Upload Freezes

Upload test always locks up/ crashes if the app hasn’t been opened in a while. States, “Check your internet connection.” When I’m connected to data or WiFi.

I love it

Like every where I go I test the speed test even at the airport

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars

Perfect for my family!

Faster speeds in older version?

I think in an older version I remember seeing the scale being a lot higher for faster internet speeds.

Won’t honor obligations

Bought this app a while ago and it refuses to restore my purchase.

Ratings

Great app It has down detecter and everything you will need for internet speed and connections and font is perfect for iPhone 15

Does It!

Does what it says it’ll do, and does it well!

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.

ながく使い続けています

老舗の回線速度調査システム、以前からお世話になっています。(猫ちゃんアクティベートしましたよ😽)
いまだに不可解で直して欲しいのは、通信が止まっておそらく0bps状態なのに直近の速度をそのまま表示し続けていると思われる現象です。はじめに100Mbps出て、そのあとパケットが止まっても100Mbpsずっと出ているように勘違いしてしまう。定期的にリフレッシュするとか、単位時間内の平均値で表示してほしいです。

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.
