2.2.2* Crashes iOS 14 iPhone 12 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 11 *2020-06-03, version 2.2.1* 2D graphics test crashes on iPhone 11 ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2020-03-28, version 2.0* Please fix your app it crashes every time I try to benchmark my iPhone XR. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 11 *2020-03-26, version 2.0* This app is woefully outdated design-wise, but worse than that it just doesn’t work. I downloaded it to run on my iPhone 11 to see how it compares to other devices and it won’t complete the benchmark. It force quits during the graphics test every time, even when I close all other background apps, even after restarting the phone. You can’t skip certain tests and get a partial restart. Fortunately I installed for curiosity and don’t need this app because it just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Crashes on launch on iPhone 6s Plus *2020-03-15, version 2.0* Can’t even open the app. ### 1/5 — Crash report *2020-02-26, version 2.0* I cannot run this app Iphone 7 plus ### 1/5 — Update *2020-01-18, version 1.2.0* Its time to update the app entirely. The app icon is on a skeuomorphic design from iOS 3-6 the only update was for 64 bit architecture nothing has changed since then. It's now 2020 and no update so either Apple needs to have this app taken down for lack of updating anything or the developers need to shut down and remove the app themselves. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Stopped working. Crashes on iPhone 12 iOS 15.5 *2022-07-07, version 10.0.1000* Needs to be updated but otherwise a great app ### 5/5 — I like it. *2021-03-12, version 10.0.1000* This is really good for seeing the raw performance of your device and it’s interesting to see how the numbers change based on the temperature of the processor. ### 5/5 — Needs fixing. *2021-01-29, version 2.2.3* Some of the tests don’t show or the app crashes. I think you need to update for newer iOS or devices or both or just fix the crashes when doing some tests. ### 5/5 — Please update 😩 *2020-11-07, version 2.2.2* This is my favorite test. ### 5/5 — Great program, 10/10 *2020-10-07, version 2.2.2* Works on every iPhone I have except the iPhone 2G. The space battle had severe frame drops on most of my iPhones. It was written in unity, I wonder how did it get launched while the non-unity app was open? :) ### 5/5 — Best in class benchmark! *2020-04-04, version 2.1* Thanks for the update! Works well on 6s. ### 5/5 — Crashes on Launch *2020-03-06, version 2.0* iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 13 (Latest) ### 5/5 — Hand warmer! *2019-11-28, version 1.2.0* Note: I'm not kidding! This causes my phone to heat up, which is exactly what I wanted! I figured a stress test like this would do it. The phone heats up and serves as a hand warmer. Not the most efficient one, a bit of a battery drain, and hardly the main purpose of this app -- but it works! Beautifully! ### 5/5 — Good *2019-11-05, version 1.2.0* Works good for me. ### 5/5 — Good *2019-04-14, version 1.2.0* Nice test. Want this to be updated. And comparison list would be nice. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
