I only get the Down Detector part of the app to load MAYBE once every couple weeks! ### 2/5 — App has explicit ads *2026-08-11, version 7.0.5* App functionality is great, however after speed testing when seeing results there are explicit ads which my kids saw, such as women with bouncing breasts or butts. The app is rated 4+, which it definitely is not. ### 4/5 — Good app with one small caveat *2026-08-03, version 7.0.5* I mean don't get wrong it's a good app but it is a little silly that you can only favourite up to 5 things on The down detector that is far from enough. ### 3/5 — Great Speedtest, lacking app *2026-07-06, version 7.0.5* This is a great Speedtest product, however, the app has a notes feature, so one may append notes to individual test results. Those notes just vanish. What’s the point? Just causes frustration, and loss of time and data. So it would be great if the actual app… Could provide simple functions like notation. ### 5/5 — Hello! *2026-07-04, version 7.0.4* This best than anything approaching the is having acupuncture to vpn is better than with WiFi ### 2/5 — Main purpose of app is selling your data *2026-07-04, version 7.0.4* App provides limited information and is harvesting data. The better alternaive with more information is speed.cloudflare.com ### 4/5 — Needs higher scales *2026-07-03, version 7.0.4* We need to go above 1000mbps now as there are broadband speeds in the UK that can now hit 2500 mbps ### 3/5 — Notes are not being saved. *2026-06-30, version 7.0.4* Love the app but recently I noticed that notes are no longer being saved. If I’m missing a setting please point me to the answer. ### 5/5 — Really useful *2026-06-28, version 7.0.4* Really really useful!! 🥳 and well worth £0.99 for ad removal👌 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-27, version 7.0.4* Love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPadOS resize issue *2026-08-20, version 7.0.5* On iPadOS if the window is not full-size, the UI elements are off screen to the level and the user is unable to view speed data, unless they then go into their result page. This bug has been persisting for over a year, please fix. It’s crazy how there’s been zero attempt to resolve a major UI issue ### 1/5 — If you add megabytes per second testing I will use this app and make review 5 stars *2026-08-18, version 7.0.5* Goodbye ### 1/5 — Collect WAY too much info *2026-08-13, version 7.0.5* I know, 90% of the time we don't read these things, but please read the information this app collects. I have never witnessed an app collecting so much personal information, including usernames, passwords, social media posts, political, affiliation, religion, other apps you download I could go on and on, but it's pretty much everything you have or will do on your phone. I immediately deleted this app and data contained within. Didn't even agree to the terms or run the test, this is ridiculous. It's more of a data collection than it is an app. USER BEWARE‼️ not to mention it they share it with everyone and their brother if you read the fine print, avoid this app like the plague! ### 1/5 — iSO 15.3.1 打开直接闪退，用不了。 *2026-08-02, version 7.0.5* iSO 15.3.1 打开直接闪退，用不了。 ### 1/5 — SERVERS *2026-07-22, version 7.0.5* Speedtest used to be much better at automatically finding the right servers. It would usually select the closest server, often my own Internet provider’s server. Now it randomly chooses servers that are not even relevant or nearby, making the results less accurate and frustrating. Please improve the automatic server selection. ### 1/5 — App is broken, use the browser *2026-07-20, version 7.0.5* App throughput is only 10% of the same connection on the Safari browser. iPhone 15 Pro, IOS 26.5.2, Speedtest.net app v7.0.5 ### 1/5 — Now with advanced tracking *2026-07-20, version 7.0.5* This was an awesome app. I used it all the time. I recommended it to co workers so they can test network speeds at venues we will be running events at. I deleted it today because they just changed the app such that you MUST agree to personalized ad trackers being installed on your device. No. You don’t need that. You got too greedy and now I will never use an Ookla app or product again. You lost my trust. ### 1/5 — Data collection *2026-07-17, version 7.0.5* why does this collect so much telemetry including location, scummy app just use the website ### 1/5 — This release (7.0.4) hangs on iPhone 17e iOS 26.5 *2026-07-01, version 7.0.4* This release (7.0.4) hangs on iPhone 17e iOS 26.5 enough! ### 1/5 — Zero for release notes *2026-07-01, version 7.0.4* Bug fixes an improvements, what the hell does that mean? Just try putting something reasonable in here just one sentence that says what you're changing. It's not that hard. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Priceless *2026-08-24, version 7.0.5* This app is simply priceless. It let you know when a website is down and gives you details on what services are currently unavailable. If there’s a power outage it let you know Where it’s happening. It’s simply unparalleled service. Hats off to the creators who made it ### 5/5 — the best!! *2026-08-19, version 7.0.5* Great speedtest!! yayayayaa ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-11, version 7.0.5* Good ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-10, version 7.0.5* This is an awesome app that keeps you going because you can tell us something on your Internet’s out ### 5/5 — It tests speed *2026-08-06, version 7.0.5* I know that sounds daft as that’s what it should do but it just does that. Really well IMO. ### 5/5 — Clean app *2026-07-28, version 7.0.5* Best app I’ve used to monitor/ measure speed for years now. Freedom to use without unwanted solicitation. ### 5/5 — The best Wi-Fi app *2026-07-23, version 7.0.5* I used this at a hotel it’s so good ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-18, version 7.0.5* I use Speedtest regularly. ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-07-16, version 7.0.5* Best wifi app and always runs smoothly 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Works excellent for me for over a decade *2026-07-05, version 7.0.4* Test your Internet, speed, easy and quick. And I love that by creating an account. My speed test results are stored and I can refer back to them years later if necessary. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
