Not Even Close

This one blows the others away and I’ve basically tried them all. It does a great job explaining how things work without going on and on and getting even more complicated. Thanks

I have always have the app to just see what people are saying

Very accurate

This is a accurate speed tester 500 mbps plan and it reads 500 so its ACCURATE

Such a good product, such an intrusive privacy policy

Loved this app and just deleted it. It has everything useful for its purpose, plus now DownDetector. But the new privacy policy is one more piece of surveillance.

So useful

It’s a great app. And you can download the speed test details, which includes a lot of detail, including the SSID of the modem tested so that it can be used for raising support requests. Very handy.

Business

Speed test gives me a sense of control with my business.

UI is too Wide for iPhone 16e

Really? You couldn’t test your app on an iPhone 16e and see that the speed test results page is too wide to fit on the screen?

Service

This app is good, I like it but when you are testing data (service), it takes a LOT of service, I tested it and it took 1.2GB quickly, if I try every other speed test it only takes 100Mb~ of data I only recommend this on WiFi cus if you use service on the road or something you could be paying a lot

I miss the old SpeedTest.

I miss the Easter egg where you could hold the speed test button down and try to get the highest speed to unlock different rewards.

App Broken on iOS 27

I did not want to leave a poor rating, but i have no way to report an issue with the app. Re-install does not fix the issue. App keeps crashing, sometimes at startup, sometimes during a test, and mostly on navigation. This started right after the 27.0 release of iOS on an iphone 17.

IPad app needs more detail

The iPad app needs more clear ping information like mobile version

Privacy concerns

With the recent changes to this app there are major privacy concerns as it now forces tracking across sites, apps, etc.
I don’t want you to track my usage, I only want to perform a Speedtest and that’s it.

By far the best and easiest to use of all the Speedtest apps I’ve used

By far the best and easiest to use of all the Speedtest apps I’ve used. Thank y’all and keep up the great work.

Solid

Been using this app for years (previously website test). Easy way to check your broadband speed.

Lots of perks

Didn’t know the had so much. Down detector helps me monitor a lot of stuff.

Stopping

Latest upgrade seems to stop during the process on both iPad Pro and iPhone, both running latest iOS

I used to rate 5 stars but…

I opened the app and saw multiple disgusting ads for some sort of sexual chatting app showcasing women in compromising positions.

I don’t mind speedtest deciding to put ads in their app, I get that they need to make money somehow, but the standards for what they advertise should be higher. Especially when they rated the app 4+.

I wasn’t even able to report the ad within the app. I am so unbelievably disappointed.

the only reason I’m giving two stars instead of one is because the ad was a banner and not a pop up (thankfully) and because the app still works the same despite the horrible ads.

So much in the app and they have kept it free I love it keep up the good work guys

Accurately Test ISP

I have used this app for years and mainly to verify that I’m getting the speed that I’m paying for. I first learned about it from an Xfinity tech that told me it was the most reliable and accurate speed test available. My Wyyerd and EERO app speed tests are always showing much faster speeds then I’m actually getting.
