Works as described

Now I can test if my attached storage is working at USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 speeds. Thanks! I also like the image export option.

I had no idea this was possible on the iPhone! Love this app, easy to use. Really cool to be able to run USB tests on iPhone. Worth the download

Very Handy!

Do you have a bunch of USB-C power bricks lying around, and you’re not sure which ones will supply enough power to quick charge your MBP? This is the app. Sure, you can look in system information every time you plug something in, but this is faster.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It's fantastic to hear that the app is helping you sort through your power adapters. Feedback like this is incredibly motivating. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever have a feature request!

why not a window?

Does a great job at displaying all your devices’ connection speeds, but crams it all into a dropdown menu for some reason. This would be a much better fit for display in a window.

Response from developer

That's good feedback, you're right, a full GUI would be a great for a more detailed view. The current app is designed to be a quick, text-based utility that lives in the menu bar, but I am actively exploring a more comprehensive 'Connection Information Center' as a separate, full-window app. If you'd be interested in testing something like that down the road, please feel free to reach out to our support email at dan@usbconnectioninformation.com. I'd love to get your thoughts when the time comes. Thanks again for the great suggestion!

Great :)

Very useful. Sometimes when I connect my iPhone 16 pro max and my Samsung T9 SSD it only shows the slow speed for one of them like 480 so I need to verify using this app and make sure they both show 10 for the speed which is a fast USB 3 speed so if it’s not i just disconnect and reconnect. I use that especially with the great local backup program that backs up the iPhone to the mac called iMazing. It’s like Time Machine for the iPhone. it can do so much.

Response from developer

That is awesome to hear! Verifying the connection speed before running a heavy local backup is a great use case. I'm glad the app helps you catch slow cables quickly. Thank you so much for the kind words!

Perfect for finding slow drives

It took a few apps before I found the right one and I’m pretty happy with this one.
Task bar drop down gives the full list of connected volumes and the speed they are connected at. This helps troubleshoot why copying files across different volumes can vary so much (480mbps vs 5gbps). Thankyou.

Response from developer

Thank you for the great review! I am glad the app is helping you easily spot those 480 Mbps bottlenecks among your connected volumes. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for choosing this as the best USB app!

FINALLY! All the USBC Power Delivery info I’ve wanted!

So many times I’ve just wanted to know what Voltage and Amperage the charger I’m connected to is capable of. Normally I’d have to remember to have my USBC PD Multimeter with me. THANK YOU SO MUCH. You are an International Treasure.

Response from developer

Wow, thank you for the incredibly kind words! "International Treasure" might be the best compliment I have ever received. I'm thrilled the app can save you the hassle and give you the Power Delivery info right when and where you need it. Thank you so much for the amazing support!

Perfect utility

I can finally see what my cables and chargers are actually doing. Fast updates, clear info, and lightweight. Totally worth it!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! I am thrilled you’re finding the cable and charger data helpful. Thanks for supporting USB Connection Information!

Works perfectly fine

No idea what these other people’s issues are, but this app works flawlessly.

Response from developer

I'm really glad you're finding the app useful. Feedback like this keeps me motivated. If you ever do have a feature request or question, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Kind of a scam

You can find the same info in the system report. They also use the dropdown to link to an amazon affiliate link.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback. You are absolutely correct that this information is available in the System Information app. The entire reason I built the app was that I found myself digging through those menus every time I plugged in a device and wanted a faster, more convenient alternative right in the menu bar. Regarding the affiliate link, you're right that an early version included one. Based on user feedback, that button was completely removed from the app shortly after launch. The version tagged in your review, and all current versions on the App Store, do not contain this feature. I'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused. If you're on the latest version and still have any concerns, please reach out to us directly so we can look into it.

Great App!

This app is so simple to use, I love it. I would love to see an option to let it fallback to the icon when no power source is connected, rather than having text saying ā€œConnected/Not Connectedā€ as I’d love to see it only for wattage when connected.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words and the fantastic review! I'm really glad you're finding the app simple and useful. That's an excellent suggestion for the menu bar display. I completely agree, that would be a much cleaner and more elegant implementation. I have updated the logic in the most recent update that matches your request. Suggestions like this are what help make the app better for everyone!

Works fine…

Now great :)

Response from developer

That's what we love to see! I am so glad the app has gone from "works fine" to "great" for you. I am always adding new features. Thank you for your support and for the review!

Unfortunately not working - here

I downloaded the program and installed it.
It is listed in my programs.
However when I double click on it nothing happens.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying out our app. I am sorry for the confusion! Our app lives in your menu bar at the very top of the screen, so it won't open a separate window when you click it. Please look for our icon up there, near your Wi-Fi and clock icons. Sometimes, if you have too many icons, the menu bar runs out of room. You might need to hide a few other items or use a free app like "Hidden Bar" to manage them. Hope that helps you find it! Contact support at "dan@usbconnectioninformation.com" if you're still stuck.

Works fine but …

… at MacBook Pro 14ā€œ M4 the output is shown as ā€žunknown deviceā€œ. Rest of the devices are fine …

Response from developer

Thanks for the report! I am constantly adding new hardware to our database. Support for the MacBook Pro 14" M4 was included in a recent update. Please make sure your app is updated to the latest version from the App Store to correctly identify the device. If the issue persists after updating, please do not hesitate to contact support.

Totally worth it! This app is a game changer. I can instantly see everything about my USB devices right from the menu bar.
